When my mind is racing, filled with fears, can't sleep or catch a breath, this breathing technique is a quick tool that has helped me calm my mind to be able to think through whatever's happening in that moment, if anything at all.

The narrative I heard about pregnancy and having babies is "pregnancy is beautiful and glowing, you have a magical birth that may be tough, then you live happily ever after with your baby." Fast forward almost 6 years after having my first and I don't remember what I looked like before, what I used to do/like, or how much room I actually used to have in my house/shelves/fridge🤔.

What I wish I knew before pregnancy is how different my body will be and how to love and embrace my new self.

Hi fellow moms, parents, everyone! I know we haven't been as active on this page. Since the shutdowns, our original group that met every month had to cease all meetings. While we were hopeful the shut down would end as soon as it started, it didn't. There are no immediate plans for the group to return at the moment, though we miss connecting with other moms so much. We anticipate changes occurring within the group as time progresses.

While the group remains inactive for now, the podcast that stemmed from this group, "A Mother's Story", is coming back for more episodes after a longer-than-expected hiatus. I'm the host, Telly, and I've interviewed guests about their experience with a variety of issues surrounding parenthood, pregnancy and mental health. I'm ALWAYS looking for brave individuals to share their experience and/or expertise on anything surrounding motherhood, parenthood, and mental health. When I was deep in postpartum depression and anxiety, hearing others' stories helped me relate and break that barrier of isolation. My story is one of the first on the podcast channel, if you want to check it out.

Also, if you or someone you know is struggling with a mental health issue and need resources, please reach out! I have compiled a list of resources that will be posted as soon as it's ready.

Appreciate your love and support, as always, and remember that you're deserving of love
