2026 has definitely been a year of huge transitions so far! However it finally feels right to share that…
There’s a new little person joining our family in October 👶🏻
And while this is such a happy and meaningful chapter for me, Peter and Maeve, I also know pregnancy announcements can bring up a lot of different emotions for people. I’ve had my own fertility journey with endometriosis and I know how complicated, painful and isolating these conversations can sometimes feel.
Because of that, I never take this kind of news lightly. But I also want to share it because I truly believe miracles can happen, even when the road there feels uncertain.
I always strive to be open and honest on this page and it feels right to share this part of my life. Especially because I’m definitely not the “glowing goddess loving pregnancy” type 😅 I actually find pregnancy really hard in many ways, physically and emotionally. For me, it’s been a deeply personal and at times overwhelming journey.
But I also think there’s value in talking more honestly about these experiences. Not just about the beautiful moments, but the messy, complicated, vulnerable ones too. Pregnancy really allows me to see the duality in life- the beauty with the pain, gratitude with the fear, the love and the grief and so many other contrasting feelings and emotions thrown in there!
I’m going to keep working and holding space for as long as feels right, but things will begin winding down from September onwards! As baby is now in the driving seat and I am surrendering to their timing now, not my own (which is a huge life lesson for me!)
But for now I’ll be taking 1:1 treatment clients on Thursday evenings and continue to hold bi-monthly women’s circles each month!
Any advice from adapting from 1 to 2 kids would be greatly appreciated 🙏🏼
Le grá,
