Sometimes the village shows up in the most unexpected ways. 🧡
A sweet mama reached out to us recently, a stay at home mom, no car, but she had a heart full of generosity and items she wanted to pass on to mamas who could use them. Diapers, a bassinet, bottles, postpartum goodies. She said she'd been following us and loved our mission of moms helping moms — and this was her way of being part of it.
She asked if we could maybe swap some formula in return.
Girl. ABSOLUTELY. I will drive to you.
That's it. That's the whole story. That's why we do this.
No mama should have to figure out the fourth trimester alone, and no mama who wants to give back should have to wonder if there's a place for her to do that. That place is Wild Roots. That's what The Motherhood Lounge is for. That's what this village is.
Moms helping moms isn't just something we say. It's showing up in real life every single day in ways that never make it to a highlight reel...and honestly those are the moments I treasure the most.
This is what we're building. And I am so grateful for every single person who sees it and wants to be part of it. 🌿🧡
The heart of Wild Roots Birth Collective has always been building community for mothers and being the village....from day one... and i think it's safe to say we have done that! For the last 15 months, we've showed up for the community, we've showed up for the mama's, in birth, and in thousands of hours of postpartum, we've sat and rubbed feet, and shoulders, really listening, validating and wiping tears away, we supported these mamas during their most vulnerable time, making sure that they were nourished, the household chores were done, baby was taking care of, mama was able to get some self care in, she was able to rest and bond with the baby, because we were showing up in such a real way for her, in her life.
And now we built THE MOTHERHOOD LOUNGE, a physical space to house, the village we've created!! YOU ALL!! 🥰
It seriously brings me to tears.Thank you so much.... I am so thankful for all of you. For allowing us to show up in your lives like we have, for trusting us to support you, and for becoming a part of the Wild Roots, legacy and village!! So much love to you all! 🫶🥰
We are so thankful for you!! 🫶
