Before this trip to Japan I’ve been struggling with anxiety, which is new to me. Since becoming a mother I’ve lost myself a lil and even though it appears I have it all together, I’ve been doubting myself and lost some confidence. Like many mothers, I give everything to my children and even though I’m fairly capable, I feel a lil broken inside.
Vicki invited me on this trip, and I wasn’t sure I could do it, but I did and I’ve really enjoyed myself. A break from the chores and monotony of motherhood has done wonders for my nervous system and I’m grateful to my partner for being so supportive and keeping things running smoothly at home.
Thank you to my special friend Vicki, who makes me laugh, encourages me and is always there to listen. We birthed our boys just a few days apart, and we saw each other weekly for two years before she moved away. She’s been incredibly supportive and always there for me, I just wished she lived closer
Sending love to all the mamas out there, and I hope you can find a moment of respite soon, even if it’s just a solo shower or bath.
Japan is a wonderful country to be in. It’s insanely busy but calm at the same time, the people are considerate and the food makes me feel good 💙💙💙
