I call postpartum a “pressure cooker” because I call postpartum a “pressure cooker” because it has a unique way of bringing matters to the surface. ⁣ ⁣ This can look like when you add a baby to the family and all of a sudden:⁣ ⁣ •you’re having mood swings⁣ ⁣ •you’re anxious about the baby’s sleeping habits or feeding habits⁣ ⁣ •you’re on sensory overload with your older children⁣ ⁣ •you’re fighting more with your partner & the communication struggle is real⁣ ⁣ •you’re not sure what “self-care” looks like or what you enjoy doing anymore ⁣ ⁣ We can find ourselves asking why on some days it feels like it’s all going wrong postpartum. But really, the stress and demand (pressure cooker) of postpartum can bring matters in our lives to the surface. 🌊⁣ ⁣ The anxiety or mood swings can actually be caused by postpartum nutrient deficiencies. ⁣ ⁣ Those communication issues with a partner may be highlighting areas where we can grow in our relationship. ⁣ ⁣ That confusion about self-care can be an invitation to more self-discovery in a new season.⁣ ⁣ Is the postpartum pressure cooker challenging and frustrating? It can be! ⁣ ⁣ But it can also be a great opportunity to find the areas in our lives that need replenishing, support and extra care. ⁣ ⁣ And the end result is a more vibrant life & strengthened relationships with God, our families, friends and ourselves. 🌿⁣ ⁣ We don’t have to just survive the pressure cooker. We get to use it to our advantage!
Some dear friends gifted me this starter kit for m Some dear friends gifted me this starter kit for my baby shower with Jubilee. 💕⁣ ⁣ It’s been so helpful to have essential oils as part of pregnancy and postpartum journey. I even had a blend all ready for labor, but by the time I realized I was actually IN labor, it was almost over. I ran out of time to use it. 🤣⁣ ⁣ But on a day like today, when I’m tired and moving through some anxious thoughts... and the baby is tired and teething and fussy... I was so thankful to change the atmosphere with “peace and calming” in the diffuser and worship music.⁣ ⁣ Article coming soon about how to shift the mood when it’s one of those days, and you’re struggling. We all have them. But I’ve found that having a list of ideas of how to shift things ahead of time has made a huge difference this postpartum. 💫
Happy Father’s Day to Chris! We are such blesse Happy Father’s Day to Chris! We are such blessed girls to have this guy in our family. He’s the perfect blend of courage, compassion and a whole lot of fun! Brielle loves to have “father-daughter time”- she was calling it that starting from when she was just learning to talk! And both girls love snuggle time with him and his “Elmo” voice 😁 📷 @kohoeimages
Postpartum mommas have a special place in my heart Postpartum mommas have a special place in my heart ❤️ ⁣ ⁣ After having a traumatic postpartum with my first baby, I made it my mission to figure out how to support other postpartum mommas. I want to see women flourish after they have a baby, not just survive. ⁣ ⁣ I spent the last few years reflecting on my own experience and studying the unique complexities of postpartum. Then I came up with a framework to guide my clients through their postpartum time with more peace, joy and fulfillment. ⁣ ⁣ I breakdown that method in my latest article “What I Wish I Knew About Postpartum Part 2.”⁣ ⁣ Here’s a snapshot:⁣ The PEACE Method⁣ P- Practical Needs & Support System 📝⁣ E- Emotional Wellness 💜⁣ A- Abundance through God’s Presence & Spiritual Principles ✨⁣ C- Confidence in Your Unique Way of Mothering 💁🏻‍♀️⁣ E- Expectations that are Life-Giving and Full of Grace 🪴⁣ ⁣ See the article linked in my bio where I explain it all! ⁣ I’ve had the opportunity during this current postpartum season with Jubilee to take my own PEACE method approach for a test drive. I’ve felt stretched during these last few months in new ways. And the PEACE method has helped me stay grounded while growing and take the new challenges in stride. ⁣ ⁣ All of that to say, I’m really excited to support my fellow postpartum mommas to see them flourish whether it’s through my free resources, my 1 hour pregnancy/postpartum coaching sessions or 3 month nutritional therapy package. ⁣ ⁣ And I’m dreaming about all the possibilities for a PEACE method e-course that I hope to start working on soon! 💕
Over the years, as I’ve prayed with pregnant mom Over the years, as I’ve prayed with pregnant mommas about their upcoming births, I’ve felt a tension. It’s a beautiful thing to dream, hope and pray about birth- when, where and how it will unfold. ⁣ ⁣ But I want more for them. I feel like the tendency we have to focus on how we want birth to play out can lead to some serious heartbreak if it doesn’t unfold exactly that way. ⁣ ⁣ With that in mind, I collaborated with my friend @jennydonnelly on The Victorious Birth course. We actually pioneered the course last spring at the beginning of the pandemic. It was a time of urgency when it seemed many mommas’ hopes and dreams for their births were being upended. ⁣ ⁣ We want to empower women to give birth from a place of God’s promise of rest and His presence. Instead of being at the mercy of a birth going according to plan, we want to equip women to experience His joy and peace no matter what type of birth they are having. ⁣ ⁣ We talk about developing a victorious birth mindset, letting go of fears about birth, how to navigate contractions from a place of rest and the practicals of labor and delivery. ⁣ ⁣ And there’s something really special about this course... Few birth courses talk about what to expect AFTER birth. We have a session all about postpartum, which many women say they wish they’d known more about ahead of time. ⁣ ⁣ The course is $100 off through the weekend with the code: MOM100.

“Grace will meet you there.” That’s the phra “Grace will meet you there.” That’s the phrase I recently felt the Holy Spirit whisper to my heart. ⁣ ⁣ I’m so grateful that this postpartum with Jubilee, who is now 3.5 months old, has been really great overall. Not a day goes by that I take that for granted after struggling so much the first time around. ⁣ ⁣ Interestingly, it’s been challenging this time but in a different way. It’s been a busy season at home and in ministry. ⁣ ⁣ Chris is at the helm of some really great developments with Compassion to Action, and I’m so proud of him. As he returned to traveling last month, I came back from maternity leave to my nutritional therapy practice where I help moms flourish in their health. ⁣ ⁣ Those transitions combined with adjusting to mothering 2 children had me feeling the growing pains of my capacity being expanded. I felt the temptation to feel overwhelmed.⁣ ⁣ And then I heard Him promise that “grace will meet me there.” I can’t dwell on tomorrow with today’s measure of grace. But I can trust that He’s working behind the scenes on my behalf. He’s made it abundantly clear, even in the smallest of ways, that He sees me. And I believe He’s already dispatched the grace I need as I move forward into more of what He’s called me to.
