Protection takes a lot of forms! A mask during a global panny 😷, social distancing, hand sanitizer, a vaccine, a plan of solitude, a boundary with loved ones or yourself advocating for your needs, saying NO, communicating your comfort or discomfort, teaching others about yours/learning how others needs can be met, staying home, surrounding yourself with people who feel comfortable, leaning into grief, leaning into therapeutic support, navigating consistency of nourishment, maintaining sobriety, monitoring behaviors that are lower risk or using a harm reduction or prevention plan, focusing on self care. This is not an exhaustive list of how to create protection or safety, but may be a place to start to consider: when do I feel safe in my mind? In my body? In my Self? There’s a lot happening these days, so be kind and gentle as you’re curious. Have the holiday season, you’re going to have. 🤍

I know y’all love fall…. But I could really skip the Michigan rainy, cold, damp season and skip to the good part!!! I’m kinda sorta ready for Christmas!! 🎄❤️🥂
This picture was taken last year. It was our first Christmas married (10th one together). We tried our best to do it big… ya know 2020… but also because my body was healing from an I was experiencing postpartum symptoms all while my body was registering an escalating HCG level. Did you know those two opposing things can happen at the same time? Did you know after a your body takes a while to heal? I felt so naive. I felt embarrassed my body was confused, conflicted, and that I didn’t know what I didn’t know.
Here’s some of what I learned:
- Pregnancy no matter the duration is a complex change to EVERY single system in your body.
- Human bodies do everything possible to create an environment of homeostasis.
- A menstrual cycle is the body preparing to create life.
- A consistent reminder of what can be, what may be, and what may never be.
- Medical professionals in my teens and twenties, hell my freaking thirties were WRONG.
- My life was a narrative of “I will never carry a child.”
- I carried a child.
- I lost a child.
- Aaron & I became parents in 2020, we also became a statistic: 1 in 4.
- My body (with medical intervention) was a womb and a tomb. My body fought to keep me alive. It still fights every day.
- Those living with can get pregnant. May lose the pregnancy, may carry to term. Pregnancy disrupts the symptoms, but is not a cure.
- During pregnancy with endometriosis, the baby’s cells mix with the mothers, and the fetus stem cells go to places with endo and repair it (!?!) so my first baby helped my body heal. My second baby is doing the same in more ways than 1.
- Pregnancy after loss loses its naivety, it’s shimmer, it’s blissfulness because it follows a grieving.
- is beautifully messy and today, with all the BIG feels, I am showing up with curiousity for what’s to come. Will this year be first Christmas with a earth side baby? 🌟
