A Healthy Mama is Best

"I wanted to avoid that awful knot I got in my stomach every time I thought about it. That internal tug of war playing out in my mind of wanting SO BADLY to give my baby a hit of that "liquid gold" and the mom guilt that had eaten at me the 9 months leading up to that delivery room where I walked in carrying formula, bottles and a binky.

Breakdown to Breakthrough

"I still feel like such a new mom, there are so many varying phases we encounter moment to moment and I am in it. But I also have an entirely different lens now than I did a year ago. Despite the long, difficult and challenging road, this year has been one of the greatest gifts of my life. This year had so many turning points, a process of breaking down, in order to break through." Tessa shares her experience in the first year as a mom and after in this raw and honest blog post.
