Making Mama a priority!

Being a Mom is hard, especially when we are always trying to be selfless and meet everyone's needs and neglect our own. The last half of this year I dedicated to my health... little did I know I would be pregnant a month later!

After loss, it is even harder trying to take care of ourselves, whether it's our subconcious telling us we aren't worthy or don't deserve it, or it stems from childhood or adult trauma, or just the beliefs we were engrained with from everyone we have ever encountered. It is MESSY, it feels like chaos, but if we aren't well our families aren't either.


Take a step back mama, choose something you can do for you. Even if it feels hard.


You deserve it. You are a human and everyone is born with the right to take care of themselves, however that may look.


Hang in there! Love you all.
