I've shared one of Farel Mama Mztyk's videos before on motherhood and the dark night of the soul.
She is starting a series of Motherhood as Alchemy. Daaaangg, this video HIT! "There is no going back to the old you. She is much too small"
Literally full body chills on that part for me! 👌
I think it is so incredibly important to talk about and normalize what life is like being pregnant and the first 5 years after allowing your body to be a portal for bringing a beautiful soul into this world.
Personally, it took me a solid 2 years to even feel any sort of normalcy with my postpartum anxiety. I fought so so hard against losing a part of me. When I reflect back on that time, I have soooo much love for that version of myself. I also know now that this was a lesson that I chose to have in this lifetime. The amount of compassion it grew in me for others, especially women and even more specifically first-time moms, who are struggling was amplified tremendously!
Love to all the moms out there! 💜💜 Please feel free to share any of your experiences!
