Every year I mother past the “postpartum period” — 5 years, 8 years, 13 years, the truth gets louder:
The missing piece all along has been the body.
Imagine if from the beginning we were taught to understand AND HONOR the language of our own sensations (like stop holding in your p*e! And also get that class of water)
What if we learned what the body is saying, needing, craving, refusing. Whoa and what if we listened? I mean really listened.
Imagine if we learned to rest before we broke.
If we learned to connect instead of analyze.
If we learned that boundaries are a dynamic bodily truth, not a personality trait. (how would your body feel with your in laws seeing your bare breasts in the first week?)
Because postpartum exposes everything we were never taught.
You can have all the books,
all the support,
all the expert advice…
and still feel unsure in your mothering.
Why?
Because confidence doesn’t come from information.
It comes from knowing, listening, feeling, trusting.
It comes from knowing when your body says “yes,”
and when it says “enough.” Creating the energetic space to learn and watch your baby, your mothering, your relationships.
What boundaries are your nervous system trying to set? What is your nervous system inviting in?
Sooo postpartum becomes the moment your body comes looking for you and begging you to relearn the language you abandoned to survive.
No big deal, you got this. It’s the reclamation. From drained to drippin.
