Free eBook: Easeful Motherhood in a Commerical World
A Free eBook by Alexa Ericson
A Guide to Releasing Commercialist Anxiety
Motherhood is often initiated by a series of capitalistic rituals set in stone by our culture: a baby shower focused on diapers, registries, and cute clothes; a "push gift" of some nice jewlery to quell Mom's baby blues after the birth; a neverending stream of Instagram ads for the latest infant technology that will suddenly give you a "better", "easier" baby; and Mommy & Me Group small-talk centered around the stoller/monitor/wrap/bassinet/thing that "saved my life" in postpartum.
​
And yet, we live in a world of under-nourished, exhausted, depressed, and anxious Mothers. I was one of them, and I am sharing my story (and the lessons I learned) to help women escape the commercial trap of motherhood.
Hi, mama.
My name is Alexa Ericson.
I live in Fort Collins, CO. with my husband Ryan and two toddlers, Fox & Finn. I am devoted to helping women rediscover and trust their bodies outside of the mainstream media and medical system, especially during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. I am also passionate about creating intentional community, which looks a lot like gathering in women's circle, hosting local Babies & Brews events, hiking together, and more. My husband farms and we host weekly farmers markets on the property, Well Fed Farmstead, which is another way we love to give back to our neighbors.
​
I am also an author. I wrote my recently published book, Motherhood Disenchanted from an intense and raw time in my early mothering journey, and I feel it is important to offer the medicine of those moments to women who may currently be in a similar place. Allow my words to wrap you in compassionate empathy, and remind you that you are not alone on this journey, and that everything is temporary.
Real Tips for Real Mothers
My free eBook, Easeful Motherhood in a Commercial World helps mothers to parse through the capitalized nature of modern motherhood, and instead choose a path of mindfulness, ease, and simplistic joy. Allow this eBook to be the advice that you have yet to receive, the motherly words that you deserve, and the love that will get you through this time.
Free Motherhood Writing Circles
Writing my book was the medicine that supported me through the dark challenges of early motherhood and postpartum. To celebrate the publication of my recent book, Motherhood Disenchanted (which is available for pre-order NOW!), I will be holding three free monthly writing circles for mothers to process, heal, and be witnessed wherever they are. *I will continue to hold these circles monthly, with a registration fee from November 2023 onward.
​
Circles will be held on August 14th, September 11th, and October 9th; at 7pm MST
