Hi, moms 🙋🏽‍♀️ while I’m being all goofy here, there’s a tad bit of seriousness to this post. Not to kill the vibe. But hear me out. I’ve been doing this mom gig for almost 9 years now…WOW (feels so weird saying that!). 

It’s safe to say I’ve lost myself, found myself, and then lost myself again multiple times in those years. I’ll never be THE same BUT I’m allowed to hold space for that girl I once was. The girl before the partner, the kids, the responsibilities - she was someone. I’ve given myself permission to open my heart and allow her to just be. 

Today is World Maternal Mental Health Day, observed on the first Wednesday of May. I’m sharing this bit because many moms feel the loss of identity and purpose. Many struggle in silence. Many unaware that help is available to them. Many feeling isolated. 

Check in on your mom friends, even the seasoned ones - and remember to honour every version of yourself 💕
