What does it feel like to lose your spark in postpartum? I never expected this part of motherhood to hit so hard. No one really prepares you for how much you can miss the version of yourself that existed before a baby. The body I used to criticize... I’d do anything to feel that confidence again. Now I look in the mirror and sometimes don’t recognize the person staring back. We see so much online about the beautiful moments, but not enough about the mothers quietly struggling in the background — the ones wondering where their spark went, wondering if they’ll ever feel like themselves again. Some days, taking care of myself feels impossible while taking care of a baby full-time. I miss me. I miss the spark I used to carry without even noticing. If you’re feeling this too, I just want you to know you’re not alone. I’m right there with you — trying, learning, and finding my way through this new version of me.
