Open Mind, Open Heart
Throughout your motherhood journey, I cannot stress enough to keep an open mind and open heart. During each of my prenatal and postnatal yoga classes each student has the opportunity to share a little bit, or a lot. This is not something that is forced but happens naturally. After a few classes and a few familiar faces, people start to open up.
You don’t know who struggled with fertility and/or loss.
You don’t know if that mom who came in late just got into a fight with her partner, is sleep deprived and crying her eyes out because her baby won’t sleep.
You don’t know who is struggling to breastfeed.
You don’t know if the pregnancy was planned.
You don’t know if parenting has triggered past traumas.
You just never know what another fellow mom/caregiver is going through.
Don’t assume.
Don’t fix.
Don’t judge.
Keep an open mind and open heart.
“We’re all just walking each other home.”
