A funny thing happened…

So…a funny thing happened.

In 2020, I got a little quiet. I thought long and hard about this website/platform/blog and my intentions with it.

Should I let it go? Should I do more?

I almost stopped caring. I didn’t have many answers about covid other than how to cope with being at home with kids all day, managing stress and anxieties around a global pandemic, and encouraging you as much as I could to stay on top of your health. (You can still get my free Quarantine Survival Guide here).

But I was discouraged, like you, and I paused.

Then, I made a new website. I got all pumped up to refresh my content with a new voice (mine) that declared, “YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE PERFECT! You don’t have to be extreme or overwhelmed to lose weight, find balance, and eat in a way that is best for your body!”

I shared this proclamation via email and my blog at the end of December with the intention to blast off in 2021 with some new clients and some new offers with “A Place of Grey.”

And two days later, this happened:

And two days after that, I found myself in bed with morning sickness for the following two months.

I shared a little on the blog about my gratitude for my husband and how hard I had worked over the last few years to learn how to receive and accept help. But frankly, I didn’t have it in me to focus on my website/blog. I was still working my day job, taking care of my 5-year-old who is only in part-time school, and 100% prioritizing my health and self-care during this precious time.

Now, as I find myself smack dab in the middle of my second pregnancy, I have been fighting a daily yearning to write about it, to share this time with you, resources for pregnancy, for wellness, for weight loss (for the rest of you), and battling a weird sense of procrastination like never before.

Does procrastination come from fear?

I think what I’m actually fearing is the current climate on the world wide web these days - it’s a little scary. Everyone is on-edge and angry and extra opinionated. And I think I’ve been afraid of adding to it all or worse - hearing back.

I have some pretty strong opinions about wellness, and I want to maintain that “grey area” in what I share: that it’s not about right or wrong and that we can still be kind and supportive of one another, even if we practice different things.

So stick around, I’m still here. I have new resources on the blog and some stories from my first non-medicated birth (which I’m hoping to blissfully do again at the end of this summer.)

Hopefully, you’ll be hearing a lot more from me in the coming weeks…
