Both are beautiful! 💙💛❤️
I know it’s hard when you’re validated at some times and not others, but yet…you are all the same.
I took these two pictures quite a season or two apart. The first, on a day of struggle. The second on a day of great gratitude.
Funny part being I look no different, I am no different. I was just being validated more for one than the other.
Truthfully, I don’t have much else to say. No real profound words to accompany this.
Just wanted to share this
“huh” / “aha” moment with you.
Sometimes that subtle awareness can make a big difference as we move through.

Postpartum can include a spectrum of experiences. No matter where yours falls, speak your truth, embrace your reality and get support in all of its forms. 💙

Dr. Gabor Mate is gold!
A good reminder that, at the end of the day, is about relationship. ❤️
Too often, parenting is reduced to a set of techniques and strategies to get our kids to go to sleep, eat their vegetables, not hit their brother, do their chores…
Imagine if a partner sought out techniques and strategies to get you to sleep with them, lose weight, or keep the house clean.
It’s deeply disrespectful and dehumanizing!
Let’s stop seeing parenting as behavior management and manipulation and learn to have relationship instead. 💗

Disclaimer: I do think there are people, who could objectively say their body was "ruined" by pregnancy & childbirth, especially in difficult or high risk or traumatic circumstances. But I love this re-framing for the "normal" spectrum!

Parenting is challenging. It's ok to be honest with your kids and take a break.
