Our brain has a fascinating way of protecting us when we are presented with threat or harm (thank you ancestors), we may be able to hear the alarms as an alert to be prepared and proactive.
HERE IS THE PROBLEM…as parents we see many things as a threat that may not be threats at all! But the alarm sounds off as though you are in danger.

Having kids can remind us of our past. We’re reminded of what we’ve gone through and also want to protect them from the negative things we’ve experienced. It’s normal for this to feel uncomfortable and hard. Be patient and compassionate with yourself.🤍

Does asking for help from friends, family, or a professional mean you “can’t handle” things on your own? Not really. We are human beings meant to exist in relationships and to have mutual support.

The transition to motherhood can be the hardest time to figure out how to speak up for yourself.

You are tired. You are in pain. Maybe breastfeeding is a nightmare or your C-section recovery is far from routine.

When we are tired, overwhelmed with a new role, or in pain, it is hard to know what we need. BUT it is up to us to know.

With that in mind, think about who should be on your professional team BEFORE. Stay tuned as we talk more in the next couple of weeks about infant feeding and pelvic floor recovery—the two BIGGEST contributors to how a woman feels emotionally after having a baby.

Did you know that your brain literally shrinks when you become a mom? Talk about mom brain … but literally!

Moms’ gray matter decreases so the brain can become more efficient at interpreting their baby’s needs and emotions, and these changes can last two years postpartum.

So you might be better able to understand what your baby needs based on their cues and facial expressions, but you might not be able to remember why you walked into a room.

Try not to be too hard on yourself postpartum. Your brain has literally shrunk!

Let me first say I’m not a fan of New Year’s resolutions with grand plans and high expectations but I don’t mind having something that will help me reset and focused throughout the year so each year I pick one word that I come back to this year that word is maybe maybe will give me a moment to pause and think it will help me think about what I’m committing to what I’m participating in what do I want to do with my time? Where do I want to spend my energy and slow myself down just enough to think about it so the next time someone asked something of me my first thought will be maybe. #2026
