The Birth of a Mother

The Birth of a Mother

In this episode I don’t filter, because motherhood doesn’t come with one. It is raw! I always wanted to be a mom. Had anyone told me what pregnancy and labor are ACTUALLY like I would’ve been too terrified to even try! But I was blissfully unaware of what was waiting for me. It was so worth it! But there was so much (and still is) that I could’ve never prepared for- including what it feel like to not sleep a full night for, well- years. Or cabbage leaves actually do help with engorgement. Google it. I didn’t predict that I would feel so much of everything. Motherhood is a collage of wonder and terror, beauty and ugly, chaos and calm. It calls you on to be the best version of yourself, which in turn, forces you to confront the worst. I wouldn’t change it for anything. Not for the perfect waistline, not for the most exciting trip or the fanciest house… not even for a full night’s sleep. It is the greatest gift I have ever received. One that I treasure with all of my ever expanding heart.

I’m so glad I stayed: the story of survival, a tattoo and a double chin.

I’m so glad I stayed: the story of survival, a tattoo and a double chin.

So I got my first tattoo! Boom! It was going to be perfect and then suddenly it wasn’t because… the tattoo artist wasn’t there. It was a scheduling miscommunication and what unfolded next was all mean...
