This year, I'm not just a mother's child, but a mother. 🤍

First-time motherhood, love, fatigue, anxiety, sleep deprivation, and learning something new every day.

From the day the boss was in the stomach to the day the little guy came to embrace.

Just seeing you smile, seeing you slowly grow from milk to your first meal.# When I was a mother

I'm probably a rookie mom who's not good at everything yet.

But I promise to be my best mother every day.

Happy, our first Mother's Day. 👩🏻‍🍼💙

From "mother's child" to "master's mother." 🌷

... Read moreการเป็นแม่มือใหม่นั้นเป็นช่วงเวลาที่เต็มไปด้วยความเปลี่ยนแปลงหลากหลายทั้งร่างกายและจิตใจ ที่ฉันได้สัมผัสอย่างลึกซึ้งคือความรักที่ไม่มีเงื่อนไขที่มีต่อลูก เลี้ยงดูลูกน้อยตั้งแต่ช่วงตั้งครรภ์ ทำให้รู้สึกผูกพันและห่วงใยอย่างมากเมื่อเจ้าตัวเล็กค่อย ๆ เติบโตขึ้นทุกวัน นอกจากความรู้สึกดี ๆ แล้ว ความเหนื่อยจากการอดหลับอดนอนก็เป็นเรื่องที่แทบทุกแม่มือใหม่ต้องผ่าน แต่สิ่งเหล่านี้กลับกลายเป็นความทรงจำที่มีคุณค่า เพราะทุกครั้งที่ลูกยิ้ม หรือลองกินข้าวเองครั้งแรก มันทำให้ความเหนื่อยล้าหายไปหมด สิ่งที่ฉันเรียนรู้ในการเป็นแม่ครั้งแรกคือการเปิดใจพร้อมรับการเปลี่ยนแปลงและการเรียนรู้สิ่งใหม่ ๆ เสมอ ไม่ว่าจะเป็นการดูแลสุขภาพลูก การให้นม หรือแม้แต่การคอยสังเกตพัฒนาการของลูก เพื่อให้เขาเติบโตอย่างมีสุขภาพดีและมีความสุข ฉันอยากให้ทุกคนที่กำลังเป็นแม่มือใหม่รับรู้ว่าความรักและความตั้งใจจริงในการเลี้ยงดูเป็นสิ่งสำคัญ แม้ว่าจะยังไม่เก่งทุกอย่าง แต่เพียงความใส่ใจและความพยายามอย่างต่อเนื่อง ก็เพียงพอที่จะทำให้ลูกเติบโตอย่างเข้มแข็งและมีความสุขได้ ท้ายที่สุด การเป็นแม่ไม่ใช่เรื่องง่าย แต่เป็นบทบาทที่สวยงามที่สุดที่ฉันได้มอบให้กับเจ้าตัวน้อย และในวันแม่ปีนี้ ฉันภูมิใจที่ไม่ใช่แค่เป็นลูกของแม่ แต่ได้เป็นแม่ของใครคนหนึ่งแล้วจริง ๆ

Mother wounds are hard to talk about! 🌸🍋✨
The mother wound is simultaneously the most common thing I see in my work and the least commonly talked about. Because how do you grieve someone who is still alive? How do you name a pain that doesn’t always have an obvious story attached to it? How do you explain that your mom “wasn’t that bad

A straw hat and inflatable raft float on a swimming pool, with text overlay introducing "The Mother Wound & Its Impact on Your Identity" and stating that a fractured mirror led to piecing oneself together through pain.
Over a swimming pool scene, text defines "What is the Mother Wound?" as emotional, energetic, or ancestral pain from the maternal line, listing examples like absence, criticism, enmeshment, and generational silence.
A swimming pool background features text explaining "How It Shapes Identity" due to the Mother Wound, listing effects such as feeling "not enough," seeking external validation, fearing emotional expression, and confusion about feminine energy.
The Mother Wound & It's Impact on Your Identity
The Mother Wound can silently shape everything— How you love. How you trust. How you see yourself. It’s not just about your relationship with your mother… It’s about how her pain became part of your identity. And how now—you get to alchemize it into power. 🌹 This post is for the daughter

A message from a mother-in-law….
When your kids get married, it is not about their spouse entering the family and conforming. It is about two adults building their own family. And I’m saying this as a mother-in-law. When my children got married, I had a choice to make. I could cling to control…or grow into my new role.

A Mother’s Love Shapes a Life 👶🏽✨
From the very first breath… a mother’s love begins to shape her child’s world. 🤍 In the quiet moments, the sleepless nights, and the gentle care— she is building something far greater than she can see. 💫 Love him when he cries. Guide him when he grows. Pray for him when you feel unsure. 🙏🏽
