Higher Living Blog: Thoughts on Motherhood, Cannabis, ADHD, and Creating Your Best Life

Welcome to our corner of the internet, where motherhood meets mindfulness, cannabis is embraced as medicine, and we navigate ADHD, anxiety, and the beautifully messy journey of living our best lives. We're in our 40s now, with a little more wisdom, a lot more compassion, and a deep desire to share what we’ve learned about finding peace amidst chaos. Here, you’ll find stories, insights, and resources on nurturing yourself and your family—body, mind, and soul—so you can thrive, not just survive, in this crazy world.

We are all about manifesting the life you dream of, not by ignoring the hard stuff, but by embracing it, healing through it, and using it as fuel for your own transformation. Our passion lies in exploring naturopathic alternatives, holistic wellness, and the small but powerful changes that bring balance and joy. Together, let’s raise a generation of grounded, emotionally healthy, and resilient children by first finding that love, peace, and balance within ourselves.

We know you're doing great. Awesome, even. But if you ever need a pick-me-up or a bit of light reading, check out our blog.

Not Sure Where to Go Next?

If you're a slightly weird, socially-awkward, mentally-exhausted woman with ADHD, then you've found your place. You can pull up a chair and set-up camp right next to ours.

We plan to publish articles on many topics relating to our experiences with mother- and womanhood, ADHD, parenting, herbal remedies, meditation, yoga, and staying in tune with your purpose. It may be slowly, but hopefully weekly, between mom-life and full-time jobs; so thank you in advance for your patience.

So often we move in isolation, much like bears do. But bears come together, and as a parenting village, occasionally we do too. We hope you like it here and decide to stay for a bit.

Go to the Blog

Our sense of humor is not for everyone, but our graphic tees are worth checking out if you like to look and feel awesome. We use super-soft tees with tagless branding - perfect for those of us with texture-sensitivities.

We've also curated collections we find most valuable as working moms. These include gifts for pets, our little cubs, your best friend, your neighbor, or yourself. We'll continue to add items to the shop, but we welcome feedback if there are items you'd love to see.
