It's not quite the whole truth... Let me explain:

You are not crazy. It’s NOT all in your head. You know you, inside and out. You are your own guru. It doesn’t matter that the “white coats” take your blood, determine “all is normal”, send you home with a prescription for Prozac to be filled immediately, plus some sleeping pills to “quiet your mind”. You’re being gaslit. You’re being told “it’s all in your head.” I know you know. You know you know!

The effect of gaslighting → the truth becomes the LIE you’re telling yourself so you feel better about WHAT IS right now.

I know my children. And, I know you KNOW your children. And, this crazy world has, for millennia, trained and coerced mothers to beLIEve they don’t KNOW their children. AND moreso, you’ve been hypnotized into believing it MAY all be in your head. What I’m trying to say is that mothers have been gaslit and manipulated away from their true, natural, Divinely given instincts aka SUPER powers!

Here is a woman, a mother, a midwife, a doula, describing her experience in the hospital. (I apologize if her swearing offends you – so if you don’t want your children to hear swearing, just know towards the middle to end, she uses some profanity.)

The problem with everyone gaslighting mothers - “experts” in all fields, doctors, nurses, teachers, parents, grandparents, ego-driven know-it-alls, not-so-well-meaning-”friends”, and so on – is that this barrage of disempowerment has weakened our core authenticity and inner strength; I will call it our core divinity given to us from the Divine.

Look to the animal world for the truth we need to get back to. I’m not saying we need to be animals and give up modern conveniences BUT there are so many examples:

• A mother lion resting for LONG periods with her cubs AND she hunts prey!
• Mother animals NOT leaving their babies at all, except for food gathering (do you have a husband? A partner? A family? To bring you food? Uber..?)
• There is no “cry it out” in the animal kingdom!!
• There is no “sleep over there is a cold crib with an electronic monitor, no blankets, nothing of comfort!!
• The mom consumes the placenta → the placenta of a VEGAN literally falls apart when held up. A full-grown, nutritionally dense placenta that provides well for your baby is dense, solid and a huge source of nutrition. If you can’t stomach it, then eat cow liver…
• And so many more…

Are you constantly worried and anxious about your baby's well-being, leaving you no time to focus on your own health? YOUR core nutritional health is foundational AND is dependent on how you manage your emotional health. Take it from me! It’s why my hair started to GREY at 19 years old! Now it’s pure white and I’ve only recently hit my 50’s.

Your heightened anxiety WILL cost you future peace of mind, good sleep, and your ability to fully enjoy your new role as a mom. If you continue down this ongoing cycle of worry that leaves you exhausted and unhappy, your body will be left super vulnerable for slow, methodical depletion which will possibly push you towards getting sick more often without your body defenses up.

Imagine waking up each morning feeling calm and confident, ready to embrace the day with your baby, free from this exhaustive cycle of constant worry - which at its core is the ignoring of your true mother instincts, your super powers. You must begin to understand and address your postpartum nutritional needs AND your deep emotional needs.

Centering on this, I can help you get the energy and mental clarity you need in order to focus on both your baby and yourself. DM me if you're ready to step into this peaceful, balanced version of motherhood!
