WHAT HAS MOTHERHOOD CHANGED ABOUT ME?

I would say it has awakened many parts of myself, the protective innate nature I feel over my babies like a lioness to her cub. The desire to continue healing myself and relationships around me for my own children's future and capacity to navigate relationships healthily. Wanting to love myself deeply, cherishing my body that grew these beautiful beings, showing that if I love myself and feel worthy of my own love; that my kids are loving and deserving of the same love. Thinking twice about everything, I think becoming a mother has made me more intuitive. You realize everything affects them beyond what you imagined only affected you. I am learning to trust my instincts and want nothing but positive energy around me and my kids. A new profound sense of community amongst mothers, I value the mom friendships I have made, it is truly like a club you join the moment you become a mother. There is a level of non-judgement, empathy, and support from other moms and I too look at them with light and grace. I'm sure more change is to come and I am excited to recognize and move through this journey.
