@sopharush writes, “To the mama struggling to sh @sopharush writes, “To the mama struggling to show up for yourself everyday, just know you aren’t alone.

There will be days that seem longer than ever + everything you try to do to keep your baby calm isn’t working. Days where you really need a shower and the energy to get your teeth brushed, hair combed. Days where you will find yourself sitting in the same spot for hours spacing out, thinking about the days that used to be. Days where you feel like you aren’t doing well emotionally + mentally. Feeling guilty for even feeling the way you do about your child. Days where tears seem uncontrollable and isolation begins to set in.

I know these days all too well. I’ve had these moments + struggled with showing up for myself. These are the days that aren’t so curated for the gram. Moments that are often not talked about or shown in fear of being judged or feeling crazy, but mama I see you. I’m with you and I am standing alongside you. Each day won’t be easy to walk through, but in between, there will be days that you will be able to show up for yourself. For your family. Moments where you will be able to breathe + grasp the ability to wake up with the intentions to be kinder to yourself. To show yourself grace when days don’t seem to go as you planned. To tell yourself you’re doing the best you can.

There’s so much beauty in walking with other mamas and sharing in hopes that you feel not so alone during some of your darkest days. IG has a way of making motherhood seem so easy, but in reality, there are moments that are just hard. I am so beyond thankful for this community that have been such an encouragement when I struggled with showing up for myself. You guys have taught me to love every moment for they don’t last long. The good + bad, seasons are necessary teachers. So as I look at this photo with smudge little fingerprints covering the mirror, I am reminded that motherhood can be a bit messy, yet so beautiful at the same time. Would love for you to share your struggles or how you’ve shown up for yourself these days. 💛” // photo & caption by @sopharush

This week is Black Maternal Health Week!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Black mamas are 3x more likely to die during childbirth. When I learned this I started researching doctors, nurses, doulas and everything else to make sure I had all the facts to protect me and my family. I taught myself and my husband how to be an advocate. How to speak up even if I wasn’t able to.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In delivery rooms black moms fight for their lives every second. Black maternal Health week is important because it’s a time to reflect, learn and build each other up." // photo & caption by @nephjeanty
