Resources for Family-Governance
Your biological or chosen family, ancestors, lineage, blood memory, and intergenerational healing.
Matriarchal leadership is rooted in our lineages — the gifts and wounds passed down through generations. These resources support the family domain of your makeover: naming your ancestors, practicing forgiveness and apology, recovering your cultural lineage, and healing what was interrupted by colonization and assimilation.
Free Guides
Focus on the smaller steps of your journey.
Real sustainable change takes time, and these guides are designed to help you on your leadership journey to becoming a Modern Matriarch. The content of most of these guides can also be found in the book “Matriarch Makeover: A 30-Day Invitation” — the 20-minute journaling exercises have been carefully crafted in a specific order to help guide you through the 30-days. As with all the resources on this page, these guides are a gift to your future self.
