Love this!

Hormone shifts in pregnancy, postpartum and perimenopause can make feelings arrive fast and hard. Rage at 3 a.m. Tears in the car. A flood of something you cannot name. Before the hard conversation, before the reply you might regret, try one slow breath in and a longer breath out. Your body will follow.

Self-care when you feel raw
Sometimes the conversation needs to wait. Sometimes it already happened and left you wrung out. Both call for the same thing.
• Read something absorbing
• Journal the swirl out of your head
• Move your body
• Rest without earning it first
• Feel your feelings
• Make a warm drink
• Snuggle your pets
• Call a friend who knows you well
This is not about fixing how you feel. It is about giving yourself somewhere to land.

Love this reminder to be where your feet are!

Feeling anxious? You’re not alone. In a world filled with uncertainty, anxiety can feel overwhelming. But there’s a simple way to ground yourself when those feelings arise.

The Soles of the Feet practice can help you stay centered in the face of anxiety. By focusing on the sensations in your feet, you can anchor your attention, calm your mind, and reconnect with the present moment.

There is so much noise in pregnancy, in postpartum and in perimenopause. There are so many outside opinions about your birth plan, your feeding choices, your body, your hormones, and how you are handling all of it.

Somewhere underneath the noise is your own voice, quietly telling you what you actually want. Real life starts when you turn the volume up on that one.

Hello, October 🍂🧡

This season has a way of asking us to slow down and notice what we are carrying.

If you are pregnant, October may bring nesting energy, fatigue, and big feelings about what is ahead.

If you are in postpartum, it may bring sleepless nights, a changing identity, and moments when you miss who you were before baby’s arrival.

If you are in perimenopause, it may bring shifting moods, foggy days, and a body that feels unfamiliar.

Whatever season of life you are in, it is okay to need more rest, more support, and more softness right now.

When to have the conversation
Timing is not avoidance. Waiting for a better moment is different from never choosing one.
Try to have the hard conversation when:
• You have privacy
• Your basic needs are met
• You have had time to process your feelings
• Your nervous system feels regulated
• You feel safe, physically and emotionally
• You have plenty of time to talk
If that list feels impossible right now, try starting with two or three.

Love this perspective!

In pregnancy, in postpartum, and in perimenopause, it is so easy to become the version of yourself that keeps everyone else comfortable.

But the person you shrink into cannot be truly loved, because she is not truly you.
The hard conversation, the honest sentence, the preference you finally name out loud, that is not selfishness. That is you making yourself available to be known.
