😴✨Rest is Part of the Work✨😴

This was my first year on a birth sabbatical after having 4 babies back to back, I finally gave myself permission to really take rest. Our bodies & minds need time to recover after birthing babies but like most Seneca women there's no off button & I need to follow my own advice. My kids need to see that its okay to rest too, especially if the main goal is to reclaim our traditional birth & postpartum ways❤️‍🩹

I’m still deep in the work & connected with families in other ways💛 I’ve been providing in-home visits & supporting parents right where they’re at. Do you need a doula physically at your birth? No. Do you need to educate yourself & know how to advocate before birthing your baby(s)? YES!! 📚

Back to teaching classes again, one on Moon Time Teachings cuz honestly most of us got the talk but it probably wasn’t age appropriate😅 & another on Traditional Medicines & Maternal Health. I finally feel clear headed again, grounded & free of the negativity that was weighing me down. Feels good to be stepping back into that role 🌿

Big shout out to all the moms who donated breastmilk, thank you for all your hard work! I been bagging up & moving donor milk all year long riding around with white bricks in the cooler & the music blaring 😂 it still gives me a thrill every time 🚘🔊🍼

We as a community put together & gifted 35 Moon Time Kits 🌙 through donations/mutual aid. It was amazing seeing the community come together to help. That's 35 young Seneca girls who felt prepared & supported. That’s a full circle feeling 🥰

I do recall saying I'll probably be stuck at home forever after having my baby but I made it all the way to The Black Hills & back with 6 kids in tow. If I can do that I can do anything!! Thank you again to everyone who made that possible. I gained so much more knowledge, confidence & clarity while attending The Traditional Birthwork Gathering✨🌄⚡️

2025 reminded me that rest is part of the work. Healing takes time. And community care is what keeps it all moving. Here’s to walking into 2026 softer, stronger & surrounded by good people 🤝🏽🫶🏽✌🏽

Stop expecting your newly postpartum friends to be the one to reach out… we’re barely holding ourselves together 🫠

Just come over, bring some coffee, give me adult interaction ✨

They say we are made of stardust.
So when I feed my baby, it feels like the universe doing what it has always done, creating, sustaining, protecting life.
Milk.
Light.
Love.
All intertwined.

In the arms of an Indigenous mother, a child finds comfort, love, and a connection to their culture that will last a lifetime. ❤️👩‍👧‍👦🌞
