World Kindness Day: Be Kind to New Moms (Including Yourself!) 💖
World Kindness Day is here (November 13th), and The Juniper House wants to shine a spotlight on compassion!
This World Kindness Day, we're focusing on extending kindness both to new parents in our community and encouraging self-compassion.
How to spread kindness this November 13th:
👶To a new parent: Offer a genuine compliment, drop off a meal, or simply check in with them to see how they're really doing. Small acts of support make a huge difference in their healing process.
😁To yourself: Practice self-compassion. Acknowledge that your body has changed, and it's okay not to be "healed" or the "same" right away. Remember this crucial truth: self-care is not selfish—it's essential for your well-being. Prioritize rest, seek support, and give yourself grace as you navigate motherhood.
We are Hampton Roads' first-ever postpartum wellness house, offering holistic support including doula services, lactation support, physical wellness, and more, because every family deserves to thrive.
Let's make kindness contagious.
