We attended The Auckland Baby Show this weekend promoting our Village we recently launched just over 8 weeks ago. ‘Maternal mental health and creating your village’ is a topic we are so passionate about at The Motherhood Project and we were fortunate enough to be offered two seminar spots across the 3 day event, talking about a topic we believe needs more awareness. From our understanding we were the only stand at the Baby Show that was directly related to and focused on Maternal Mental Health. We met so many beautiful parents and their families, had honest, real & raw conversations, laughed & cried. One mother tried to eat our soil and sunflower seed in the goodie bag - because in hindsight it did actually look like chocolate. 😂 We feel incredibly fortunate to have had this opportunity to speak up for a topic we are so passionate about. We launched a 14 day free trial Baby Show special which is still going for now. We’ve had so many new members and can’t wait to get to know you all. If you’re interested in your free trial you can join through the link in our bio. Gem, Lineé, Jen and Gina x

I see you Mama, and something about you has changed… I don't think I've ever seen you more beautiful. You may have forgotten this amongst the throws of motherhood and find it hard to see it through the blur of these early days, but I see you. Your hair may not be blow-waved like it used to be, but now it’s a crown above your head, messy and perfectly imperfect. Your hands seem different, they may not be as manicured, but they're warm and comforting. They’re stronger, as they hold the world and the touch of those fingertips are someones world. Yes your heart aches, but it's never stretched and been so swollen before with love, so of course it will ache sometimes. You've always carried yourself well, but now you seem more womanly, stronger, yet beautifully vulnerable. Your eyes are begging to see some darkness for more than a couple of hours at a time, I know you’re tired, but they still shine, especially when you look at your miracle. Your body may feel different, but under those baggy clothes is the greatest gift to you and to what you've created. It nurtures, it bends and breaks it's resilient it's exceptional. You may be feeling lonely at times, or tired of being at home, but you truly look beautiful here, like all of a sudden home has a new meaning. You, are someone’s home. Your smile has changed, it's now one that knows things, secrets of contentment. There’s not as much energy behind it right now, but it’s never been so pure. The way you sit there, holding your baby like it's an extension of yourself, a natural, I've never seen anything so perfect. I'm just so proud of you and how amazing you are. Mama you're BEAUTIFUL. ▪️ Tag a mama x ▪️ Words by our gorgeous contributing writer Jess Urlichs. @lifewithharryandholly ▪️ Photo by the talented: @shelovedfiercephotography Featuring: @live_life_and_stephanieclarke

We can become the mothers we were meant to be - instead of expected to be. An undercurrent of women, of mothers, empowering each other. Going against the beliefs that no longer serve us of role playing and perfection. In a society that often encourages mothers to put themselves and their desires on the back burner - we are slowly taking back our power. We have the ability to recreate and redefine what motherhood means to us. We have the ability to change the mindset for our future generations.

Please baby, don't ever change. Little love, Please don’t ever change. The world needs you just as you are… Eyes that sparkle and melt your mummy’s heart. A smile that wraps around your chubby cheeks for no reason other than being. A body that beats, and moves and breathes, and is perfect just the way it is. A mind that’s already so creative and bold and strong that it has and will go on to impact so many lives as it expresses its unique talents, gifts and abilities. A spirit that inherently knows what it is here to do, and has all the answers of the universe weaved into it. My darling, know that you never need to change. Keep seeing the world through new and fresh and curious eyes. Know that while you will grow, you don’t have to grow ‘up’ and into society’s belief of what you ‘should’ be. Protect that inner knowingness that anything and everything is possible – that you are a limitless being with power that can only be expanded into endless potential towards the things that speak to you the most. Cherish your imagination as it will go on to manifest all your dreams into reality. And while your forms of communication may evolve, my precious baby, please always make sure you continue to ask for what you need. Trust yourself, just as you do now. Remember that peace, and happiness and connection are not things ‘out there’ but always are and will be within you. You have access to this space at any time. And like you inherently know, never forget that being is more important than doing. My babe, the essence of you is so perfectly orchestrated by Mother Nature. So don’t ever change…the world needs you just as you are. You’re are a flawless miracle, who’s reach is destined to go far.
