New Mama Era

Navigating Mommyhood in my 30s and in this age of socials has been no easy feat. Honestly, it’s become an extreme sport. A sport that frankly I’ve found my own way to maneuver through tactically. Sometimes it’s a community where you feel seen and understood and other times it is info OVERLOAD and trap of comparisons.

I lean into evidence based knowledge and I’ll admit I’m a bit “scrunchy” – a little silky and a little bit crunchy! I want the best and healthiest options for my baby and that looks different in different capacities. Let me know if you’d like me to share more on that!

There’s so much shaming in the parental community, so I keep my unsolicited advice to myself.  I think there’s a way to gently provide insight to what maybe potentially or actual dangerous actions, yet I’ve seen so much holier than thou speech. At the end of it all, I just truly believe in community and finding your supportive and genuine tribe! 🫶🏾

God’s timing is truly the best and I truly see that I was created for such a time as this. I’m so grateful that my older sister encouraged me to consider motherhood. My little girly is my whole world and has brought with her a fresh perspective on life.

I link arms with the mamas who deal with the struggles of navigating this new chapter because wooo (post for later maybe?) and  I also celebrate with the mamas who absolutely love this new chapter. It’s an AND experience and two things most certainly can be true at once in this experience. Mommyhood can be beautiful and chaotic at the same time. It doesn’t make a safe and loving mama any less than another.

I’m still early in the motherhood trenches, so I say find your safe community, tune out the perfectionist noise, listen to your baby(ies) – you really do know your little one more than you may think and take each day – one day at a time. Maintain an open mind and heart and stay connected to those who want to genuinely love and allow healthy love in where it may find itself.
