✨Yup, I’m a therapist and I couldn’t figure it out.
This took:
🖤Two kids
🖤6 years old
🖤Supportive husband
🖤 Trial and Error
🖤 Finding my “village”
🖤 personal goals and failure
🖤 Professional goals and failure
🖤 setting boundaries
🖤 and a whole lot of freaking therapy
But guess what?
💕my kids are my world
💕 almost 6 years later and 2 years postpartum with my second, I’m finally starting to feel like myself, and it’s been a process
💕 the years flew by even though the days are long as hell
💕 marriage is hard and having kids can be really test that- and we had to learn patience
💕 every stage is different, parenting a 2 year old is different than a 4 year old and just because you have two kids doesn’t mean you know what you’re doing, because each kid is SO different
💕the village, the village doesn’t come to you, you have to create your own village, and that can be scary. It does take a village and sometimes that village isn’t how you envisioned it. Family can disappoint you, friendships will end, you really figure out who your people are when you have these little people to take care of.
💕 goals can be amazing but also humbling and debilitating but if you’re consistent and patient it will come
💕 boundaries are hard, but if people keep upsetting you after a bit you have to take some accountability for allowing it to happen, you’ll never feel guilty for choosing your own peace
💕 therapy was a must, someone in my corner but also able to call me out on my s**t, someone to be my hype girl when life gets hard and I need that extra kick in the ass
Remember you’re stronger than you give yourself credit for. You’ve got this. Maybe you just need a hype girl and a kick in the ass. 🌻
