Your change of season is here

So, before I get into my thoughts and feelings for this week (lol), I want to share that David and I did our very first parenting brand campaign with Huggies! We debuted part 1 today, and I couldn’t be more excited—click here to watch!

This new journey means new forms of content and you know what, I’m open to it. As long as I stay true to myself in the process.

I’ve been thinking a lot about change these days as we get closer to our due date. And the intense shift that’s about to happen in our lives.

Despite my efforts to say ‘it’s not close yet, it’s still SO far away”—that sh*t is getting close, lmao. And it’s crunch time.

We’ve barely had any free weekends all summer or so far this fall, but somehow I need to fit in some time to get this nursery together, purchase other necessary items to keep a child alive, plan how my business is going to function while I’m on maternity leave and mentally prepare.

I also need to bake in time to simply SLOW down. My body is feeling it these days and that’s adding to my anxiety around the entire prep process.

As much of a planner as I am, and as much as I do enjoy rewriting my narrative/reinvention—big, HUGE changes do still worry me. And sometimes that anxiety causes me to freeze or procrastinate. Which I’m trying my hardest not to allow take over.

It’s hard. But I’m choosing to breath deeply, speak kindly to myself, and take things one day at a time.

Change is good. It can sometimes bring out the best in us. Allow us to see other parts of ourselves that we didn’t know we had. It can also bring us closer to ourselves and our greater purpose. Or the life we’ve always envisioned. But that doesn’t mean it can’t be scary.

Nevertheless, choosing to walk with that fear instead of allowing it to cripple you, can make way for so much more. And perhaps, you’ll never look back.
