I had to unlearn A LOT of new mom expectations that I had set for myself and it was nice to see that I wasn’t alone in the journey. I learnt to understand my partners’ blind spots better and not to expect him to just know things. We communicate better now because I share my feelings and difficulties surrounding motherhood, a lot more. I had people to speak to, who understood and felt what I was going through in their personal capacity. I also realized that there are other moms going through tougher times than me, so I appreciated my position. Nolene you’re such a great listener! Your nurturing ability is comforting and it makes someone feel heard and understood. Thank you for helping us through the journey – the sessions were greatly beneficial.
