015: Twelve Takeaways From The First Year of Motherhood

This episode is all about a year in review of being a mom.

There is so much to reflect on from the first year with my daughter Sarelle. Countless lessons have been learned and so much knowledge has been gained in a short period of time. Of course, there is so much I could share, but I have condensed it down to 12 things that I think are the biggest takeaways that will benefit any mom or mom-to-be. I am no expert and I don't claim to have all the answers. All I can do is share my experiences with you.

I know you will relate, and I hope these takeaways guide you on your own motherhood journey.

Highlights from this episode:

Sarelle's 50-week milestones
The best learning is the experience
Bed-sharing vs. co-sleeping
Be open-minded and go with the flow
Sleep is always changing

When people offer you help accept it

Stay connected with other moms
Follow your instincts when it comes to feeding your baby solids
Parenthood means to stay humble & stay present
