I know what I would say if one of our 1:1 girls felt like this after giving birth. I’d tell her to be kinder to herself, to give herself and her body grace after bringing life into this world. That she has done the most incredible thing and recovery takes time.
I’d remind her that these feelings are valid but that they are also temporary. That she won’t feel this way forever. That she is not alone.
I’d tell her that together, we’d build up her strength again. That she’d be able to do what she used to before and more. That if she gave herself the time and the consistency, it will pay off.
I would say that yes, her goals feel so very far away right now and it’s overwhelming and in some ways feels impossible. I would gently let her know that they might feel like that for some time, until they’re not, and the progress starts becoming visible.
That this is where trusting the process matters most.
And finally I’d remind her that progress takes time, it’s not going to happen overnight.
But you know what?
That time is going to pass regardless.
So why not spend it trying.
Why not see what your body can do.
What your mind can do.
Why not?
So if you are feeling like I am right now, this one’s for you, for us, for any mama navigating new territory.
You are not alone and this is where we rebuild, in a way we never have had to before.
