Gems from last week

When you think of yourself, and your identity in the world, what are your “ands”?

Why It Matters
  • Often when we go through the experience of pregnancy, postpartum, and parenting our identity can get pulled into that powerful journey, and other sides of ourselves get outshone.
  • We are all multi-faceted, complex human beings. Keeping your “ands” in mind reminds us of all the lived experiences we bring to the journey.
Some Examples
Belonging and Identity
I’m a sister and a parent. I’m a deep thinker and a parent.
Belonging and Identity
I’m pregnant and an artist. I’m a scientist and pregnant.
Friendship and Connection
I’m first generation American and pregnant. I’m the friend who brings our friend group together and I’m postpartum. I’m a big emoter and partner.
