Welcome

My "why" for creating this newsletter and UPCOMING podcast

Growing a Mother

I want to explore how to make the transition to motherhood easier (if that is possible!) and give you some ideas on how to embrace where you are now, reconnect with yourself, your passions, your goals, and your partner. I really struggled with figuring out who I was as a mother, my purpose, and my career after the birth of my son 2 years ago and felt like I was losing myself in the struggle to search for answers. I wanted to be the best mom, the most ambitious woman, and to derive peace, happiness, and fulfilment from doing it all perfectly. As you can imagine, this did not go so well. So I have had to pause, literally put everything on hold and rediscover my values, what I deem as success, and find what would make me happy again.

This newsletter and podcast is part of my exploration of how I can take care of myself while also helping me to choose my next step. I am excited to have you join in honest conversation with experts and friends as we seek to pause and explore what it means to grow into a mother.

The podcast will be launching on April 24, and I will be releasing 6 weekly episodes along with a weekly newsletter highlighting my guests, topics of discussion, and some fun tidbits of life, food, and friends.

If you would be willing, please share this post with a friend or two, so we can learn and grow from each other.

Please reach out if you have any questions or want to share your own motherhood journey. I want to hear from you and would love to have you on the podcast.

With love,

Salima
