YOU ARE AN AMAZING MOTHER – YOU ARE CONSTANTLY GIVING FROM YOUR HEART AND SOUL.
Yet, you are afraid and you compare yourself to other mothers, you ask others opinions and want permission to feel good about yourself. You are harsh on yourself and judge your choices. You end up feeling bad about your decisions and want to know if you are doing this right!
Dear beautiful mama, this is all ok and totally normal. When you care so deeply and want so badly to love and nurture your family; it is easy to get swept up in the tidal waves of comparison, sadness, judgement, exhaustion, and fear.
Motherhood forever changes the shape of our lives. We change on every level – physically, mentally, emotionally, and metaphysically. We create a new identity for ourselves. This is magical and challenging. Happy and sad.
Mamahood is about reconnecting with yourself and figuring out what is happening within you. Learning what is true for you. Each one of us is unique and has a unique experience. Really, it’s about caring for ourselves just as we care for others. It is about healing ourselves and loving ourselves so that we can do the same for our little ones.
Some of you may be experiencing postpartum depression, anxiety, challenges with a spouse, shame, judgment, self image issues, loss of identity, loss of career, anxiety and worry, fears around parenting or disciplining…
I get it, I have been there and it sucks. It feels like this is the most important job you will ever have, yet it doesn’t feeling like “you are doing enough or doing it right.”
I am here to remind you that there is no right way, there is only YOUR WAY.
This is not about teaching you how to parent in any specific way. It does not matter whether you are pro or against breast feeding, eating organic, vaccinating or want a Montessori type education for your kids. This is NOT about that!
This method is about finding your own voice and parenting from your intuition rather than from fear or from other’s opinions. It is about creating a new way of living your life, caring for yourself and caring for your family.
As a new mom, everyone has an opinion about what you should do or what you shouldn’t do, it can be hard to hear your own voice in all of it. Sometimes it feels better to take the counsel of your mother than to dig deep and feel the right decision for you. Of course, there isn’t a “right” choice but there is a feeling within you that lets you know whether you honored your voice or let someone else take the reins. One feels empowering and the other feels powerless.
The options are endless and our experiences are limitless. We never know if we are doing this right. There is no guidebook, it is our own experience and depends on where we are at in our lives mentally, emotionally and physically. which is why the answer to your questions or decision lies within you!
Each of us has deep wisdom within, it is the voice of love and inner knowing that can light the way through the challenges and miracles of motherhood. Join me in reconnecting with your own internal wisdom during the beautiful mess we call motherhood.
Together we will shine a light of awareness on our fears, judgments, anger, boundaries and self-care in order to reconnect with our true nature so that we can feel good about being moms and make empowered choices for our family.
