//FOOD FOR THOUGHT// Do you know what fills your cup? The things that make you thrive?
And now ...
Do you do them regularly enough that you spend most of your time feeling content, grounded and energised?

Are you giving YOURSELF the crumbs and the world the best of you?

It’s not your job to look like what you see on the big screen, or in the media.⁣
It’s not your job to look perfect.⁣
Or put together.⁣
Or effortlessly happy.⁣
⁣
It’s not your job to look like anyone or anything else but YOU.⁣
⁣
And it’s OKAY.⁣
⁣
But do you know what’s never okay?⁣
Shaming another for not fitting the mold of a societal “perfection”.⁣
Shaming another for their body type.⁣
Or the clothes that they wear (or don’t wear).⁣
Or the marks left on their body during different walks of life.⁣
⁣
So here’s to measuring ourselves in smiles and feelings of contentment rather than inches and pounds. ⁣

We feel you and we feel this. Together we will move through this. You’re fears and isolation are shared, your joy doubled when we come together. Join us at The Family Room Albany for our virtual birthing parents and babe group to help find your neighborhood crew, online. We are also hosting a wonderful virtual Prenatal support group and Prenatal Yoga class. We love you, we are here for you. 🌈💓

"This is not what you had planned. This is not what you’d envisioned. There are no visits from friends, no loving doula bringing you soup, no “mommy and me” yoga classes, no coffee dates, no stroller walks through the park. There is empty space where you had planned comfort and company. There are long days with no one but your little one to talk to and this big transition to navigate all alone.

I know it’s lonely, mama. I know the walls of your house feel tight and the days feel so long, and you crave a warm hand on your knee and the soft embrace of a friend. You wish for someone by your side to marvel at this beautiful baby of yours and to wrap an arm around you when the feelings get too big and scary.

We were never meant to do this alone. Motherhood has never been a solitary sport. And yet here we are, in this odd chapter of isolation and distance, with no choice but to do it by ourselves.

But mama, know this- We are alone. Together. You are surrounded all the other mothers who are navigating this tender time in isolation. You are held by all of us who have walked the path before you and who know how much you must be hurting. You are wrapped in the warm embrace of mama earth, as she too settles into this time of slowness and healing.

This too shall pass. And when it does, hugs and coffee dates and visits from friends will taste so much sweeter. Soft kisses on your cheek and arms around your waist and gentle laughter in your ear will be the joyful medicine after this trying time.

Until then, hunker down mama. Find the coziest, warmest spot on your couch, sink into the pile of unfolded laundry, and sleep the Spring away, with that sweet babe warm on your chest."

You are not alone mama.
