Yesterday it hit me…
The tears came out of nowhere. Everything felt heavy.
And then I saw the amount of hair I’m losing this postpartum season… and that broke me a little.
To top it off, I had a sudden gush of blood (the cramps suddenly made sense), even though I wasn’t due for another week 🤦🏽♀️ But I had to pause and remind myself that this body is still learning, still healing, still recalibrating.
My hormones are in shock, and this… this is part of postpartum.
I’m learning that acknowledging it, accepting it, and understanding what my body is going through brings me back to centre. It helps me breathe again. And I also remind myself that letting these very real emotions out is healthy because holding them in only makes the weight heavier.
That clump (times three) is how much hair I’m losing daily.
Yesterday it made me feel exposed, unsettled, and deeply vulnerable…like I’m watching pieces of myself fall away while I’m still trying to find my footing again.
But I’m choosing grace. I’m choosing patience. And I’m choosing to believe that healing isn’t linear and neither is growth.
If you’re in your postpartum era, your healing era, or your trying-to-glow-while-still-surviving era… you’re not alone 😌
Let’s grow, glow and get through it together! 🫶🏽
