seeding your/our regeneration

welcome, traveler

I'm Meg. I'm a neurodivergent mother, writer, somatic practitioner, trauma-informed facilitator and equine interaction experience professional. I support socially conscious humans to recover from burnout and contribute to our cultural regeneration through parenting, business, activism and the creative arts.

My work and words draw on the influences of somatic experiencing, nature connection, trauma recovery, social justice, yoga, mindful self compassion, eco-somatics, deep ecology, intersectional feminism & animal-assisted interactions.

I'm working toward a world where diverse folks feel valued and valuable, where we steward our resources wisely and where we heal the disconnection with nature, within our bodies and with each other.

Super-Vision

integrating regenerative wisdom

I dream of a day where those in supervisory roles are not those who have expertise in a broken system - but those who hold the keys to a regenerative future. Those who have lived experience of oppression, those divergent creatives agitating from the fringes and those who have maintained connection with the earth. Only then will we we break the cycle of extraction and put power in the hands of those with an interest in true equity an inclusion.

Challenging the traditional conception of supervision, this 1-1 support space is designed to help you integrate regenerative, somatic and trauma-informed principles into your work and leadership.

If you're:

socially conscious
neurodivergent or sensitive
a practitioner or therapist wanting to decolonize your work
running an ethical service or product-based business
want to find more regenerative ways to work and lead...

super-vision will support you to prevent and recover from burnout; unearth your gifts and seed regeneration through your

work.

How it works:

you bring a question or challenge to the space
together we identify the root causes using somatic, systemic and regenerative perspectives
we tend to the hurt and tender places within you - illuminating wisdom and resilience
we then work on a practical plan to move forward

As with all my spaces, the focus will be on setting the conditions for respite and regeneration - recognising that this path can feel lonely and challenging. The container is trauma-informed, diversity friendly and neuro-affirming.

3 month commitment
fortnightly somatic coaching calls

AUD 360 per month includes call & resources sent via email afterward.

“With the incredibly welcoming guidance of Meg, I am slowly disconnecting from the systems that I don't want to feed and learning to listen to my body's wisdom"

“Thank you, Meg for your enormous generosity and heart for this work. I so admire and am thankful for your exquisite leadership"

“I honestly feel like being in Meg's spaces has nourished me in ways I didn't think possible. I feel so heard and seen.”

I truly loathe that conversations about homeschooling happen in a vacuum.

Some of us respond to trauma and threats to our autonomy by learning to deeply inhabit and succeed in those systems.

Some of us respond to it by railing against those institutions that perpetuated harm.

All of us are trying to choose safety in complex times with complex lives. All of us are trying to make these decisions against a backdrop of relentless capitalism that pits surviving economically against thriving emotionally.

As a neurodivergent human who was lucky enough to be both homeschooled and formally schooled, I am trying to raise my kids with skills and emotional attunement and most of the time I fail miserably to meet the standards of either paradigm. And that’s ok.

Let’s not romanticise that for the most part it’s a shit fight either way.

There is no space for moral righteousness here - just messy humanity and a commitment to try to dial down the intense noise of colonial capitalism and listen to the little voices that can help us find new ways.

You know?

🎙️ The Wisdom in our Bones with Dr Rae Johnson 🎙️

In this episode of Hello Stasis, I sit down with Dr. Rae Johnson—somatic movement therapist, social justice educator, and author of Embodied Social Justice—to explore the transformative power of embodiment in both personal healing and collective liberation.

Rae shares insights from their decades of work at the intersection of somatics and social change, inviting us to consider how our bodies carry stories of power, identity, and resistance. We talk about how systems of oppression show up in the body, and how somatic awareness can help us respond—not just react—to the world around us.
I also reflect on my own experience studying with Rae, and how their teachings have profoundly shaped my activism and life. Together, we discuss embodiment as a radical, everyday practice that reconnects us to our own wisdom and to each other.

Whether you’re new to somatics or already exploring embodiment in your work or life, this episode offers grounding insights and gentle provocations. Take a breath, tune in, and join us for a deeply nourishing conversation.

As always I’d love to hear your thoughts - and if you loved it it would be so helpful if you can share it with your networks!

A few months ago, I broke my leg.

Actually I shattered my tibial head.

Surgery. Donor bone graft. Screws and hardware to hold it all together.

Like my bone I felt splintered —physically and emotionally.

But.

My body knew how to heal.

Even as I slept, even in pain, even when I doubted—it quietly knit bone, reformed tissue, rewired strength.

Not because I forced it.
Not because I “pushed through.”
But because healing is our nature.

This season taught me something I didn’t expect:
🌱That trust is a practice.
🌱That regeneration is not a theory—it’s in us.
🌱That our bodies, like the Earth, are wildly intelligent and worthy of reverence.

As the world around us fractures—systems failing, certainties dissolving—I’m learning about the kind of trust that sustains.

Hoping to be caught by systems that oppress us is called free fall. Building a nest that can catch us is the only way.

It starts from within.
From our bodies.
From deep Earth time.
From relational repair.

We are not broken. We are healing.
We don’t need fixing. We need remembering.
We are not machines. We are ecosystems.

Let’s rebuild trust—
Not in collapsing systems—
But in ourselves, each other, and this regenerating planet.

So that like my bone, we can reknit what was broken and rediscover our strength.

New study pathways coming soon 🌱🌱 send me a 🫶🏼 in the comments to be first to get details.

What you are feeling is not a lack of capacity

It’s a lack of connection and care.

PS - look at what a big boy Pie is now!

Earlier this year I nearly collapsed back into the bosom of whitewashed business bullshit …

I convinced myself that I needed a new website, a new course, a new professional version of me and that if I could be perfect and consistent enough, all my monetary dreams would come true.

It was a misguided attempt at soothing the fear that I often feel when I realise that full time homeschooling + part time work + capitalism = empty bank accounts.

The wild thing is that I actually nearly re-convinced myself that my spending (a lot) of money to fix all my perceived deficits would leave me better off 🤣 as in - having less money would make me feel like I had more.

Eventually I soothed somatically the actual sensation of pain and fear - and went on with my life and work. But it reminded me just how insidious colonial capitalism is … even within my echo chamber.

The truth is that running a business in a way that honours humans and bodies is slower. It’s less adrenalised. It’s quieter and not as shiny.

To do business in this way I have two jobs - I consult and do coaching/creative work in order to make enough money. And we still run out.

I work at nights + when I can around care. Because my business moulds around the shape of me rather than forcing me to fit in a stereotype.

I’ve had seasons of lots and seasons of none. And the value I put on my work and on myself remains consistent regardless of income or profit.

My website is a DIY one and people can take a long time to ever purchase anything because we are building a relationship over time through words and shared experience (I’m ok with this because once they do they often stay and become friends and peers and our lives are interwoven).

I don’t get nearly enough time to be creative because I like to send long emails to clients and so extra things for them that delight them or check in to see how they are doing.

When I myself invest in mentorship I try to look beyond who has the shiniest website and the loudest voice - to those who have depth beyond the shopping cart.

The thing is …. I’ve had all the bells and whistles.
I’ve had the whitewashed version of it. And it was exhausting.

7 weeks post op and finally got back on Bowie without bearing any weight. It took a table, some creative manoeuvring and very good boy but we did it!

The only downside was I asked Dave to take a photo of the triumphant moment but instead he took it as I was mounting and it looks either like I’m in excruciating pain or I’m doing a poo (neither which was the case fyi). Anyway I’m celebrating regardless because it was a good day.

I’ve been thinking though about how the white cis hetero patriarchy sucks the life out of neurodivergent people … and how regenerative it is to reclaim the few good days we have a month (you know those manic, creative epic connective visionary days) back for ourselves or our neurokin.

At the risk of sounding arrogant (but also… most of the time I’m knee deep in self doubt and embodied contraction so indulge me for a sec)….

I can’t tell you how many workplaces I’ve worked in where my epic connector vibes and creative gifts and capacity to hyperfocus and get shit done and my capacity to solve problems and build bridges have been wheeled out to make my male bosses look good. Or how muggles have taken advantage of my empathy and clawed at me til I’m empty.

Truly - I’m so fucking over it.

And so I’m reclaiming the few good days knowing that for me time on my special interests is the fuel that drives me to create, to coach, to care. And that if the conditions were present where all neurokin could channel their creative force instead of using it up just trying to survive (or uphold systems that harm us) then the world would look really different.

Anyone else feel this? Or has 7 weeks of not walking taken its toll on my thoughts? 🤣

Ps - I have a few spots over Easter if you want to talk burnout recovery, plotting a revolution (or both). Sessions are prepaid and can be booked and bought online. @megjberryman

The rebranded podcast 🍃🍃🍃

New season landing soon with some epic guests 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼

After so many days and nights staring at my phone because my body was in so much pain, I’m now bringing as much attention as I can to my life, relationships and the natural world.

I’ve had a decent while to study how my body responds to a constant barrage of news and the consumption of other people’s lives and suffice to say… it’s not helping me to be a better advocate or ancestor right now. In fact, it’s feeding the beast and disconnecting me even more.

It’s a tricky one because I don’t believe we should turn away … I don’t believe we should retreat into our privelege while the rights of others are being so blatantly eroded. We have to bear witness.

AND at the same time, in a world where folks are profiting off our attention we need to also put our attention in places that resource us, empower us, ignite us …. Rather than those places that render us frozen. And it is up to each of us to work out where those places live.

I know deep in my bones that competing with my priveleged friends about who knows more politically is not how I want to expend my energy right now. Performative liberalism needs to move beyond the consumption of news and the moral righteousness that is not translating into action.

We’ve all seen enough to understand that unrelenting capitalism is threatening us all and our earthly home and it is those already on the margins that will be feeling it hardest.

I am trying to find a balance between witnessing and living. Between terror and action. Between marvelling at humanity’s adaptive capacity - at communities coming together - and feeling repulsion at the distortion of power.

Yesterday I interviewed Paul Hawken on my podcast and he said ‘if we are only looking up at the leaders and what they are not doing we are losing the magic of what is happening underneath our feet’. Yes, that.

So what does this look like for me?

🍃fostering community care and mutual aid opportunities
🍃planning new habitats for living things
🍃creating - podcasts, words, substacks + doodles and paintings and meals
🍃visibilising care
🍃decolonizing
🍃unschooling
🍃noticing + orienting
🍃finding trusted news sources

And what about you?

Feeling the quiet joy of tending to chicks and having epic and radical conversations about unschooling and re-valuing care and regenerative business and creative activism and regenerative economics for the upcoming pod season, in community and with my super-vision clients.

It feels warm and electric and fierce all at the same time.

I’ve had a super-vision spot become available beginning middle of this month - download an info pack or submit and EOI via my web home @megjberryman

Why I’ve been a little quiet over here 🍃

As evolutionary beings, adaptation is our superpower.

Not only am I adapting to life on one leg (albeit a little begrudgingly) … everyone in the ecosystem is having to too.

All the horses can now be tacked up, led off and lunged from my rental mobility scooter (today I was lunging this fella over poles and jumps to bring him back into shape).

This means not only that I still get to spend time with them, but that they are building their therapeutic skills too ❤️

And yes… mostly it’s scratches and treats and muzzle kisses much more than it’s hard work. Because they need to receive care just as much as we do.

I’ve got just one last space for super-vision left for this season.

If it’s yours DM me or download the info pack and fill out the EOI at my web home @megjberryman

The girls found the most perfect little birds nest today 🪹

PS - somatic coaching and super-vision spaces are filling up for the next few months. Grab a package or submit an EOI if it’s time for your/our regeneration.

The last few weeks recovering from surgery have been really hard …. But, we have been absolutely cocooned in community which has made such a massive difference.

We’ve had folks:

🍃organise a meal train and drop food
🍃have kids over for play dates
🍃send food and gifts to hospital
🍃 drop flowers
🍃take out our garbage
🍃help with animal care
🍃clean
🍃buy frozen meals
🍃fill up our car with petrol
🍃check in and send messages
🍃help cover the costs of a mobility scooter ..

Just to name a few. It’s almost overwhelming because most of the time I’m barely able to show up for others as much as I’d like because … life/capitalism/general brain chaos.

But the truth is community care has to be our future. I believe it with every cell of my body. We live in ecosystems of reciprocity and remembering that we are all worthy of care and love regardless of our capacity to be productive in capitalist terms is the very start of our regeneration.

Breaking your leg when you full time homeschool and part time work for yourself and have very little financial safety net sucks. But friends and family who love you through it are the magical unicorns that make it tolerable.

So thank you to my unicorns. 🦄

I love you so very much.

This kid is 9 today and I can’t really believe I’ve been a mother for nearly a decade.

Millie - you are the most genuinely kind, fiercely loyal and wisest souls I’ve ever met. The fact that you chose me as your mum boggles my mind … for it is you who has shaped me - softened my hard edges and chiseled away my fixed perceptions - more than I have shaped you.

You have the most laser sharp intuition and the deepest sense of justice I’ve ever known. You have goldmines of strengths and gifts even when things feel hard - and hundreds of hands supporting you in life.

But know that regardless of what you do …. And how you are. Irrespective of what comes next. You are loved today and everyday beyond words. Just for existing….

exactly as you are ❤️

Just over here watching folks apologise for, minimise or invisibilise the cost of their caring responsibilities over here and dreaming about a day where we don’t have to do that 🍃

A shattered tibia was not on my dance card for 2025 … but here we are.

Thank you to the wonderous people - family, friends, clients, ambos, surgeons, doctors, nurses and allied health folks - who have supported me since the accident happened at the farm on Sunday.

Community care is the future.

I’ll be back at work online from Monday and will send some updates and details for rescheduled calls and sessions then. Thank you so much for your understanding and patience. I’m hoping this little pause will give me some time to finish editing and releasing the rebranded podcast season (it’s epic) and connecting closely with my super-vision clients online while also resting, writing and healing.

It feels like I’m a very long way from being out of pain and able to walk again …. So I’m reminding myself to take one breath at a time. Over and over again.

💚💚💚💚💚

It’s time to adapt, respond, reimagine and organise 🍃
