Luxury of Self Care

Sometimes we ask ourselves, "Am I doing my best?" The same goes with our partners. Are we doing our best to support them? Can we choose to do better for them? Can we choose to respond better in situations to get the outcome that we are actually looking for?

Today, we dive a little deeper into supporting our partners and living in that high vibration by leading by example.

We don't have control on many things but we do have a handle on some. As I worked through all my trauma, the loss of yet another pregnancy, I stopped blaming my situation and started doing things and choosing the higher vibration. Choosing things that truly make me feel happier when I have completed them. Taking each small step to get back to feeling better about myself.

Sometimes, we talk plenty, but are we actually saying the right things? Today we dive a bit more into how using our voice to ask for what we need vs. the reaction can truly benefit our relationships.

Seeing the physical growth of something you are nurturing can be the most rewarding experience. However, the growth does not happen overnight. We must lean in, be patient, and enjoy the process.

Society has a way of making us feel ashamed about our grief. Many don't know how to respond to someone who is grieving. We are made to feel we should rush things along and "get back to normal", so everyone else around us can know how to act around us again.

Sharing more on my social platforms has really assisted me through my grieving process. Leading with my heart instead of my mind has shown me I truly can not control everything that happens to me. But, I can control how I respond to the world around me and what is happening to me.

Discussing how I'm working through self-care during grief and the loss of our little girl at 17 weeks pregnant. Reminding us all in those times of lows to be gentle with ourselves. The ego tends to push us into spirals of anxiety even more these days. Each day is a choice to pick ourselves up and move forward.

What I thought was big news to share is still big news; unfortunately, it's not the way I thought I would tell this story.

**Trigger Warning**

Today, I share my second pregnancy journey. As I thought I would celebrate my big news with you all at 18 weeks, we sadly lost our baby girl at 17 weeks and had to get another D&E. This episode is the full story from start to finish of our pregnancy journey. I morn with all of you who have ever had to experience this or any type of loss.
