Because postpartum deserves recognition
When you were pregnant you were constantly checked on.
"How are you feeling?"
"Are you getting enough sleep?"
"What do you need?"
When you gave birth the village started fading. The meals stop coming, the check-in texts dry up, but you still have to carry on.
It's like they helped you train for the marathon, but now you have to run it yourself, and you're also organising the damn water station.
Postpartum isn't just a new phase of your life, it's a whole new identity, and feeling like 'you' again means getting to know 'her'.
You can feel whole again
Imagine, instead, you felt curious about getting to know this new version of you.
You feel patient instead of pressured, being kind to yourself and your baby/babies.
Self-awareness begins to build, you can notice what triggers you, inspires you, and keeps you grounded.
You normalise all of the emotions in postpartum, because they each serve a purpose.
And you begin to find time for you again. You slowly find meaning and goals beyond naps and milk.
You become a mum you’re proud of, and you realise you should have been proud of her the whole time.
