Last Sunday at Orba for our Self Love Sunday retreat, I was surrounded by a room full of incredible women. Women who have carried families, careers, grief, laughter, and more life experience than the world often gives them credit for.
Days like Mother’s Day can bring up many different feelings.
For some it’s a day filled with hugs, cards and noisy kitchens.
For others it can be a little more tender.
In my work with women navigating peri-menopause and menopause, I know that sometimes this season of life can stir up emotions around motherhood too. For some it’s the realisation that the door to having children has quietly closed. For others it’s the reflection on children now grown, mothers no longer here, or paths life took that we never quite expected.
And all of those feelings are valid.
What I see every single day in the women I work with is something powerful women who nurture friendships, families, communities, businesses, ideas and dreams.
Mothering takes many forms.
🦆Sometimes it’s raising children.
🦆Sometimes it’s holding space for others.
🦆Sometimes it’s learning how to show ourselves the kindness we so easily give everyone else.
To every woman who joined us at Orba Yoga Retreat & Health Spa last Sunday thank you for showing up, for being open, and for reminding each other that we are never as alone as we sometimes feel.
And to every woman navigating life’s twists and turns be gentle with yourself today.
Love
B 🦆
