What if we took a new mother’s worries and carried them in our baskets home?
- Megan Limon, postpartum doula

What a privilege to sit with new mothers (parents) and hold their worries in my heart.

There’s a saying that “a burden shared is a burden halved”. How true that is. I can see the relief in the faces of mothers as they put their worries into words and talk them through with me.

It gives ME peace to leave them relieved, more at rest and more in-tune with their intuition.

Early motherhood is like a fog. Everyday life vanishes in the mist and the busyness of the outside world fades away.

The fog allows you to focus on one single object with clarity.

This fog is caused by hormonal shifts in our brain that allow us to focus deeply on a newborn.

Instead of looking at it through a negative lens, let's reframe our thoughts to acknowledge the amazing transformation our body and brain is going through in support of growing and nurturing a human.
