Inward and Onward

“Learn from yesterday, live for today.” – Albert Einstein

When I finally emerged from that first year fog with baby number two and I was able to actually carry on an adult conversation with my mama friends, [Read more…]

The Metamorphosis that is Motherhood

November 21, 2019 By Me2Admin

… and the biggest piece of advice I have for all new mothers. 

Motherhood — it can break you, tear your heart open, and then build you all over again from the ground up — the person you were before someone you no longer know so well.

From Woman to Mother

October 16, 2018 By Me2Admin

The life changing journey from resisting Motherhood to embracing it.

When you think of who you were before you became a mother, and who you are now, do you feel like they are two completely different people? Do you feel like you are resisting this new identity — trying desperately to hold onto the person that you were before you blessed this earth with a little person?  If you answered “yes” to the above, then I hope you find some solace in the fact that you stand together with so many women. Women that don’t recognize who they are anymore. So who are we now that we are Mothers?

Lactation overnight oat jars

A quick recipe to help get the milk flowing.

If you’re anything like well, every single new mom out there that has decided to breastfeed her baby, then you will most likely obsess over milk supply. At least, during those first few months. It may feel like if you aren’t nursing, you’re pumping. The clock is moving in fast forward, and the nursing/pumping sessions are all blending into one very long day. If this sounds like you, then first, let me remind you that you do not stand alone.  [Read more…]

And then, there were three.

Our first night home with Viola and how I came face to face with the reality of parenthood.

As I hobbled my way out of the maternity ward, barely able to stand upright after my caesarean, I could hardly believe they were letting us leave with this little living person. Didn’t they like, send you home with a nurse or a manual? Something? Anything? [Read more…]

So, You’re a Mother…

The Not-So-Gentle Transition into Motherhood.

A baby is born, and with that, a Mother is born alongside it. You may have felt like a Mama as soon as you saw that plus sign on the pregnancy test, but nothing can prepare you for the overwhelming reality of meeting that little person in the flesh. What an amazing, beautiful thing! The love you feel for your newborn is something you have never experienced. This is better than you could have ever imagined.

Or, is it? [Read more…]

Why Hire a Doula?

July 5, 2018 By Me2Admin

Who are we and what sets us apart from other support networks?

When I say I am a postpartum Doula, the most common question I get asked is, “What is that?”The second question is, “What do you do?” Or, “How are you different than say, a babysitter or housekeeper?”

So, what is a Doula, and what makes us different? [Read more…]

“I’ll do it later.” Famous words by... me! “I’ll do it later.”

Famous words by... me! Ha! I am so guilty of shelving the things that I find the least exciting. Tax season? Worst! 

The problem with doing this is that these tasks don’t just go away and whether we realize it or not, they weigh us down. We can keep working on the things we love but if we don’t take care of the ‘housekeeping’ items, we get held back. 

So write a list of all those little annoying tasks/errands that need to be done and start check them off! ✔️

Where my ‘super feelers’ at? 🙋🏼‍♀️ Where my ‘super feelers’ at? 🙋🏼‍♀️

When I was a teenager, I used to go to parties (sorry mom) and have a blast. Except I would leave feeling heavy and emotionally exhausted. I had a tendency to open myself up to all of the vibes in the room and carry them with me when I left. Of course I didn’t understand what was happening until adulthood but it’s so very clear now. 

I am an empath. Through and through. 

Toss me into a room and I’ll feel allllllll of the highs and lows bouncing around. It is both my superpower and my greatest challenge. I’ve had to work hard at setting up boundaries and being aware of what I let in and how I carry it as I tend to carry the weight of the world on my 5,2” shoulders. I want everyone to be happy and to feel seen — for all the icky vibes to diminish leaving only good ones in their wake. 

But this is not reality. Life is not always peachy and so I’m constantly working at being okay if everything is not so ‘okay’ — allowing things to flow and heal in their own time. Allowing people to feel what they need to feel and not carrying the weight of it all into my personal life. It’s still a work in progress. Ha! 😅

I thank motherhood once again for helping me learn these things about myself and be willing to dive in and grow. 

What’s your super power? How does it serve you and how does it challenge you?

Do you ever feel like this is what shows on the ou Do you ever feel like this is what shows on the outside but what’s happening in the inside on a little more like: 😭🤯😜😅😎

This week has had a heaviness to it. So many conversations with friends have reiterated that. One minute I feel pretty good about things and the next I feel like I just need a good cry to release it all. Should I send this to my counsellor today before our session to prepare her? 😆 

But for real. I’m feeling like this platform needs some positivity and vulnerability so there it is. It’s okay if you’re having a hard time right now and it’s okay if your feelings are all over the place. You’re in good company. ✌🏻

Drop a few words below for where you’re at right now. 🤍
