Ava kicks off a two-part series on parenthood and motherhood, drawing on the Functional Spirituality framework to argue that the modern parenting struggle is an environmental failure, not a personal one. Our nervous systems and culture are imbalanced toward Yang (survival, speed, individualism) over Yin (safety, collaboration, community), and that imbalance has isolated motherhood into an overburdened, under-resourced role. She names this as the "best case scenario" — before factoring in trauma, disability, or loss. Part two covers how to navigate it. Chapter markers Increasing accessibility to functional healing + non-dual spiritual oneness:www.functionalspirituality.com Free resources:Newsletter sign-upA monthly update for me on new offers and the energy of the month. Free training - 3 part method of Functional SpiritualityLearn the clear, practical framework for deep healing, emotional regulation, and spiritual integration. Connect on SocialsWhere you can hear from us in daily lifePersonal account & Functional Spirituality: @functionalspiritualityStudio: @spandaschoolLavandula Botanicals: @lavandula.botanicals
