Thanks for the invitation to write, Jenna. It helped to put some of my tangled thoughts into words. And I loved reading your reflections. Our steady presence really is everything 💛
I so enjoyed reading your words Sarah, and I'm so glad that reflecting on the questions helped untangle your thoughts too. Gosh it really is, thank you for putting that into words - you know especially on the rough days, that reminder is so powerful. X
Finally getting round to sending my love for this beautiful interview, thank you both. I too relate to hoping that I am a steady presence, I do feel that being ‘home’ for our children is really important. Although it is not always an obvious aspect to the outside world, it requires holding so much xx
Thank you, Lyndsay. Reading these words again was just what I needed tonight so I appreciate the comment and reminder. And, yes, being ‘home’ for our wee ones matters so much 💛
Thank you for your lovely comment Lyndsay - I completely agree, that phrase 'steady presence' has really stuck with me. Something that we are everyday as mums, but we don't think about it. Just being there and them knowing that we are there for them is everything really isn't it.
Thank you for sharing your story, Sarah. My heart aches in recognition for you, having journeyed through seven years of infertility and loss myself before the arrival of our miracle boy. I also relate to the fourth trimester creative surge! A fascinating and enriching experience.🥰
Thank you, Jen. Each time I open up it brings me closer to those who have experienced the same sadness and longing and, somehow, closer to myself. How old is your son? Lowen has just turned one and I still can’t quite believe he’s here and he’s ours 💛
Benji has also just turned one! Sounds like our journeys ran parallel. ❤️ And I completely relate to that feeling. I often just watch him and think “I can’t believe you’re real”. I’m overwhelmed with gratitude that we get to experience all the ups and downs of parenthood. It is beyond what I could have imagined.
Such a beautiful exploration Sarah, thank you for sharing your story here, much I can resonate with, especially that ‘need’ to write after the fourth trimester. I felt that deeply. Thank you for bringing this all her both of you. Xx
So glad you enjoyed this interview Lauren and that you could relate to Sarah's words. Yes, the creative surge, so amazing to have that kind of fountain of creativity to draw on, especially at a time when things feel so unsettled too. The creative surge almost grounds you and helps you remember you.
Thanks, Lauren. Yes, I seem to remember mentioning my fourth trimester surge to you. It was a strangely creative and energetic time despite surviving on such little sleep! Since then, I’ve been exhausted, but I can feel that vibrancy slowly returning ☺️💛

Love this. Here’s to remembering ourselves ☺️

I feel like we are in similar seasons! X
