Embracing Gratitude this Holiday Season
Being a mother is one of the most rewarding, challenging, and transformative experiences a woman can go through. For new moms, though it can feel like a rollercoaster, with moments of wonder and joy, alongside sleepless nights and moments of doubt.
First, I want you to know that you’re doing a great job, even when it doesn’t feel like it. Somehow, you’re navigating the early days of motherhood with strength, resilience and love.
Giving Yourself Credit and Grace
Perhaps you feel like you need to have it all figured out. But that’s not realistic. The truth is, none of us has it figured out.
You’re in a brand new season of life, and you’ve just stepped into a new identity. You and baby get to figure it out together. Your child has blessed you with this amazing opportunity to learn, grow and experience another layer of your beauty and power.
Being a young mom is hard—in ways that others may not always understand. While there’s little glamour to the late-night feedings and diaper changes, you’re showing up for child and yourself with quiet courage, in ways that truly matter. You’re learning how to care for a tiny human, and yourself.
You’re learning how to balance your aspirations, set healthy boundaries amid personal growth all the while accepting the overwhelming responsibility of motherhood. Wow! No wonder you’re exhausted!
Perspective, Priorities and Support
Can you imagine life without your little one? Your love for your child is fierce and tender. Your world, your perspective and your priorities have changed!
Every nurturing act of love sets the foundation of their world. The question is: Are you being kind and loving towards yourself? Or are you setting realistic expectations for yourself?
No one can do it alone. Every mom needs support.
The beauty of motherhood is that it creates bonds between women, unspoken connections. We get it. I get it.
The early days of motherhood can be lonely. It can feel like you’re sacrificing a lot. That’s why it’s helpful to have someone who understands everything you’re going through, and someone who’s trained to support you.
Early motherhood is filled with intense emotions and significant changes in the body and brain. Imagine having expert support and guidance to help you navigate these huge shifts?
How you take care of yourself during the early days of motherhood matters to your health, the health of your family and the growth and development of your child.
