Entry 001

Take down, wash, blow dry, re-braid. No tears.

Everything is art.

The observer and the expresser. Can you guess who’s who?

“He’s brown like me.”

The moment.

✨Just when I thought I was entering my wise, Claire Huxtable era, I’m being met with another season of becoming; another era of growth, change, and alchemy.

I thought the table was set, yet, I find myself picking up the dishes from the floor.

I find myself digging deep into the junk of life, processing it, and choosing all over again what serves me, what doesn’t, what to keep, and what to release.

With my official countdown to 40 underway, I suppose much of this is to be expected. There is one more big hill to climb and a few more major things to digest before I step into the next version of myself.

She’s tired, but she’s ready.

Have you felt like this lately?

Xo,

🤍Mom to mom:

Motherhood required you to be hyper-vigilant. Your corporate job doesn’t.

Be careful not to jump to the rescue every time you receive a request or new meeting notification like it’s a crying newborn or a toddler in the middle of a meltdown.

Parenting taught our brains to “stay ready” or remain in a state of high alert to manage constant chaos, and SAHM life is a whole other can of worms.

When returning to work, it’s easy to copy-paste that “mama-hyper-vigilance” onto deadlines and emails.

But we have to remember: corporate tasks rarely carry real-life urgency. Let your nervous system take a breath. 🧘🏽‍♀️

So, today, if you find yourself hunched over that laptop typing like your life depends on it 👉🏽take a beat, step out of survival-mode, then respond.

You’re doing a great job, mama. 🫶🏽 taken in Motherhood by @brookeslade

Mamas literally do it all 🫶🏽

Excited for this new chapter. Mamas who are returning to work after a stay at home chapter, I see you. I spent 6 years at home with my babies, I soaked it all in — the good, the chaotic, the messy, the joyful— and now I’m excited to dive into this new chapter for me🤍 taken in Motherhood by @brookeslade

✨The world will tell you a lot about how you’re supposed to feel about yourself, especially as a woman and a mom. It’s important that you don’t listen. It’s important that you do the work, no matter how long it takes, to undo what the world has taught you, to love yourself wholly and unapologetically in the one, beautiful, strong and capable body that you have.🤍 by @brookeslade
