Hey There Soft Life Mamas
I’m Char, the blogger! Thanks for stopping by to learn a little more about me. I started a journey on social media in 2014 prior to graduating high school. However, entering motherhood I realized I wasn’t up for spending long days in the office, and only being a night-time nurturer. I wanted to watch my son grow up without missing a single milestone. I knew then that I needed to take my content more seriously. I was introduced to motherhood by caring for a colicky baby, barely getting any sleep, and in need of mommy support or like-minded mommy friends. I am living proof that motherhood should never be done alone. On top of this, I suffered from postpartum anxiety, depression, and hair loss. But, I was determined not to let my son suffer through it too. I did my best to breastfeed, puree organic foods, and made sure he met his developmental milestones. However, I was still in need of an outlet to express my struggles and accomplishments as a new mother and to share my motherhood journey. This space is dedicated to inspiring millennial women & navigating Motherhood, I hope you’ll stay awhile and invite a few other mamas to join you too!
LOVE AND LIFE
I have a sweet and compassionate fiancé who brings so much light into the world. We’ve been together since 2021 and together we have a son who I gave birth to in August of 2022. His entrance into the world instantly changed everything I thought I knew about myself. The moment he was born, It was the birth of a new era for me as a woman and I watched myself transform in a matter of hours. There is nothing better than the love I get to share with these two.
IS THIS BLOG FOR YOU?
IF THIS SOUNDS LIKE YOU, THIS BLOG IS YOUR Sanctuary FOR A SELF-CARE REMINDER
Is this you…
- Guilt creeps in when you dare to prioritize yourself; you’re convinced it’s a luxury reserved for the “deserving.”
- The weight of not having “earned” this nurturing time bears down on you.
If you found yourself nodding along to these sentiments, I’ve walked the same path. I’ve danced with these doubts. But then, a realization dawned…
- You can’t give from an empty cup. It’s a universal truth. Prioritizing your well-being as a mom, positions you to radiate positivity and support your entire family.
- mama’s we have earned our self-care. Bringing a life into this world and then being the foundation for the family is well deserving of nurturing yourself.
- Release the notion of needing an hour, an extravagant span of time for self-care. It’s not about quantity; it’s about intention. Five minutes spent to fix yourself up before the day begins is self-care. Saying “no” to one thing that overloads your plate – that’s self-care too. It’s a myriad of moments woven into your day.
Together, let’s unveil the magic of self-care, not as an extraneous luxury, but as an essential ingredient to a fulfilling life. Your well-being matters, and it’s time to rewrite your story, one nurturing act at a time.
