From Hero to Heroine: Postpartum Thriving in a Crazy World

Pregnancy is such a powerful experience and one that is highly celebrated in our culture. Because of this, new mothers often devote all their energy to preparing for the physical act of birth and the impending arrival of a new baby.

The birth plan has been perfected, the nursery is furnished and decorated and the new onesies have been washed and folded. But the act of becoming a mother is often taken for granted… it’s an afterthought.

The truth is that when a baby is born, a mother is born, too... and no change is greater than the transition to motherhood. And while this deep transformation into motherhood is a beautiful thing, it comes with many potential obstacles and definite challenges.

With a basic map and some support, navigating the broken waters of your early months with your baby can be more magical – and a lot less scary. While we do need specific knowledge as moms, there are also many key elements we can learn that, once learned, allow us to shift our paradigm and access our own inner knowing. Whether we like it or not, it is during this time that our identity shifts. How we experience postpartum matters.
