" STOP TRYING TO BE Perfect,
EMBRACE REAL, EVERYDAY life"
~ Gabriella Hunt
When you give birth to a child, you give birth to a mother, too. Just as your infant learns to make sense of this brand new, colorful work, you are learning what it means to be a mom. More to the point, you're learning what it means to be you and to be a mom.
There are pleasures in this process, and there are challenges. Chances are, you find yourself suddenly overwhelmed by a wealth of internal and societal pressures to make being a mom look effortless (as if you don't have enough to do). You bear down, trying to get everything about life with a new baby just right. The good news? There's no such thing. The bad news? Many new moms don't slow down often or long enough to actually believe it - our design to look good and fit in gets in our own way of having the compassion we need for ourselves and others experiencing similar challenges.
Motherhood can be about thriving from the beginning. Like with all transitions of identity it likely won't be picture-perfect, but it's only a struggle if you say so.
