As someone who spent a decade sharing her life and work on the internet before it was cool, I have been mostly silent (on the internet) for over a year.
When so much time passes and so much has happened it is hard to know where to start.
What I will say is that motherhood changed me 7 years ago & I’m still figuring it out. For many years I tried to go back to who I was & how I was doing life before kids as a way to “find myself again”…this created a lot of stress, disappointment, & frustration.
It’s taken many years to understand that I have a brand new path ahead of me. I read something the other day that basically said, it takes a year to physically recover from a baby, 2 years for hormone rebalancing, & can take up to 7 years for the maternal identify shift to complete.
I laughed because that feels so very true for me!
We are welcoming baby #3 in the next few weeks & it’s another new beginning.
A deeper plunge into motherhood & for the first time since becoming a mom I am approaching it with a deep understanding of my role as MOTHER being the highest value work a woman can do.
I’m locked into the absolute sacredness of this role and time in my life & the enormity of what children need from us and how if we allow it, it will transform you into exactly who/where you are meant to be.
