I went quiet on here for a while. To be truthful, many days I just didn’t have the time to sit and write a coherent post. But, most of the time I KNEW I just needed to step away and be present with the newness of motherhood and a life lI have never known!
I've continued to support my amazing clients and slowly transition back to some work at the hospital after a few dedicated weeks with Layla. And now, 9 months later, I can put words to some things I had been feeling.
Letting this be a highlight reel was actually the healthiest thing I could do, for myself, in my opinion.
Problems arises when YOU, on the other end, forget that. I mean this in a more general sense of what we take in on social media.
When I look back at the memories on this platform I want to remember the days I was laughing, in the moment, experiencing core memories.. etc. Why would I want to relive my trauma? Why would I want to relive the hard days?
Desiring to relive the good times doesn’t make me or you fake. It doesn’t mean you can’t share your truth. Life is really hard - and sometimes it can be SO helpful to know you're not alone. However, sharing that part of you (in this particular way) to everyone and no one in particular, WHILE you are still processing is rarely helpful.
My intention of sharing this idea with you is…
1. To let you know I’m back AND also still figuring out what my next step looks like (and reminding myself that is perfectly okay right now😜).
2. To give you permission to not share it ALL, right away.
3. To inspire you to share your truth - if/when it feels like the best time for you.
4. To remind you that you're not alone. Whatever you are experiencing right now, go find your people - virtually or in real life ❤️. Get the depth, vulnerability and connection you deserve - that is only accessible when you let yourself be seen fully.
