Motherhood Journey

Pregnancy and birth are sacred times.

You prepared for it for years. You struggled to get here, but now that it’s finally happened, you feel unprepared and inadequate. Deeply buried feelings of unworthiness have surfaced at the worst possible time. 

Welcoming your little one earthside is a life-altering experience for every mother.

But your birth experience did not go as you had envisioned, and you can’t help but feel like your body let you down.

You desperately need to heal, but balancing self-care and motherhood seems like an impossible task.

Isolated, Alone, and Afraid

You’re having a tough time adjusting to being a new mother.

Depression has been creeping in for a while now, but a formidable wall of shame or failure blocks you from getting help.

All the happy, smiling mothers around you are only painful reminders of how you’re “supposed to feel,” but don’t. Nothing could be further from the truth for you.

It’s the time to develop that deep bond and closeness with your baby, but you can’t be fully present.  You’re exhausted, there’s no relief in sight, and you’re afraid of what might become of you – and your baby.

Parenthood is hard. There’s no easy way
to say it.

You know it’s going to be one of the most challenging tasks you’ve ever committed to – for the next 18 years and beyond. Parenting has broken you wide open and healed your heart, all at the same time.

You question your parenting decisions all the time – your desire to “have your shit together” has you feeling disconnected in your journey.

You see yourself in your children so much, and it’s usually not the parts you like about yourself.

And it’s hard to be vulnerable – to be honest about your genuine feelings, because underneath it all, you’re harboring deep feelings of inadequacy.

You’ve tried so hard to hold it together – “for the kids” – but you’re unraveling at the seams.

The Doppler Effect of Healing

Your own healing is one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself – and to your children. Because it ripples out to them.

Self-care is not selfish – it’s imperative. It’s not optional – it’s mandatory.

In a world that tells mothers, “You’re never enough,” taking care of yourself can feel like a truly radical act.

But YOU have the power to change the script. You can fill your own cup first until it is overflowing.

The feeling of unconditional love you have for your children can be the greatest gift you ever give yourself. And you hold the source of that love within yourself!
