The more you know

From the mind of a parent and birthworker

I have been trying out something new...

I have been trying out something new; practicing what I preach.

I practically beg my beloved clients to always make time for themselves, and to always sneak some time in for their own wellbeing. And yet it has been my own personal struggle.

My biggest struggle actually.

It’s not like I am not supported to give myself that grace, I have an excellent source of encouragement and support. But everyday is just always so jammed packed full of chaos, or I’m so low on energy that I can’t function.

But the fact of the matter is that I do not feel like myself. I feel like I am a faded version of myself living in an unknown body. And what else sums up postpartum better than that, am I right!?

So here I am, finally showing up for myself! I joined an amazing group of people at @wickedfitnessfranklin for a six week program to build a healthy foundation for MYSELF. Week 1 was hard, week 2 has been challenging, but everyday that I put in that little effort into my own wellbeing, I come closer and closer to feeling like I can shine again. So I have traded in my “postpartum water bottle” for a “workout water bottle” , and that just feels so good.
