Pulse Check Mondays

Happy Inaugural Pulse Check Monday!

When it comes to leaning on others for support, my go to person is my husband, Tim. After all, the person that you share your home/parenting responsibilities with will understand what you’re experiencing the best. A delirious laughing fit over a cup of coffee in the earliest moments of parenthood are so, so good for the soul.

I also tend to lean on my friends who are in the postpartum/motherhood season with me. If you’re the first person in your friend group to have a baby, it can feel a bit lonely confiding in your friends who can’t relate to what you’re going through. In that case, a family member, co-worker, or neighbor friend who has kids may be best to open up to!

To do: set a reminder in your phone to call or text a loved one and share the motherhood load with them this week.
