Good Morning! Happy *Selfcare* Sunday ☀️ I actually did wake up like this 🙋🏼‍♀️🤣

And speaking of mornings, I've been talking a lot to clients lately about what our skin really needs after we wake up. Morning rituals matter.

In Ayurveda, less is often more-especially in the early hours.

If you’ve cleansed your face the night before, harsh morning washing can strip the skin of its natural oils. Cold water alone is often enough to awaken the skin, seal moisture, and protect its delicate balance-especially during winter.

As the seasons cool, our bodies crave nourishment, not disruption. Ayurvedic wisdom reminds us that youthful, resilient skin comes from honoring natural rhythms, preserving warmth, and supporting the body from within.

This is how we care for our never-aging bodies through winter. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out. If you need to revamp your skincare regimen for winter, I offer Skincare consultations.

Children often save their most intense emotions for their mothers because they see her as the ultimate “safe base” to release stress and be their unfiltered self, trusting her co-regulation (calming presence) to soothe their nervous system after holding it together elsewhere. Their nervous system literally attunes to the mother’s, and showing big emotions is a sign of deep trust, not defiance, indicating they feel secure enough to “fall apart”.

▶️Why this happens (The Science):
📑Safety & Trust: A child’s nervous system recognizes the mother (or primary caregiver) as the person they can fully trust to handle their big feelings without judgment or threat, allowing them to drop their guard.
📑Co-regulation: Mothers help calm a child’s distressed nervous system through mirroring (heartbeat, breath) and soothing. This teaches the child self-regulation.
📑Mirroring the Nervous System: A child’s internal state (heart rate, stress hormones) mirrors the parent’s. A mother’s calm presence is medicine; her anxiety can become the child’s “normal”.
📑The “Safe Field Effect”: When a child sees their mother, their brain gets a signal they’re safe to release pent-up emotions from school or other situations.

▶️What it looks like
📑“Saving the Worst for Last”: They might behave perfectly at school but have meltdowns at home because the tension has to go somewhere.
📑Not Misbehavior, but Release: The tantrum isn’t defiance; it’s the child letting go of stress in the one place they feel secure enough to do so.

▶️How to respond
📑Regulate Yourself First: Your calm is their medicine. Take deep breaths to signal safety.
📑Validate & Connect: Say, “You held a lot in today. It’s okay to let it out now”.
📑Offer Presence, Not Logic: Their logical brain is offline. Offer connection, gentle touch, and calm, not lectures.

Studies also show that when children don’t have this secure attachment to lean on, it negatively rewires the child’s brain.

Every new mom could certainly use a village, but having a partner that understands the drastic hormonal changes the new mom will experience is also extremely beneficial and an absolute necessity. The drastic drop in hormones after childbirth significantly affects a woman’s mental and physical health by influencing mood-regulating brain chemicals, stress responses, immune function, and various bodily systems.

▶️Mental Health Effects

📑“Baby Blues”: This common, short-term condition affects up to 80% of new mothers and involves mood swings, tearfulness, anxiety, and irritability, typically resolving within two weeks.
📑Postpartum Depression (PPD): When symptoms are more severe and last longer than two weeks, it may be PPD. Symptoms can include persistent sadness, extreme fatigue, difficulty bonding with the baby, feelings of worthlessness or guilt, and in severe cases, thoughts of self-harm or harming the baby.
📑Postpartum Anxiety and OCD: Hormonal shifts can also lead to or worsen generalized anxiety, panic attacks, and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), which involves intrusive thoughts and compulsive behaviors.
📑Postpartum Psychosis: A rare but very severe psychiatric emergency that typically involves hallucinations, delusions, and severe confusion, requiring immediate medical attention.

▶️Physical Health:

📑Thyroid Function: The body is more susceptible to thyroid dysfunction in the first year postpartum. About 1 in 20 women may develop postpartum thyroiditis (inflammation of the thyroid), which can cause fatigue, weight changes, and mood disturbances that mimic or worsen depressive symptoms.
📑Immune System: Hormonal changes trigger immune system reactivation after delivery, which can exacerbate dormant autoimmune conditions or trigger new ones.
📑Physical Recovery and Sleep: The body is also recovering from the physical aspects of childbirth, and the hormonal fluctuations can disrupt sleep patterns and energy levels, even when the baby is sleeping.

Understanding these natural changes the woman will experience and offering her love, support and continuous help with baby can truly help mitigate the effects of these drastic hormonal shifts.
