“No one told me motherhood could feel so lonely.” 💕🫶🏼

This week’s piece is one of the most honest I’ve written, about the ache so many new mothers carry but rarely say out loud.

You can be surrounded by people, holding your baby every minute… and still feel unseen.

Lonely, not because you’re ungrateful but because you’re human.

I write about the identity shifts, the guilt, the grief and what can help and is waiting once we name it.

Whether you’re a mother, about to become one, or love someone who is, I hope you read it.

Invalidating statements dismiss someone’s feelings and can make them feel unimportant, while validating statements show you understand and care about their emotions.

By using validating statements, you build trust and connection, which strengthens your relationships.

What are your thoughts on this?

Take care of your mind and body. Love, Nawal ♥️

One of the best books I’ve listened to on audible. This memoir is hard hitting! A reminder of the impact a teacher can have on a child’s life. Not always in a good way! The harsh reality of growing up the child of addicts. And all that comes with that life! A must read!
