| Amazing Moms-To-Be, I am thinking of the great value I get from my fellow mothers. I am talking about the women I have met since I had my little boy - whether from my brand new mommy days or more recently through meeting mothers at Matt's preschool. These women are a constant source of support, information and friendship. I couldn't do it without these women!  Every mother needs support, but it is especially vital as you prepare
for a new baby and in the first year as a new mother. This week's topic
is Finding Your New Tribe. Scroll down to Your Coaching Moment to consider how you might create a vital network as a new mother.
All the best from your coach,
A few folks from my tribe after Matt was born!

Finding Your New Tribe No one else can understand you quite like another mother experiencing what you are experiencing. I will never forget my first meeting with a local group called PEP (Postpartum Education for Parents). It is a volunteer organized association that gathers up new moms and sets up a support group that meets once a week. I showed up with my little guy Matthew when he was about 5 weeks old. I immediately felt like I belonged as I looked around at 20 other mothers with sleeping, crying, pooping, nursing babies. We talked, shared and laughed. It was one of the THE best things I did for myself as a new mother. As a new mother, you will NEED support. You will need understanding. You will need to know that you are not alone, that everything you feel is normal and that you will grow and learn as quickly as your baby. It doesn't matter where or how you find your tribe, just that you do. Here are a few ideas from some of our mothers:
COACH YOURSELF: Commit to finding your tribe now! Start exploring what might work for you & make sure that you meet with other new mothers soon after your baby arrives. Email me at amy@empoweredmotherhood.com and share your plan. And click here to see our newsletter archive. |
