Teach me your ways taking a break, doing less. I feel since becoming a mom, I do more, I cannot seem to find the wind down button. I was literally writing about this before I read your post, and it feels like a sign.
I usually overload and then explode and have no choice but to quit or spiral out. But I also am a confident quitter. I will quit things with zero regret — I feel you so much on the urge to do more, but I promise you’ll feel better when you start saying no 🩵🫶🏻
Amazing. Good to read your voice again. I started writing a 4-part article about my Human Design. As I was tackling this last night, I was retelling my experience with needing space as a new mother, particularly space alone, by myself. And then also, learning to say no, cancel, shift, pause, pivot, change my mind - all things that helped me reclaim my own personal power and respect my ever-changing needs. Looks like you spent the last month deep with your own ever-changing needs. Great job, mama. ♥️
It has been so freeing. I haven’t even rly needed time by myself, more of time away from EVERYTHING else that isn’t my baby, to myself. Any expectation or obligation that isn’t baby-related is too grating. I’ve just been picking off things one by one. Thank you for this sweet comment, I hope you feel the release too 🩵
I love how raw and chillingly beautiful this is. I can relate quite a bit to these feelings and the fight within to embrace and enjoy when exhaustion takes over. Breaks can be cathartic and refreshing. Sometimes all we need is to melt into our little bubble for awhile and tune out all the noise. Sending love 🤍

Loved this one. Feel you!
Thank you!! ❤️
This is beautiful and entirely captures how i felt in the motherhood the first two years-ish. Sending you so much love, it gets easier! 🤍
Thank you so much! 9-12 months is tiring but it is steadily getting easier. Trying to embrace the chaos before I blink ❤️
