Reconnecting with the things that make you you—books, music, painting, running—isn’t indulgent. It’s what helps you feel whole again.

When reality doesn't match the beautiful, calm vision you had (birth, feeding, etc.), that grief over the lost plan is real.
You are resilient.
The real parenthood moment is right now, in the imperfect reality you've created.

There’s no deadline to feel better. No shame in still struggling. No shame in surviving however you need to.
Healing isn’t linear, it’s human.

You are not your thoughts. You are a loving parent with a brain on high alert.
