The shift into motherhood requires us to change in so many ways: our bodies, our minds, our relationships, and our identity.

We are learning new skills and ways of relating to ourselves and the world.

Ambivalence and conflicting emotions are natural aspects of change, and yet many moms feel blind sided by the discomfort that this brings.

Join us this Saturday at 9am as we discuss & normalize this experience of Matrescence.

for details!

These last few weeks have been hard. And for many of us, the newness and uncertainty of this experience leaves us struggling to make use of the tools we typically find soothing.

As we try to navigate this challenging time, we may feel our anxieties rise. We may feel taxed in ways we aren’t comfortable with, and we may find it hard to sit in this unknown.

During this period of uncertainty, I encourage you to remind yourself, that you have the strength to manage this. You have the wisdom to know what is necessary right now. Tap into that inner wisdom with reflection and self-compassion.

I love Tara Brach’s RAIN Meditation; it’s a short 10 minute intentional reflection to help you reflect and draw out what you are searching for.

May you be well as you navigate this time of uncertainty.
Full Quote:
All you need is already within you, only you must approach your self with reverence and love. Self-condemnation and self-distrust are grievous errors. Your constant flight from pain and search for pleasure is a sign of love you bear for your self, all I plead with you is this: make love of your self perfect. Deny yourself nothing -- glue your self infinity and eternity and discover that you do not need them; you are beyond.” Nisargadatta Maharaj
