If a snake bit you...would you chase it down to find out why?
Or would you heal the wound and move on?

Peace begins the moment you stop worrying about other people.

If you know you're a good person - you don't need to prove that. You don't owe anyone anything.

You'll know when you feel that peace....and that is one of the most empowering things you can feel โค๏ธ

If you need some support getting there....Just reach out. โค๏ธ

You know the saying "trust your gut?" The saying exists because it's true. We feel emotions throughout our body.

Think about it.....when we feel it in our stomach....it's intuition. When we feel it in our chest, it's fear. When we feel it in our head, it's anger. In our muscles....it's anxiety. In our face....it's shame. And in our throat, it's sadness.

But we can hold onto these by trying SO hard not to feel these emotions. Or we bury them because we're worried what people might think, or because we're trying to be strong.
And then they build up and up....and up....until there's no more room to feel anything, and we BLOW.

So feel them. Feel them in your mind, in your body and in your soul. It's just a feeling. We're allowed to feel. Think of them like visitors....see them in...and then see them out.

Giving ourselves permission to feel what our body is telling us to in the moment, and then letting it go is powerful ๐Ÿฆ‹

If you need somewhere to let it all out, someone to listen who doesn't know you, know anyone around you or your situation, where you know what you have said stays in those 4 walls....reach out. You're not alone ๐Ÿฉต

So you've just had a baby.๐ŸคฑYou're in this bubble of rainbows and glitter. ๐ŸŒˆโœจ๏ธSurrounded by hearts and flowers with a glowing light following you around.โฃ๏ธ๐Ÿ’You're at one with your new baby. You're bursting with pride, love, happiness and incredible amounts of overwhelming joy. ๐Ÿฅฐ
No.
That's what we think it should be like. That's how we think we should feel. That's what we see on social media.
When in reality its not like that for alot of mums. Weve had a traumatic birth and now we have nothing but a grey cloud following us. We're in pain, we're not sleeping and we're desperately trying to connect with this life that grew inside of us. We feel empty, lonely and disconnected. We feel let down by our bodies because not only did our birth go in almost every way we didnt want it to, but now we cant seem to feel that instant bond and connection that we hear of.
We feel guilt for not feeling what we think we should feel and we can't talk about how we really feel....because if we do...we're met with "ah at least you've got your baby though." Or "it's worthit though" or "don't dwell on it now."

Yes of course we love our babies. But don't devalue and minimise our experience of birth and/or being a new mum. Because all that does is silence us...which makes these very real, very normal feelings become shameful and wrong.

If you're experiencing some of these emotions, YOU ARE NOT THE ONLY ONE.
Please reach out ๐Ÿ’™

The stigma around men talking about their feelings is still SO real.

Showing and expressing your thoughts and emotions is NOT weak, and it does NOT make you 'less of a man.'

Asking for help is brave. Being open and raw, and giving yourself permission to be vulnerable, shows courage and strength. ๐Ÿ’™

I offer a quiet, calm, safe and totally confidential space where you can simply be YOU.

Its time to make your mental health a priority. ๐Ÿฉต

Grief doesn't get smaller - we just learn to grow and move forward around it.

There's no textbook to grief, no timelines, or no flowchart.

Asking someone who is grieving "How are you today" is WAY TOO BIG.
Break it down in to bitesize chunks that they can actually process and begin to answer.

"How was the school run this morning?"
"How was coffee with your friend yesterday?"
"How was the trip to the shop"

And if theyre too big.... just sit beside them. Be there if they want to rest their head on your shoulder, or break down in your arms...or even just to sit next to you in silence.

If you need some support while you're grieving, please do reach out. โฃ๏ธ
