The Village
Only a mom can understand the absurdity and the profoundness of the above statement. When a child is born, a mother is born too. Many a times when we look back at the person we were before we became a mother, we barely recognise that woman. Not just physically but from every other aspect. We are suddenly a new person whose five senses have never been so sharp and alert to every sound, every lurking danger (real and imaginary), every cry, every movement, even when we are supposedly sleeping. No wonder then that moms usually suffer from extreme fatigue because of not just the physical strain of giving birth, recovery, feeding and just being present and doing actual work but more so because of the mental load that we women carry.
Motherhood is when you finally understand what true love really means. But for most of us, the mental and physical load that we carry in order to raise our young ends up taking a huge toll on our mental and physical well-being. The result of this, is that the very person who brings us such joy also becomes the victim of our resentment, albeit unknowingly. We resent doing all the work with no one to support us most of the times. We resent our new bodies with all its aches and pains because we have not been able to take care of ourselves. We resent giving up our careers for which we have worked so hard because we did not have the support system. We resent going back to work because we are often overlooked for important jobs and assignments. We resent having to let go of our previous lives. We become increasingly bitter and volatile with our moods.
We understand this because we have been there. No wonder they say that you need a village to raise a child. In hindsight, when we look back, we wish we had our village. Our tribe of women who would stand in solidarity and have our backs. And that is why we decided that every woman should be able to fall back upon her tribe when she is at her most vulnerable stage – of being born as a mom!
We have created our very own village where every woman feels nurtured and heard and seen – whether it is related to parenting advise, post natal care and nuturition for the new mom, how to queries related to your infant, going back to work post maternity leave, Health and fitness – you name it and we will be your sounding board and that nudge that you may need to bring out the best in you when the going gets tough. Why do moms need this? Because we moms are nurturants and we cannot nurture ourselves, our babies or our families if we don’t indulge in self care and self love – after all one cannot pour out of an empty cup. So mama, lets get your mojo back!
