The Case for Being a Mother

Being a mother is a job. Nay, a career.

It is being a teacher, being a friend, being a boss, being creative, being an entrepreneur, an adventurer, an artist, a visionary (envisioning a better future for your kids).

It doesn't, and shouldn't pay in money.
It pays with love and kindness, bliss and happiness.

And more of us need to stop discounting that. Stop discounting ourselves.

We need to start standing up for the rights of women to be mothers, and fathers to be fathers.
We need to stop abusing the overworked, tired, under-appreciated PARENT.

Because there is no boss, but ourselves. There is no workforce but our children. There is no capital investment but the investment in the welfare of children and their lives.

And isn't that the noblest goal/job of all?

SPD differs from conventional PPD, as it centers on the loss of a sacred bond during childbirth. The Exper

What is mindfulness (and what do we get wrong about it)?

Mindfulness is the practice of bringing our attention and awareness to the present moment, without judgment. It involves being fully present and engaged in the current experience, rather than getting caught up in thoughts about the past or worries about the future. While mindfulness has become increasingly popular in recent years, there are some misconceptions about what it is and how to practice it. Here are a few things that we often get wrong about mindfulness: Mindfulness is not just about relaxation: While mindfulness can be a relaxing practice, its benefits go beyond stress reduction. Mindfulness has been shown to improve cognitive function, emotional regulation, and overall well-being. Mindfulness is not about eliminating thoughts: Many people believe that the goal of mindfulness is to stop thinking altogether. However, this is not possible or desirable. Rather, the goal of mindfulness is to become more aware of our thoughts and emotions, and to observe them without judgment. Mi
