Motherhood from my 20s to my 30s
Hey friends! I’m Jess a wife of 10 years, mom of 2 very eccentric boys, faith lover, and life explorer (even if it’s just on my couch working on my next book 😅) Sharing my journey from being a young mama to embracing motherhood in my 30s.
Yes, I wrote a book about my journey (that’s another post for another day lol) but I don’t really share it. Its not a “I don’t wanna be judged” thing, it’s just that I know there’s a lot of moms like me who don’t have girlfriends or simply likeminded moms who get what it’s like to need someone to tell you “I get you.”
Plus, I felt it was time to share my real life, growth, and a little pre-pregnancy prep sprinkled in ✨🤭. Yep! I’m trying for a baby in my 30s!! I’m so excited. Anyway welcome to my diary 😊
Reflecting on my experience as a mom through my 20s into my 30s, I've realized how much motherhood evolves alongside us. In my 20s, the focus was on learning the basics—navigating sleepless nights, frantic diaper changes, and the overwhelming joy that comes with a new baby. Those early years are a blur of exhaustion but filled with unforgettable moments that teach resilience and unconditional love. Now, in my 30s, things feel different. There’s more confidence and a deeper understanding of who I am as a mother and as a person. I'm more intentional about self-care and mental wellness, which I believe is crucial for any mom. It’s important to find your tribe—whether that’s other moms who get the unique challenges and joys you face or simply a support system that says, "I get you." Preparing for another baby in my 30s is both exciting and a bit daunting. I've been focusing on pre-pregnancy prep, such as improving my nutrition, staying active, and paying attention to my mental health. It’s a holistic approach that feels different from my first pregnancies. I also lean heavily on my faith and life experiences to ground me as I anticipate this new chapter. For any mom out there transitioning through these stages, remember that motherhood is not a one-size-fits-all experience. Embrace your unique journey, share your story, and don’t hesitate to seek connection with like-minded women who understand the rollercoaster ride. Whether you're a young mama or embracing motherhood in your 30s, every phase brings its own beauty and growth opportunities.
