Society Sold Us A Lie - Jessica K Coaching

written by MumsThatThrive

Hey mama…

Why do we feel the need to hide the fact that we aren’t doing ok as new mums?

Suffer in silence? …

We are conditioned to believe that we are machines and we can do it all…

The truth is, we can’t.

Society sold us a lie, and for new mums this is a big damn slap in the face

Theres this expectation that when we give birth we just continue on like nothing ever happened…

😳

We should be able to do all the things – cook, clean, mother, have sex, look sexy, get out “pre baby body” back and just slip back into our careers like nothing has changed. We need to stop this cycle of endless burnout and overwhelm and start mothering the mothers.

🙏🏻

We grind until the end of the day when we collapse and then numb out in front of Netflix with some mindless entertainment, or chocolate, or wine. We ignore our unhappiness, our anxiety and just push all the emotions down…. because this too shall pass right?

Spoiler alert- no it wont.

🙅🏻‍♀️

Mothers need to be seen, heard, nurtured and held through this monumental change, just as their babies are. Becoming a mother is the greatest self-development teacher in the world

🌟

We can either let us break us, or we can surrender to this opportunity to re-invent ourselves and look inward. It’s time for change.

Are you with me?
