Mother.Hood

Motherhood is demanding. It asks everything of us – without a manual. The mental hurdles themselves are exhausting, and daily life can become a matter of just getting by.

Most women enter motherhood depleted. Growing a baby uses our resources. Then labor happens, and our energy, nutrients, and blood are expended further. If we have not taken the time to replenish and heal, our health can be impacted for years to come – sometimes as many as ten or more years down the road. Postnatal depletion, the exhaustion of day-to-day life, and the lead into perimenopause can make the climb back to our healthy, whole selves feel out of reach.


How many roles are wrapped into Motherhood? Chances are you’re wearing many hats simultaneously. We think and act on behalf of our partners, children, and parents, all while dealing with work demands and basic, daily necessities. The unending list of to-dos takes us outside ourselves, and we’re left wondering how we can be all the things life asks of us while remaining connected to our essence and legacy.


And let's not forget that, collectively, we have experienced an unprecedented amount of turbulence in the last few years. Upheavals at home, in work, and in school have led to high levels of stress, anxiety, and depression.


If any of this resonates with you, now is the time to pause. It’s never too late to begin again, and the here and now is an excellent time to prioritize your health. Interwovxn wants to remind you that you are a priority, and deserve to (can, and should) find ways to immerse yourself in the joy of being you.

Caretaker, take care of thyself!

"Being a mother is learning about strengths you didn't know you had, and dealing with fears you didn't know existed."
