I didn’t think I’d be grieving the end of breastfeeding this hard… but here we are.

I’m 10.5 months postpartum, and I really thought we’d make it to a year. That was the plan in my head. My plan. And then one day he just… stopped. And that was it 🥹

It is still odd how I went from hating it to loving it. The first 4 months, there’s not one day where I didn’t think of letting it go and switching to formula. I was so fed up with the fact that I was the only one who could provide for my baby. I missed my freedom. I missed getting out of the house for hours without worrying about my baby needing me. My ni***es were sore. I hated being the one on night duties.

But then we found our pace, and I started being ok with it. Then I started liking it. And ultimately I loved every moment. It was an imposed pause in my day where we could just be the two of us. He would look at me as if I was his whole world. Sometimes I would make him laugh and he would have that big smile while my ni**le in his mouth which I found so hilarious.

Night feeds became our precious special moments just for us.

But now it is all over.

I think what’s hitting me the most is that I wasn’t the one who decided.

I always pictured I’d choose when we were done — but he chose for us. And it’s such a weird mix of “okay, you’re growing up” and “wait, I’m not ready.”

And because he’s our last baby, this is really it.
No more nursing sessions. No more sleepy feeds. No little hand pushing on my chest. No quiet moments where the world feels paused.

With my first, breastfeeding ended at 4 months for multiple reasons and it felt like such a relief.

This time I made it so much farther and had a complete different experience… and I’m grateful I got to heal my relationship to breastfeeding and got to enjoy it ❤️ But it also makes the ending feel heavier.

It honestly feels like the end of a chapter I didn’t want to close yet.

And now I suddenly have more time, more freedom — and I don’t even know what to do with it. It’s such a strange shift.

Someone once told me “take lots of videos and pictures, so you can remember”. I’m so glad I did 🤍

Turning 40 tomorrow but not feeling like it 💙

I loved my 30s more than any other decade.

At 30, I met the love of my life, and a few months later I discovered my passion for pelvic health and started my business.

At 36 I gave birth to my first son who is one of the most amazing humans I know ❤️

At 39 I welcomed our second boy, who’s a true ray of light who smiles at everyone and everything and just sparkles joy everywhere he goes.

My feeling? This whole ascension of more and more happiness in my life will just continue to grow and flourish as this next decade unfolds.

Cheers to being 40 🥂

Creating a calm, grounding and nurturing vibe for the mamas I work with was my goal when I returned from mat leave 🌿

What I had underestimated though is the impact that the space’s design and vibe would have on me, as the therapist.

Every morning when I walk into my clinic, I instinctively take a deep breath in, and a deep breath out.

I leave everything that’s happened in the morning behind.

The p**p in the diaper as we are just out the door.

The tantrum in the living room not wanting to get dressed.

The multiple times we have to stand up to get something for someone at breakfast and my coffee slowly getting colder. It’s ok - I’ve come to a term with microwaving it.

All the food on the floor around the kitchen table.

And so on.

I leave all of that behind, I ground myself, and I feel gratitude for all of it. In all its lows and highs.

And I feel gratitude for having found pelvic health on my path.

My passion, my place in the community - a space where I can feel like I contribute to something bigger than myself ❤️

Happy Thanksgiving 💕 Time to pause and celebrate what I am grateful for, and what comes to mind this year is our beautiful little family.

Things that motherhood has taught me:
🤱Don’t underestimate all the amazing things you can do even with very little sleep

🤱It can be both the hardest thing AND the most beautiful and rewarding thing you’ve ever done, all at once

🤱Guilt is something you’ll learn to live with, but it will only be a part of you, not all of you (thanks

🤱Even when you think you’re not (insert parent’s quality here) enough, you’ll find your way. Just trust in a better version of yourself, she’s there somewhere ready to grow.

🤱Time will become this weird thing that can be both too slow and too fast at the same time.

🤱You’ll grow as a human faster than you’ve ever grown, and do things you never thought you would be able to do like cleaning puke all over your car, being ok with drinking your coffee cold, and mopping your floors only every 4 months because you know it will only last 24h.

🤱You’ll realize how much time in your hands you had before kids, and wonder what you did with it ?

🤱Time alone with your partner will become as precious as gold, and you’ll miss it.

But mostly…

You will never look back at this old version of yourself thinking “I wish I was her still”

What did motherhood teach you?
