Don’t be afraid to show someone your true colour

Don’t be afraid to show someone your true colours. You’re a force, and your choices are your own! You don’t need to justify the decisions surrounding your birth or choices as a female period. ⠀

Anyone else allergic to pendejadas?

LÍNEA NIGRA (si mi gente latín for black line) ✊🏽⠀
⠀
Is it really black though? More so on the brownish side. ⠀
⠀
This brownish streak is a linear hyperpigmentation that commonly appears on the abdomen and runs vertically along the midline of the abdomen from the pubis to the umbilicus.⠀
⠀
For pregnant women, linea nigra is attributed to increased melanocyte-stimulating hormone made by the placenta, which also causes melasma and darkened nipples. 🧐⠀
⠀
Linea Nigra typically disappears a few weeks after delivery. ⠀
⠀
Anyone else still have theirs?

Who takes care of you no matter what? ⠀
⠀
That’s right your mama!⠀
⠀
I’m battling a cold that triggers my asthma. I sound like The Walking Dead peppered with Darth Vader.⠀
⠀
And who’s there with me? My mama. Thanks mami 🥰⠀
⠀
Here’s your PSA to thank the important people in your life for simply caring (and in my case helping to heal). ⠀
⠀
And to all the nut jobs that like to spread their germs 🦠 by going to work with little regard for others...not cool man. ⠀
⠀
Say it with me “I will love myself more and will take care of my body and give it the rest it needs to heal”. ⠀
⠀
Welcoming all the get well soon vibes and concoctions your moms swear by that help you feel better. 🤒😷⠀

2019 Reflections:⠀ ⠀ What the f**k it’s NYE?

2019 Reflections:⠀
⠀
What the f**k it’s NYE? I’m not kidding when I say I’ve just looked at the date and thought JC 2020 is upon us. ⠀
⠀
I’ve been on a solid vacation enjoying life and being sleep deprived from all the family gatherings (can anyone else relate? 🤚🏽🧐)⠀
⠀
What an amazing year it’s been for growth, opportunities and learning. ⠀
⠀
I’ve worked hard toward all my goals have laughed cried and celebrated. I’ve supported births, I’ve helped nourish, educate and support several families and have launched @lvltco!⠀
⠀
I’ve learned that when you show up for yourself everyday you set yourself up to succeed even when at times you don’t believe in yourself. ⠀
⠀
OWNING every bit of 2019 and beyond excited for new projects this 2020. ⠀
⠀
Well wishes to you all, happy new year! 🥳⠀
⠀
PSA: Don’t discourage those that set a plan, resolution or goals for the new year. Ain’t nothing wrong with a vision board, goal setting and working towards dreams, goals and personal growth whether it’s at the beginning of a new year or however you decide to start. ✨⠀

Im often asked to define #ownyourbirth. ⠀
In its true form it’s acceptance. But it also means showing up for yourself during pregnancy, birth, postpartum and beyond. ⠀
⠀
When you #ownyourbirth you are saying yes to yourself and the needs surrounding your physical body during birth, but it’s not just that. You are advocating for yourself and what matters most to you, your family and your baby. ⠀
⠀

Doula’s are the Mr. Miyagi of birth. We coach and stand at the side lines waiting to support you-some may even rub their hands together to treat you with reiki. ⠀
⠀
We wax on all the information you will need, and you wax off all the opinions surrounding your birth that you don’t. ⠀
⠀
“It’s okay to lose to opponent. It’s never okay to lose to fear.” - Mr. Miyagi⠀

People will tell you what to think, what to expect, how you’re going to feel and what to do. ⠀
⠀
Self empowerment is about having autonomy, seeking the solutions that matter most to you and owning your experience.⠀

Don’t give away your power own it.

🎄We are in the season of holiday parties. ⠀
⠀
So if you’re a parent that could mean little sleep and an early morning the next day, I mean you can’t snooze the kids (I’ve tried). ⠀
⠀
If this is the case your kids are at you full charge in the a.m. which means you’re tired and if not hungover you have a pesky headache from the few drinks you did have (well done! You self-cared). ⠀
⠀
The real question is for all you nursing mamas is do you pump and dump?⠀
⠀
And how do you deal the next day? Tips?!⠀

Weekend reflections:⠀
⠀
I’m insanely blown away by all the different ways women are supporting women. ⠀
⠀
So much gratitude/admiration/love for all the trail blazers making a difference in our city. I’ve had the pleasure of meeting so many strong women entrepreneurs in the past year and many of them are mothers... BAD ASS mothers. ⠀
⠀
We gifted this handbook to a mama (along with a few other favourites) as part of a giveaway at a pop up market for @lvltco. ⠀
⠀
It’s fucking hilarious peppered with where the hell was this when I was pregnant?⠀
⠀
So, sharing it. Read it. Gift it. Repeat. ⠀
Bask in the glory of women supporting women. ⠀
⠀
New mama, fear not. There are so many (cool) mom tribes waiting to support you. ⠀
