"This isn't pain, this is power."

I spoke these exact words over myself as I labored, and I will believe them over you. Birth leaves no mother as it found her. Your immersion of motherhood is one that will break you down and rebuild you all in the same breath. It is a time when you will explore your own capacity in new and beautiful ways. You will tether yourself to this radical love that will help guide the way. You were made for this very moment. It is my honor getting to sit with mothers as they arrive, shedding the old woman and stepping into a new one. I can't wait for you to nuzzle into your golden space.
