Becoming a mum. Being a mum.

This is your story.

“Only when enough of us are willing to whisper our truth will the hushed silence of inadequacy and personal pain transform into the roaring wind of healing change so desperately needed today.” (LeBlanc, 1999, Naked Motherhood, p.91).

Share the highs and lows of being a mum today! Writing stuff down can feel really good because it can help you see things more clearly and help you appreciate the journey you have been on - what things were/are enjoyable and interesting; and what things were/are challenging and how you responded to those challenges.

You are thinking these things anyway, so why not write them down and see how it feels? You might also surprise yourself with how you have managed considering the circumstances - what inner strengths or resources you have drawn upon to help you through. Or maybe it will highlight for you just what is important in your life right now. Go on.... try it!!

A GUIDE TO YOUR SUBMISSION:

What is your memory of your first year of motherhood, or how are you currently experiencing it? What were the biggest changes (easy and hard); or what experiences are impacting you most at the moment?

Please try and focus on the overall feelings associated with motherhood; what motherhood means to you; and not the details about events. It is also preferable that your story is about 10 lines of text or more and really speaks to how mothering is for you as a person, as opposed to just focussing on the parental aspect. Remember, your honesty might be just what another mum needs to read.*

But first, please read the privacy policy.
