One of the things I'm most passionate about is connection to self. I was disconnected from my body, my emotions and my intuition for so long. To be in alignment we need to be connected to and deeply know and love ourselves. These are the building blocks of the universe.
“Parenting taught me to embrace what worked for me and my baby, even if it didn’t match societal norms.” I relate so much to this and I’m so grateful that I realized this 7 years ago as a new mom in her early 20s. Trusting my intuition, tuning in to my babies and staying close to them (literally and figuratively) has been my lifeline for each of my three children — but I will say, at times this has been isolating. I struggle to meet like-minded parents who follow similar rhythms. Do you find that this approach to mothering can be isolating as well? 🫶
I’m happy to hear that you went through a similar path, Megan 🙂. It’s not widely known, unfortunately. And with three children - wow! 🙏🏻 I often felt lonely, that’s true. Over time, I had exactly two friends with whom I really connected - only one of them in the same city. Their support and understanding meant so much to me.
But after almost four years, I’ve found myself surrounded by more and more families like us 🙂. It’s unbelievable! How does it look for you now, after all these years? Are you actively trying to find parents with a similar approach?
Thank you so much for sharing your story with us Selene. I truly love reading and following this. For a person like me, who is currently anticipating and working throught the decision of becoming a mother, it is so nice to hear from such vulnerable shares. It is so rare to have people share it so deeply and truthfully. Thank you!
Thank you, Maria Ann. I would be so happy to read something similar before I became a mother. So I am thrilled I can provide it for someone. And thank you for your huge support!
