The transition into motherhood is hard: it’s not just the sleepless nights or adjusting to your family’s needs, but the part where you have to relearn who you are as a woman. The woman you were before doesn’t get lost, she just evolves into something bigger. And here’s what nobody tells you: It takes a few years to feel normal again. And that’s okay.

As mamas we manage so much in our daily lives: from meals to kids’ pickups and drop offs, from dishes to the never-ending laundry. Everything except us gets put to the top of the priority list. But the reality is that none of it operates without you. Your health and wellness are imperative to your family’s wellness.
