Vietnam & Cambodia here I come โœˆ๏ธ.

Itโ€™ll be my first time visiting both countries and Iโ€™ll be spending my birthday at Angkor Wat ๐Ÿ•.

How awesome is that?!!!!!

I think what Iโ€™m most looking forward to though, is reconnecting with a part of me that used to love to explore and travel the world heaps. I've definitely missed that part.

The part that was carefree, had fun (lots of it๐Ÿ˜œ) and was adventurous.

Feels like itโ€™s time to check in with her again and make some new memories and take more pics to add to my scrapbooks.

Itโ€™s my first one with my daughter living away from home, and I am missing her desperately.

At the same time, I am also carrying the memories of pregnancies and babies that are no longer here. My little boy would have been 14 four days ago.

Add in that I feel incredibly grateful that I still get to celebrate ๐’Ž๐’š ๐’๐’˜๐’ ๐’ƒ๐’†๐’‚๐’–๐’•๐’Š๐’‡๐’–๐’ ๐’Ž๐’–๐’Ž nearby.

Days like today I find myself holding so many emotions at once. Love, grief, pride, longing, gratitude, joy and sadness all sitting alongside each other.

So today I plan on just "feeling" and allowing all my beautiful parts to simply be present.

My clients past, present and future - I am thinking of you whatever Motherโ€™s Day means for you. Whether it brings joy, heartache, distance, hope, exhaustion, gratitude or grief.

Please let yourself "feel", you are not alone in those feelings.

I get it๐Ÿ’›.

This is not the area I focus in professionally, but I know from a mumma's experience, how important it is to stay connected with your young person during these difficult years.

Seeing your child upset, withdrawing, maybe self-harming, struggling with the everyday is hard. You may feel hopeless and helpless, but you simply "being there" is doing something. You are letting your child know that they are not going through this alone. A - Xx

When we grew up and maybe had a hard day at school, we could go home to a sense of safety and escape the nastiness and often downright viciousness to our bedroom.

That is no longer the case. Through social media, bullies have free access to our children. Please know there are supports out there if your child is experiencing bullying. Please reach out to organisations such as Dolly's Dream if you need to.

https://dollysdream.org.au/

Keep communicating with your children. Stay connected.

Thinking of you and your children if you are going through anything right now.

Sometimes itโ€™s not one big thing.

Itโ€™s a build-up of thoughts, feelings, and experiences that havenโ€™t had much space to be processed.

๐Ÿ’›Fertility struggles
๐Ÿ’›Pregnancy after loss or uncertainty
๐Ÿ’›Birth experiences that donโ€™t sit quite right
๐Ÿ’›Grief, overwhelm, or the
๐Ÿ’›Adjustment into parenthood

If any of this feels familiar, you donโ€™t have to hold it on your own.

I work with parents through these experiences, specialising in perinatal mental health support.

I have a couple of spaces available at the moment for new clients.

Sessions can be accessed with a GP referral and Mental Health Treatment Plan (Medicare rebate available), or privately without a referral.

I can also offer sessions via telehealth if it is difficult to get into town or if you live outside of Tamworth.

If youโ€™d like to reach out or book in, you can email me at admin@lifechangestamworth.com.au

Iโ€™m really appreciating this chapter of my life.

It feels a bit like one of those Choose Your Own Adventure books I loved when I was a kid. I really don't know what is coming next and I'm ok with that. I get to write it.

Whatever chapter youโ€™re in right now, itโ€™s okay if it doesnโ€™t all make sense yet.

I didnโ€™t always think mine would either.

Planting a little seed of normality for your sense of self ๐ŸŒฑ.

The first few months after having a baby can be joyful and also really confusing and challenging.

Missing your old routines.
Missing your independence.
Missing your spontaneity.
Missing your old body.
Missing the way your relationship used to feel.
Missing your โ€˜worker selfโ€™. The part focused on career, productivity, and achievements. The part that felt in control.

It can feel strange to think, โ€œI wanted thisโ€ฆ but I also feel lost and miss my old life.โ€

That doesnโ€™t mean youโ€™re a bad parent.

Or that youโ€™re losing yourself forever.

In fact, did you know around 85โ€“90% ๐™ค๐™› ๐™ฃ๐™š๐™ฌ ๐™ข๐™ช๐™ข๐™จ ๐™ง๐™š๐™ฅ๐™ค๐™ง๐™ฉ ๐™จ๐™ค๐™ข๐™š ๐™›๐™š๐™š๐™ก๐™ž๐™ฃ๐™œ ๐™ค๐™› ๐™ž๐™™๐™š๐™ฃ๐™ฉ๐™ž๐™ฉ๐™ฎ ๐™ก๐™ค๐™จ๐™จ ๐™ž๐™ฃ ๐™ฉ๐™๐™š ๐™›๐™ž๐™ง๐™จ๐™ฉ ๐™ฎ๐™š๐™–๐™ง.

Itโ€™s not because you did anything wrong.

Itโ€™s because sleep deprivation, hormones, new responsibilities, and the steepest learning curve of your life all hit at once.

Itโ€™s a stage.
Itโ€™s common.

And itโ€™s manageable when you understand whatโ€™s happening and give yourself permission to feel it.

Preparing for a baby isnโ€™t just about nappies and prams. Itโ€™s about preparing your relationship with ๐™ฎ๐™ค๐™ช๐™ง๐™จ๐™š๐™ก๐™› too.

If youโ€™d like to explore these changes and transitions in more depth, Iโ€™ll be running a small workshop soon.
