New To ALL of This

Hello Mamas,

Where to start. I have never blogged before, like ever, it's all new to me. I created this platform solely for myself to share my experiences as a first time mom at 38, the good, the ugly,  and the down right what the heck moments since having my little. I had my daughter in 2022, which I guess makes me now 41 currently. 

My story is not unique in any sort of way but I'd like to share my story or stories with you because I want to provide insight for someone who maybe going through the same thing that I went threw or is going through currently (kinda corny, I know). But making a difference and building a community or helping someone is important to me. 

In my group of Gen Z friends, I'm the only one who has a kid. At my age, it is down right difficult to make friends, especially if you are a first time mom and in your 40s. I have no idea what the heck I am doing half the time. Which is for any first time mom at any age. There are so many changes, a lot of emotions (sooo many emotions), and a sense of lost identity. That I've kinda in a way have disconnected with my friends.

It makes complete sense having mixed emotions after having my daughter — especially at 38, when many parts of my that life that already feel established. That early rush of joy followed by a wave of reality is something a lot of new parents experience, and postpartum shifts — physical, emotional, social — that can amplify it. Add in the fact that my friend group isn’t in the same life stage, and suddenly I'm navigating something huge without many peers who get it. That kind of disconnect can feel isolating, even when you’re surrounded by people who care.

The good news is that I've come through this transition, and found some footing in this new part of my life. I love it, there is resilience, adaptation, and the bond that I have built with my daughter.

If you ever want to talk about what those early months felt like, how your relationships have changed, or even how to connect with other parents now, I’m here. You’re not alone in this, and your experience is valid and meaningful.

So grab a coffee, sit down with me and we can share our stories and build a community.
