Before my baby was born, I was able to control almost every outcome in my life. I wanted to live in New York City, and I found a way to make it happen. I wanted to become a doctor, and I found a way to make it happen. If I wanted an absurdly expensive pair of shoes, I would find a way to make it happen! I learned that if I worked hard enough and dedicated myself completely, I could achieve it. But during my postpartum period, this motto and mindset failed me. Because I could not understand why no matter how hard I tried or how prepared I was, my postpartum expectations were not meeting my reality. It took shadow work and mindfulness practices to unfold my truth. Subconsciously, I was holding onto the vision that I had created around postpartum. It was as if I had a hand gripping with all its force to the motherhood expectations I had spent my lifetime envisioning. There was a weight and pressure I carried within my body as I refused to let that vision go. When I learned how to slowly open that grip, and gently release, everything became much lighter. It felt as if weight was removed from my body, and all my organs were finally relaxing, and then, I started loving everything about my postpartum. I want to teach people how to do this and I have become so passionate about guiding people to the postpartum of their dream, because I know it is possible. As an OBGYN nurse practitioner and lactation counselor, I also know that this teaching is missing in our medical system!
