Slowly finding our way back to selfcare and wellbeing rituals...

My baby turn 6 months tomorrow and I slowly start to feel like I can slowly but surely give a little bit of time here and there to this blog again and to what I want to do with it. I have been thinking of what to write about, and I am not an expert in any motherhood related topics, I am figuring out as I go, but before becoming a mum I was really into personal development, wellness etc. As the time goes by and little pockets of time free up a little bit more as baby grow and we get a little bit more confident in our parents roles, I thought about the direction I wanted to take this blog and what I do.

As you read I mainly do modelling and acting as a main job but it has been quite on pause with the odd job here and there because of pregnancy and (change in body shape probably as well) and just not many offers/ castings. As much as I want to continue to nourish those careers, I want to keep developping something where I have a little bit more of ownership and power over. Meaning: If I wish to work more I can, I don't have to wait on offers/ castings to work. So I looked at what else I was doing before pregnancy and that was life coaching. I had some paying clients for a while but I was struggling to spread the word about my practice as I was lacking a "niche" so it was hard to explain who and what I was coaching.

I am open to start coaching again at some point but before diving in into this I thought I could use my little experience as a first time mum trying to care for herself physically and mentally. I thought I would document a bit and maybe give ideas here and how to squeeze in (sometimes minutes) a semblant of what could help on the journey of rebuilding ourselves as women not just as mums.

I am definitely not a role model regarding "letting go" and taking care of myself, and when I write about it I feel icky. I have those little inner voices thinking "How can you make it about yourself again when you are a mum". Well, because for the last 6 months I gave and will still give my all to my little one, but now I can feel that my mind and my body as calling for some TLC (tender love and care).

So that is my objective, to share how I slowly get back on the selfcare for body and mind in my (still) postpartum period in the hopes that it will help other mums trying to do the same!
