I’ve always believed that motherhood is more than logistics — it’s transformation.
Our children become our greatest teachers because they are our mirrors.
Their mission — throughout their entire lives — is to activate our unconscious patterns so we can finally see what’s been hidden inside us.
So we can name it. Heal it.
Change it.
And become the parents we truly want to be.
That transformation ripples into everything — and in time, we begin to become the women and men we’ve always dreamed of being.
Mukupati was born from two core inspirations in my life:
First, a lifelong connection to nature.
That connection — and a habit of questioning everything — was lovingly planted in me by my mother, who always challenged new trends and so-called conveniences that often brought synthetic, unnatural, or harmful substances into our homes.
As a child, I was deeply aware of how we treat the Earth.
My parents nurtured in me a reverence for life: for plants, for animals, for the intelligence of the natural world.
I learned to observe. I watched how animals parented instinctively — how they cared for their young with deep presence and clarity. They didn’t need parenting books or how-to guides. They trusted their instincts.
Years later, my teenage friends would laugh when I became completely captivated by documentaries on insects, bacteria, or mammals — but for me, I was in awe of nature’s wisdom and resilience.
That reverence stayed with me.
And when I set out to build Mukupati, I knew I wanted every part of it to reflect those values.
That’s why we use organic materials, follow ethical production practices, and commit to minimal waste.
Our children deserve a planet that thrives.
And so do we.
Second, the creative spark that reawakened after the birth of my second son.
It had been dormant for a while — not gone, just quietly waiting while I poured all my energy into adapting to motherhood, a new culture, and raising my first child. That experience put me face to face with my deepest instincts — and with all the noise from the outside world telling me what I “should” do.
Then, that spark came back. But this time, with purpose.
A purpose to support other mothers through this beautiful, raw, complex, transformative journey of parenting.
A journey I’m still on — daily, moment by moment — because growing into the mother and woman I want to be is an ongoing, conscious practice.
That’s why I created this YouTube channel.
It’s a love letter to the evolution that happens when we choose to mother with presence.
It’s for all of us learning to slow down, to tune in — to stop rushing and start connecting:
With ourselves.
With our children.
With the wisdom within.
We’ll talk about Potty Training, of course — because that’s often the first time we are asked to guide our children not from control, but with respect. They’re no longer babies. And that realization alone can bring frustration and resistance. They’re still deeply attached to us, but beginning to test their independence — and that’s not easy.
But we’ll also go beyond the diapers.
We’ll explore the deep questions, the hidden growth, the moments that shape us.
Because in parenting, there are no shortcuts.
Screens, toys, daycare, or trendy advice might give temporary relief…
But real guidance?
That comes from within.
When we slow down.
When we do the inner work.
When we show up — again and again — with intention.
That’s when something beautiful happens:
We begin to become who we were always meant to be.
Join me on this path.
Our first video launches June 18th.
I’ll be there — I hope you will too.
With love and presence,
Eliana
