Thoughts on Postpartum

Isn’t it incredible that in that first moment after birth a person takes on an entirely new identity? In an instant, one goes from Sister, Friend, Partner, Wife, to Mom, Mama, Mother. And yet, the actual growing into Motherhood, for many women, is not an instant.

The matrescence process is not always love at first sight, or thriving to care for your new baby while also managing your own health. It can be difficult, and it can be far from what was expected.

It’s a much slower, potentially strenuous process of wild challenges, overcoming pervasive doubts, and learning about twenty new things each day for many weeks on end. All the while you’re at your most tired, ever.

In starting a BETTER TOGETHER group, we aim to create a soft place to land for those experiencing the hardship of Parenthood. We hope to provide a space to be heard, to be seen, and to be understood. And we will strive to create meaningful connection and provide abundant encouragement to those entrusting us with their hearts, and stories during an incredibly vulnerable time.
