Nine months into motherhood and I'm finally coming up for air. Postpartum stripped away my expectations, my old identity, and any illusion that I had it all figured out. What it gave me in return?

At times where my 9-5 became too much, it felt good to remind myself that I can slow down when I need to. So often we forget to take care of ourselves and give our mind, body, and soul the proper nourishment that they need. Living slowly has led me to be more gentle with myself and the world around me.
