I can’t believe that Jett is already two weeks old. He’s nursing and napping and yelling when he WANTS to nurse and is overall teaching me a new level of what it means to be a boss and how much more capacity I have to love. #wholenewappreciationofabundance
If I’m totally honest with you, giving birth to Jett was the hardest thing I’ve ever done. In my entire life. Yes, I survived law school and I built a seven figure business from scratch and I have had TWO OTHER BABIES and I’m telling you…giving birth to this baby was a whole other level of difficult.
During labor, I saw something in myself that blew me away. It became so difficult that I wasn’t sure I was going to survive. I was ready to say, I can’t do this. I’m not strong enough. This has to stop.
And then I heard a voice inside my head and it was like a stronger, calmer, more badass version of myself and she reminded me that there is nothing, nothing, I can’t do. And that I’ve never backed down from a challenge before. I realized that the only way forward was to lean into the discomfort. To accept the challenge without fear. And so I did. I found a way to go deep into my mind to find peace, focus and strength.
I saw all that I was capable of. And it was so much more than I could have imagined. It’s given me a whole new perspective on my life, my business, my family, and my potential. If I can do something that difficult, what else can I do? In what ways have I been holding myself back from the things that scare me? That feel too difficult? Or impossible?
Women are extraordinarily powerful beings. And yes, that includes you! Not only are we wise, and nurturing and ambitious and strategic, we also can use our incredible bodies to create new life! That is some powerful creative energy. What could you accomplish if we tried? Or maybe I should be asking: what couldn’t you accomplish if you tried?
