Well, Tiff and I have thought a lot about this actually and we started making life notes to our future selves. Our Grandma selves (whom we affectionally call Mor Mor and Honey) so we will remember the kind of help that might be helpful and how it feels to be on this side of the equation. The overwhelmed, exhausted, just trying to figure it all out side.
This episode isn't just about how to support a post-partum momma coming home with her first brand new baby...but our seasoned momma friends too...who need support too, even if they look like they have it all figured out! Maybe especially if they look like they have it all figured out...because none of us do. And ALLL of us could benefit from being cared for in special ways.
More than anything I think we all need support, especially in big transitions.
And while this title is the Proper Care and Feeding of a new mom...this episode ins't just to inspire you to support others, but it's for our expectant mommas too This is not only for you to hear and support other mommas, but to hear and try on ways that YOU might need support because when people ask, "what do you need/how can I help you/let me know if you need anything" it's really hard to say...I want a live-in nanny that speaks two languages, loves to cook, and isn't overbearing. She needs to be free, love Starbucks and thrive on cleaning and scouring bathrooms.
So since that isn't likely on the table of options...here are some ideas!
If you know a post-partum momma, or you ARE a post-partum momma, we have a beautiful resource for you to get your groove back even sooner. The Deliberate Day planner is a 12-week printable planner that will ground and structure your day within the chaos of transition. It's going to remind you to choose yourself so you don't get lost in to-dos or other's needs.
