Parent Coaching
When my first child was born, I had just moved 3000 miles away from my family and friends. A woman who I had only known during my pregnancy came to visit me while I was still recovering from the birth. She brought me a gift. Me. “For the mama”, she said. “Everyone brings gifts for the baby and forgets about the mama.”
Now imagine that for a moment. Feel the weight of it. Imagine receiving a gift for your work as a parent. How does that feel? I felt loved, I cried...she had no idea how badly I needed that.
In spite of her kindness and what, in hindsight, seemed like clear instructions to honor myself, I spent many years forgetting about myself, the mama…
My experience is only one manifestation of a parental journey. We all have different circumstances that brought us to the point where we became parents. But our struggles are often the same. And internal struggles began showing up as we stepped into parenting in ways we could not have foreseen.
Parenting is rich and beautiful and joyful, and frustrating and exhausting. We love spending time with our children. We want to help them become the best that they can be. We have a vision.
But…You feel overwhelmed ...and feel like you should have it all figured out...that you should not need help.You look around, comparing yourself to other parents who seem to have it all together, gracefully.
​
Please resist that comparison. Every mama has hard days, hard moments and makes parenting mistakes.
