One of the most resounding questions I get in my inbox everyday is how do I manage work , alongside two kids, my marriage , relationships … that it all looks seamless whilst the person writing to me feels like they’re drowning doing not enough. I put this out there this maternal mental health week to share that please don’t buy into the illusion that is social media. I have all the help in the world & even then I am overwhelmed everyday. Running a business alongside organising my children’s lives , taking out time to spend with my husband where we are not talking about our children alone , taking out time to spend with my Mother and loved ones is a challenge everyday. Motherhood is incredibly beautiful in moments but has unravelled me and boy is my nervous system dysregulated. It is both fearful and frustrating path to walk on especially in the early years when you’re trying to hold on to who you were whilst becoming a whole other person. It is true that alongside our children we are born anew too. I love both my babies for opening my heart and choosing me to be their Mama. They have both taught me more than anyone else ever has and I love them beyond belief. But boy have they also put me on a rollercoaster ride of self discovery & unlearning / relearning a kaleidoscope of habits and emotions. Here is me sharing this so next time you see “perfection” on your timeline know that behind the scenes there is so much struggle. I juggle many hats but then I equally have moments where it is all too much. This is not to mention all the things that we shall never share on social media but we deal with on a daily basis. A reminder to be kind as women to ourselves and in our judgement of other women trying their best. We all are icebergs holding so much under the surface than we allow others to see. Pat yourself on the back for making it all happen. Celebrate yourself the days you’re strong and the days you don’t want to so any of it. It’s okay to be both fragile and strong at the same time♥️
