Motherhood is a dismantling.
When you face comments and criticism for your birth choices - this is preparing you for defending your child against the world. For trusting your intuition and your wisdom.
For saying actually, you know best. From the beginning.
Are you the highest authority over your body and baby?
Will you make that known from the start?
Will you teach that to your children?
When you feel like the baby will never come, again you are asking to surrender, to let go of control.
When you hand it over to your child's timeline, passing along trust and acceptance of the unknown.
When you mother that tiny baby and face again the questions and the comments, how has your preparation led you to manage this moment?
Will you take that deep self-love and acceptance of yourself and gift that to your child?
Knowing that openly living your values is threatening to others.
Soon you will realise you are being taken apart, piece by piece, and rebuilt as the mother you were born to be.
And each challenge will take you deeper.
