Life looks a lot different today than it did the last time I carved out a minute to post here. In the last year I have become a mom of 2 girls, a woman experiencing her second round of postpartum depression, a medical advocate for another baby with a tongue and lip tie as well as for myself after a second unplanned cesarean section, an overstimulated and touched out human, and the happiest most full version of myself. Motherhood has taken me to depths I never knew existed and at times wasn’t sure I would come out of, but at the end of the day I’m astounded at my strength and resiliency. I dove back into my own personal therapy knowing that I needed to freshen up my skills and be supported during the postpartum period and deserved a space of my own to navigate the grief/transition/fear/intense joy I was experiencing.
There are so many things in my life vying for my time and attention that I keep pretty strong boundaries around time spent on social media after learning time and time again that the scale tips from a positive addition to my life to a negative very quickly. All that to say, I am learning how to be present in this space and reach more of my community without losing myself in the comparison and perfectionist parts of myself. I’m so excited to step back into my therapist shoes and also terrified at the juggling act of a working mother. Come along for the ride!
