I’m a life coach, twin mom, blogger, and podcaster,
committed to help every MoM thrive in her motherhood
With babies in the NICU and a wife in the ICU, my sweet husband went home from the hospital alone on the day his sons were born.
Three weeks later, the twins graduated from the NICU and came home to two very inexperienced parents.
I remember looking in the mirror of my bathroom, myself and the babies the only ones home, and thinking,
“No one is coming to save me. I am mom now.”
Luckily, that realization empowered me to not sink into a pit of self-pity but gave me the strength to keep moving forward.
Looking back on those precious first few years, this is the advice that I would give myself.
I would tell myself daily that I’m doing a good job and that motherhood is a learning process.
I would give myself tons of grace to find the flow that my babies and I needed to go throughout our day stress-free.
I would not put so much pressure on myself to stick to the boys’ schedule.
I would build my confidence daily by reminding myself of the small wins that I had each day.
I would stay in control of my time and not blame my kids when I didn’t take time for myself.
I would remember that I choose motherhood each day, so I might as well find ways to enjoy it more fully.
I would decrease my exhaustion by being compassionate with myself as I developed as a mom.
I would eliminate mom guilt by being confident in my decisions, knowing that I can always go back and make adjustments.
Experience it how you want to. Thrive in your motherhood. When mom thrives, her kids thrive too.
