#balance motherhood

[its-poojagupta-shree]

Motherhood, a timeless and sacred journey, has been a central aspect of human existence since the dawn of civilization. The traditional image of a mother as a nurturing, self-sacrificing figure has deep roots in cultures worldwide. However, as societies evolve and embrace modernity, the concept of motherhood has undergone a profound transformation.

au-niverse expansion

hello had a thought this morning (i need to stop having them lol) abt a potential new angle of the oikoi au where hermione is sent to live with penelope when helen is abducted!

she knows her 'auntie' penelope and refuses to let anyone else be her primary caretaker. her father tries to reason with her to stay at home where she grew up, where its familiar, and where everyone knows her and will seek to protect her, but she refuses.

he cant stand seeing the tears that well in her eyes, just like helens. he arranges a convoy to send her and a very apologetic letter to the king and queen of ithaca, who have their own newborn to worry about.

shenanigans ensue. idk i really want to explore the 10 years of troy from penelopes perspective esp ruling a kingdom while raising her son (and now niece) and keeping herself together. and also another 10 years that is much darker and heavier and tackles her trauma bc she too became a monster rawr rawr rawr at some point, just differently.

--

and then hermione is sent on her merry way home when menelaus and helen send for her after writing a letter confirming their victory and shipwreck i think it was (diomedes had kindly written to her telling her the war was over and the ships had set sail homewards but she hadnt heard from anyone and the horizons were empty).

anyway now with newfound hope odysseus is merely having sat nav issues lol. she loads hermiones ship with gifts to welcome helen home including plenty of fabric and pieces of her own design

(something i reeeally want to add lol is that telemachus goes with her after winning a bet with penelope to let him go, and well he is his fathers son so he trots off and has a grand week with his aunt and uncle. menelaus tells him of his fathers cunning blah blah tele is even more pumped to meet his dad omg poor bby).

and then when he returns he suddenly finds several guests?? penelope is shook and trying to handle the situation with grace. tele is half hiding behind her and holding onto her robes, a hand is on his head and the other over he heart.

the 'guests' only increase in number and nothing is quite the same. at least his aunt ctimene and cousin eupehmia are still here. only a few years down the line they too are forced away and it really is tele and pen against 108 horrid men whos audacity only grows with their appetites.

AND THEN when tele goes to search for his dad the gut punch is the parallel of menelaus being like son ur father is the most badass lil shit ive ever known to son idk how to tell you but but hes not coming home. idk lots of crying here

the point is its all told through penelopes perspective and several external povs bc those are fun and give u, well, new perspectives XD

currently toturing all my blorbos. let them weep (harder)

Margaret of Anjou’s visit to Coventry [in 1456], which was part of her dower and that of her son, Edward of Lancaster, was much more elaborate. It essentially reasserted Lancastrian power. The presence of Henry and the infant Edward was recognised in the pageantry. The ceremonial route between the Bablake gate and the commercial centre was short, skirting the area controlled by the cathedral priory, but it made up for its brevity with no fewer than fourteen pageants. Since Coventry had an established cycle of mystery plays, there were presumably enough local resources and experience to mount an impressive display; but one John Wetherby was summoned from Leicester to compose verses and stage the scenes. As at Margaret’s coronation the iconography was elaborate, though it built upon earlier developments.

Starting at Bablake gate, next to the Trinity Guild church of St. Michael, Bablake, the party was welcomed with a Tree of Jesse, set up on the gate itself, with the prophets Isaiah and Jeremiah explaining the symbolism. Outside St. Michael’s church the party was greeted by Edward the Confessor and St. John the Evangelist; and proceeding to Smithford Street, they found on the conduit the four Cardinal Virtues—Righteousness (Justice?), Prudence, Temperance, and Fortitude. In Cross Cheaping wine flowed freely, as in London, and angels stood on the cross, censing Margaret as she passed. Beyond the cross was pitched a series of pageants, each displaying one of the Nine Worthies, who offered to serve Margaret. Finally, the queen was shown a pageant of her patron saint, Margaret, slaying the dragon [which 'turned out to be strictly an intercessor on the queen's behalf', as Helen Maurer points out].

The meanings here are complex and have been variously interpreted. An initial reading of the programme found a message of messianic kingship: the Jesse tree equating royal genealogy with that of Christ had been used at the welcome for Henry VI on his return from Paris in 1432. A more recent, feminist view is that the symbolism is essentially Marian, and to be associated with Margaret both as queen and mother of the heir rather than Henry himself. The theme is shared sovereignty, with Margaret equal to her husband and son. Ideal kingship was symbolised by the presence of Edward the Confessor, but Margaret was the person to whom the speeches were specifically addressed and she, not Henry, was seen as the saviour of the house of Lancaster. This reading tips the balance too far the other way: the tableau of Edward the Confessor and St. John was a direct reference to the legend of the Ring and the Pilgrim, one of Henry III’s favourite stories, which was illustrated in Westminster Abbey, several of his houses, and in manuscript. It symbolised royal largesse, and its message at Coventry would certainly have encompassed the reigning king. Again, the presence of allegorical figures, first used for Henry, seems to acknowledge his presence. Yet, while the message of the Coventry pageants was directed at contemporary events it emphasised Margaret’s motherhood and duties as queen; and it was expressed as a traditional spiritual journey from the Old Testament, via the incarnation represented by the cross, to the final triumph over evil, with the help of the Virgin, allegory, and the Worthies. The only true thematic innovation was the commentary by the prophets.

[...] The messages of the pageants firmly reminded the royal women of their place as mothers and mediators, honoured but subordinate. Yet, if passive, these young women were not without significance. It is clear from the pageantry of 1392 and 1426 in London and 1456 in Coventry that when a crisis needed to be resolved, the queen (or regent’s wife) was accorded extra recognition. Her duty as mediator—or the good aspect of a misdirected man—suddenly became more than a pious wish. At Coventry, Margaret of Anjou was even presented as the rock upon which the monarchy rested. [However,] a crisis had to be sensed in order to provoke such emphasis [...]."

Embracing Motherhood and Digital Marketing: My Journey of Growth and Learning

As a new mom, life has taken on a whole new dimension of joy, challenges, and opportunities. Amidst the whirlwind of motherhood, I find myself drawn to a new adventure: diving headfirst into the dynamic world of digital marketing. It's a journey that excites me, challenges me, and enriches my life in ways I never imagined.

Discovering a Passion for Digital Marketing

The decision to explore digital marketing wasn’t just about career growth; it was about feeding my curiosity and staying connected to the rapidly evolving digital landscape. With a background in a different field, the prospect of learning something entirely new was both daunting and exhilarating. However, I’ve come to realize that being a new mom has equipped me with a resilience and determination that makes tackling new challenges feel natural.

Balancing Motherhood and Learning

Balancing the demands of motherhood with my newfound passion for digital marketing has been a learning process in itself. It requires careful planning, flexibility, and sometimes, late nights fueled by sheer determination and a cup of coffee. Yet, every moment spent studying or implementing new strategies feels like an investment in my future and my family’s future.

The Joys and Challenges

There are days when balancing a crying baby with understanding SEO feels like an impossible task. Yet, there are also moments when a breakthrough in understanding social media analytics brings a sense of accomplishment like no other. Each small success, whether it’s mastering a new concept or completing a project, fuels my motivation to keep pushing forward.

Embracing Continuous Learning

One of the most exciting aspects of digital marketing is its ever-changing nature. Trends evolve, algorithms update, and consumer behaviors shift. Embracing continuous learning isn’t just a choice; it’s a necessity. Fortunately, my journey as a new mom has taught me the value of adaptability and perseverance, qualities that are essential in this fast-paced field.

Looking Ahead

As I continue on this journey of exploration and growth, I am filled with optimism and curiosity about where it will lead me. Perhaps one day, I’ll combine my background with digital marketing to create something truly innovative. Or maybe I’ll find a niche within the field that allows me to leverage my unique perspective as a mother. Whatever the future holds, I know that the skills and experiences I gain now will shape and enrich both my personal and professional life.

Final Thoughts

Being a new mom and delving into the world of digital marketing has been a transformative experience. It’s a reminder that life’s greatest adventures often begin at the intersection of passion and opportunity. As I navigate the challenges and celebrate the victories, I am grateful for the opportunity to grow, learn, and evolve—both as a mother and as a professional.

In the end, this journey isn’t just about acquiring skills; it’s about embracing the joy of continuous learning and the fulfillment that comes from pursuing what excites me. And as I strive to balance motherhood with my studies, I’m reminded that the most rewarding journeys are often the ones that challenge us to grow beyond our comfort zones.

What I find truly fascinating about young children is that if they are really interested in something they'll basically learn it themselves.

I'll give you an example. My son always owned a balance bike (used to belong to his big half-brother and is quite big and heavy, almost like a real bike, not one that you could use indoors), but until very recently he was too small for it and I didn't really want him to use it just yet. I was afraid of potential accidents, etc. But a few weeks ago he was really into bikes and decided to play with it. First he was basically just pushing it around. Then he started to sit on it and sooner than I had planned he took off. I didn't want him to learn this. But he wanted to and it was there. So he decided: let's go give mama a heart attack. 😅

The Unsung Heroes: Postpartum Doulas - Nurturing New Moms and Families

Shaina Tranquilino

December 11, 2023

Becoming a parent is an incredible journey filled with joy, love, and countless challenges. While the focus often revolves around the miracle of childbirth, we must not overlook the significance of postpartum care for both mothers and their families. In this blog post, we will explore the vital role of postpartum doulas, shedding light on who they are and what their invaluable support entails.

Who are Postpartum Doulas?

Postpartum doulas are trained professionals who provide physical, emotional, and informational assistance to new parents during the delicate post-birth period. They offer compassionate care to nurture not only mothers but also their entire family unit as they navigate through the early weeks or months after childbirth. These skilled individuals are equipped with expertise in breastfeeding support, newborn care education, maternal recovery guidance, and overall postpartum well-being.

The Role of Postpartum Doulas

1. Emotional Support: Postpartum doulas understand that every mother's experience is unique and may be accompanied by feelings of uncertainty, exhaustion, or even overwhelming joy. With empathetic listening skills and non-judgmental attitudes, these doulas create safe spaces where moms can express themselves freely without fear of being judged. Their unwavering emotional support eases anxiety and fosters confidence in parenting abilities.

2. Physical Assistance: The physical demands of caring for a newborn can be daunting for any parent. Postpartum doulas lend a helping hand by assisting with daily household chores such as meal preparation, laundry duties, and light cleaning tasks. By taking on these responsibilities, they alleviate some of the burdensome workload from new moms' shoulders so they can focus on self-care and bonding with their baby.

3. Breastfeeding Support: One significant area where postpartum doulas excel is in providing breastfeeding guidance. They possess extensive knowledge about lactation, positioning techniques, and troubleshooting common nursing challenges. By offering practical advice and reassurance, they empower mothers to establish a successful breastfeeding relationship with their infants.

4. Newborn Care Education: From swaddling techniques to diaper changing tips, postpartum doulas are a treasure trove of newborn care wisdom. They educate parents on the essentials of baby care such as sleep routines, soothing methods, and recognizing signs of infant distress or illness. Armed with this knowledge, new parents gain confidence in meeting their little one's needs effectively.

5. Advocacy and Information Sharing: Postpartum doulas act as bridges between families and the vast network of healthcare professionals and community resources available to them. They help navigate this complex landscape by connecting parents with reliable information related to pediatricians, support groups, mental health services for mothers experiencing postpartum mood disorders, or even local parent-baby activities.

In our society that often focuses solely on the prenatal journey and childbirth experience, we must acknowledge the significance of comprehensive postpartum care. Postpartum doulas play an invaluable role in supporting new moms during this transformative period by providing emotional stability, physical assistance, breastfeeding support, newborn care education, and acting as advocates for their well-being.

As we strive towards nurturing healthier families overall, it is crucial to recognize the incredible dedication of postpartum doulas who work tirelessly behind the scenes. Their unwavering commitment helps new parents transition into parenthood with grace and confidence while fostering a loving environment where both mom and baby can thrive.

With that being said, the journey of welcoming a new life into the world is filled with both joyous anticipation and immense love. However, sadly, not all pregnancies end in the expected celebration. For families who experience the devastating loss of their baby during pregnancy or labour and delivery, navigating through grief can be an overwhelming and isolating experience. In these trying times, postpartum doulas play a crucial role in providing compassionate support and helping bereaved families cope with their grief.

Understanding the Role of Postpartum Doulas: Postpartum doulas are skilled professionals trained to provide emotional, physical, and informational support to families during the postpartum period. Traditionally known for assisting new parents after childbirth, they have now extended their expertise to offer guidance specifically tailored to those experiencing perinatal loss.

Compassionate Emotional Support: Losing a baby is a deeply personal and heart-wrenching experience that often leaves parents feeling isolated and emotionally shattered. Postpartum doulas who specialize in supporting families dealing with perinatal loss understand the unique needs of grieving parents. They possess remarkable empathy and compassion, creating a safe space where families can openly express their emotions without fear of judgment or misunderstanding.

These doulas offer active listening skills, allowing parents to share their stories, memories, hopes, and fears surrounding their lost child. By offering non-judgmental companionship through active mourning rituals such as holding ceremonies or participating in memory-building activities like journaling or creating keepsakes, postpartum doulas help parents process their emotions while honouring their baby's memory.

Physical Care and Recovery Support: In addition to emotional support, postpartum doulas also assist bereaved parents in managing physical aspects related to pregnancy loss. These may include helping mothers recover from labour, providing guidance on self-care practices and nutrition, or assisting with practical tasks such as meal planning, household chores, or arranging for support from family and friends.

Navigating the Complexities of Grief: Grief is a complex journey that affects individuals differently. Postpartum doulas who specialize in perinatal loss possess an understanding of grief's unique dynamics and can help families navigate its complexities. They provide vital resources and information about various grieving processes, counselling services, support groups, and other bereavement resources tailored to the specific needs of each family.

Advocacy and Education: Postpartum doulas also play a crucial role in advocating for bereaved families within healthcare systems. They facilitate communication between parents and medical professionals, ensuring their concerns are understood and addressed sensitively. Additionally, they educate families about their rights, options for memorializing their baby, and assist them in making informed decisions regarding funeral arrangements or obtaining keepsakes like handprints or photographs.

The pain of losing a baby during pregnancy or childbirth is immeasurable, but no parent should have to face this heartbreak alone. During these challenging times, postpartum doulas specializing in perinatal loss offer invaluable support to grieving families by fostering understanding, empathy, and compassion. By acknowledging the significance of their experience, these doulas help parents honour their baby's memory while navigating through grief towards healing and hope.

Motherhood and Emotional Balance: Online Emotional Coaching for Moms by Gemby Lamia

Introduction to Motherhood and Emotional Balance

Motherhood is a beautiful and rewarding journey, but it can often feel overwhelming and emotionally draining. Balancing the demands of children, family life, and personal well-being is no easy feat. This is where Motherhood and Emotional Balance becomes essential. For mothers, maintaining emotional equilibrium can lead to a healthier, happier life, not only for themselves but for their families as well. Gemby Lamia's online emotional coaching for moms provides a vital resource for those looking to regain or maintain their emotional balance while navigating the complexities of motherhood.

The Emotional Challenges of Motherhood

Motherhood is often portrayed as an idyllic experience, but behind the scenes, many mothers struggle with emotions ranging from guilt to anxiety, and even sadness. The emotional labor involved in raising children, managing household responsibilities, and fulfilling societal expectations can feel exhausting.

The Pressure to Be a Perfect Mom

Society often places unrealistic expectations on mothers, creating feelings of inadequacy. Mothers are expected to do it all: balance work and home life, be emotionally available for their children, and maintain their own personal health. This immense pressure can lead to stress, anxiety, and even depression.

The Guilt of Putting Yourself First

Many mothers experience "mom guilt"—the feeling of guilt when taking time for themselves. The thought of leaving their children for a few hours to practice self-care or indulge in a hobby often feels selfish. However, self-care is vital to emotional well-being, and online emotional coaching can help mothers navigate these feelings.

Overwhelming Responsibilities

From managing household chores to planning activities for their children, mothers often juggle multiple responsibilities at once. This constant cycle can lead to burnout and emotional exhaustion, making it difficult to remain emotionally present for their families.

How Emotional Coaching Helps Mothers

Gemby Lamia’s online emotional coaching offers a personalized approach to emotional well-being for mothers. Through interactive sessions, mothers can explore and address their emotional struggles in a safe, non-judgmental space. Emotional coaching is a tool designed to help mothers rediscover their inner balance and regain control over their emotional health.

Building Emotional Awareness

One of the key benefits of emotional coaching is building emotional awareness. Gemby Lamia works with moms to help them recognize and understand their emotions, rather than suppressing or ignoring them. By becoming more aware of their emotional triggers, mothers can better manage their reactions and make healthier emotional choices.

Learning Coping Strategies

Through emotional coaching, mothers can learn practical coping strategies to deal with stress, anxiety, and overwhelm. These strategies might include mindfulness exercises, journaling, or relaxation techniques, all of which are effective tools for managing emotional health.

Gaining Confidence and Self-Worth

Online emotional coaching encourages mothers to focus on their strengths and personal growth. Through guided discussions, they can identify their accomplishments, talents, and achievements, helping to build their confidence and sense of self-worth.

Why Online Emotional Coaching is Ideal for Busy Moms

In today’s fast-paced world, finding time for self-care can be a challenge. Online emotional coaching provides a flexible solution, allowing mothers to access coaching sessions from the comfort of their homes and at times that work best for them. This convenience makes it easier for mothers to prioritize their emotional health without disrupting their busy schedules.

Flexible Scheduling

Online coaching eliminates the need to commute to a physical location, offering moms the ability to schedule sessions at convenient times. Whether it’s during nap time, after bedtime, or during a lunch break, coaching is available when it suits the mother’s lifestyle.

Confidential and Safe Environment

Many mothers find it difficult to open up about their struggles due to fear of judgment. Online emotional coaching provides a confidential and supportive environment, enabling mothers to share their feelings without hesitation.

Personalized Coaching Sessions

Each mother’s experience with motherhood is unique. Gemby Lamia tailors coaching sessions to address the specific challenges that individual mothers face, ensuring that each session is relevant and helpful.

Emotional Detox: What it Means for Mothers

An emotional detox refers to the process of cleansing the mind and emotions from negative or toxic influences. For mothers, this means releasing guilt, stress, and anxiety, and embracing emotional renewal. This cleansing process allows mothers to recharge and find peace within themselves, ultimately leading to better mental and emotional health.

Understanding Emotional Detox

An emotional detox isn’t about suppressing or avoiding emotions—it’s about addressing negative emotional patterns and clearing them out. By acknowledging these emotions, mothers can heal and cultivate healthier ways of dealing with stress.

The Power of Letting Go

Letting go of expectations and societal pressures is one of the most effective ways to detox emotionally. Through coaching, mothers can learn to release the unrealistic ideals of perfectionism and embrace their authentic selves.

How Gemby Lamia’s Emotional Coaching Supports Emotional Detox

Gemby Lamia’s coaching process encourages mothers to embark on an emotional detox journey by fostering self-reflection, mindfulness, and healing. The goal is to guide mothers through the emotional detoxification process, helping them clear out emotional blockages and achieve a healthier mindset.

Releasing Emotional Baggage

Emotional baggage can weigh mothers down, leading to frustration and burnout. Emotional coaching helps mothers identify and release past emotional wounds, enabling them to live more freely and authentically.

Practicing Mindfulness

Mindfulness is a key aspect of emotional detox, helping mothers stay present in the moment and reduce feelings of anxiety or overwhelm. By practicing mindfulness techniques, mothers can create a sense of inner peace, which is essential for emotional balance.

The Long-Term Benefits of Emotional Coaching for Moms

The benefits of online emotional coaching extend far beyond the immediate sessions. By committing to emotional growth, mothers can enjoy a long-term improvement in their emotional well-being, enhancing their relationships with their children, partners, and themselves.

Improved Mental Health

By addressing emotional struggles head-on, mothers can experience a significant improvement in mental health. Emotional coaching can help reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression, leading to a happier and healthier life.

Strengthened Family Bonds

When mothers practice emotional balance, they set an example for their children, teaching them how to manage their emotions effectively. This leads to stronger family relationships, where emotional expression is encouraged and supported.

Conclusion

Motherhood can be overwhelming, but with the right support, it can also be incredibly fulfilling. Gemby Lamia’s online emotional coaching for moms provides the tools and guidance necessary for mothers to regain their emotional balance, manage stress, and experience a more fulfilling life. By prioritizing their emotional well-being, mothers not only improve their own lives but also enhance the well-being of their families.

Through personalized coaching, emotional detox, and a focus on mindfulness, emotional coaching offers a powerful solution for mothers looking to thrive in the midst of their responsibilities. It’s time for mothers to take control of their emotional health, invest in themselves, and create the life they truly deserve.

My Quarter-Life Crisis is trying to kill me. | MillennialMomManifesto

My kid was watching a nursery rhyme that said "Don't throw your junk in my back yard, my backyard’s full," and I froze, my mind spiraling until I sank into the floor and cried, Summer Walker style. Panic attack? Adult tantrum? How many times are my peers and women of my generation finding ourselves in positions like this?... And Why...?

The more I gain the confidence to speak with my peers about instances like these or the catalysts for such, I realize things like this are happening to most of us right now. Our unhappiness is mentally & physically showing itself in our faith, health, mind, bodies, actions and reactions.

Sociologists say "Mid-Life" by today's standards is between ages 35-75 🧐

What do you count as middle-aged? At almost 30, I feel like I used to think this was it, but now, I refuse to accept that. All my life society and media showed us mid-life crises were usually for 30 or 40-something year old men buying sports cars and trading in their wives for newer models, but today what does that look like? 

I'm calling it a quarter life crisis (and not mid-life crisis) because if the people in the Bible lived hundreds of years & there are still Centenarian Blue Zones on this modern day planet, I hope this is not the middle. I hoping we have so much more to go. Most people want to live longer and climb the proverbial ladder quicker - so that's where the crisis kicks in. My peers and I are trying not to be crushed under student debt, living costs that don't match the wage gaps, and dreams we don't know how to make come true, but still daily haunt us. Queue the panic about not being where we thought we would by now or how much we feel we should have gotten accomplished and comparison to our peers' highlight reels online.

Being super is tough: It's a constant battle of figuring out when to use your powers (for good or for evil), balancing your secret identity, maintaining your energy and constantly improving your powers or learning new ones.

Good Vs. Evil: Remember that panic from earlier? You know, the panic enacted by milestones you thought you would reach by now? Write down what you want, how you want to get it, and form a timeline to make it happen. Seeing your plan on paper can help ground you.

Secret Identity: Make the best of this time! Even if it doesn’t feel like it, you are supposed to be here in this moment. There is more than one way to navigate life, careers, etc. Why else would there be so many paths if people were not meant to be different and explore different options. Do what works for you! Your powers are different form the supe next to you, and there are still muggles and mortals with no powers at all. Queue the Gratitude & Mindfullness.

Maintaining Energy: They say life gets better with age, so think of yourself and where you were 1, 3, 5, and even 10 years ago! You would KILL to know, do, have the things you do now & you learn daily how to do this life thing a little bit better than yesterday. Consider this quarter or midlife crisis a pitstop for refocus, weather this transition with reflection and grace for yourself. Identify the wisdom you have and apply it to new areas. 

"The purpose of your life is to find your gift, the work of life is to develop it, and the meaning of life is to give it away."

As far as Powers: I leave you with this quote:

"Midlife is when the primary operating system of your life shifts from the ego to the soul. It's a period when people start to rearrange what gives meaning to themselves."
