You can do both; Motherhood and Service

Ellie Freestone —teacher, mother, retreat leader—opens up about navigating the sacred tension of being a single mother and a leader.

We explore:

• The season where she stepped away from business completely—and what it taught her about yoga off the mat and into the world
• The embodied journey of coming back to her mission
• Why motherhood isn’t a detour from your mission—it’s a portal for all life's lessons
• And how holding both devotion and desire is what makes a woman truly limitless

This is a tender, truthful conversation about coming home to wholeness.

You don’t have to choose between your child and your calling.

You get to do both—and do them differently.
