I’ve given birth twice by C section.
I’ve breastfed both my babies through blocked, cracked, bleeding ni***es and just got on with it because that’s what you do.
I’ve recovered from a hysterectomy with nothing.
No guidance. No check up. No here’s what comes next. Just, off you go.
And in between all of that, I lost babies. I delivered a baby boy who was too tiny to take his first breath.
And I cracked on. Because what else do you do.
I rebuilt myself from the ground up. More than once.
( mental breakdown included )
With a body and mind, I didn’t recognise, hormones I didn’t understand, grief I didn’t have space to feel, and a world that just kept moving and expected me to keep up.
Sore. Scared. Broken. Lost. Smiling anyway.
Here’s what I know after years of working with women, first through the four walls of my beauty rooms, through soul searching conversations, through movement classes and one to ones.
We are not actually talking about IT.
We think we are.
But we’re skirting around the real feeling.
The 3am feeling.
The I don’t recognise myself anymore feeling.
The I’m scared and I don’t know how to come back feeling.
And sometimes, not always, but sometimes, you don’t need a programme or a plan first.
You just need one person who genuinely gets it.
Who meets you exactly where you are.
Who has the empathy to honour YOUR journey and the skills to help you find yourself again.
I’m not here just because I studied this from a textbook or course.
I’m here because I lived it. All of it.
Nobody gave me a guidebook.
So I became one.
And when you’re ready.
This is The Return. 🤍
Much love
