Yet, this transition is rarely given the space or recognition it truly deserves. Instead, we’re asked how quickly we can “bounce back” or what parts of ourselves we’ve “lost.”
And that change isn’t something to fear or fix—it’s something to honour.
Because becoming a parent isn’t just about raising a baby. It’s about raising yourself—into someone softer, stronger, and forever changed.

You snap over small things.
You cry without knowing why.
You’re bone-tired, and yet your mind won’t stop racing.
You miss your old life, your partner, your sense of self—and you don’t know how to say that out loud.
