I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how something profound happens every time you give birth.

You don’t just birth a baby—you birth a new, upgraded version of yourself. And in the process, you get cracked wide open.

If you follow me on Instagram, you’ll know that this week I had my Closing of the Bones Ceremony—a sacred rite of passage honoring the transition into motherhood. It’s an ancient postpartum healing ritual, deeply rooted in Mexican and South American traditions, designed to support a woman’s physical, emotional, and spiritual transformation after childbirth. Using sacred techniques like gentle rocking, massage, and wrapping the body with rebozos (woven shawls), this ceremony symbolizes closure—sealing energy, restoring balance, and calling a woman fully back into herself after the profound opening of birth. It is a powerful act of reverence, healing, and renewal, allowing her to reclaim her strength, embody her wisdom, and step forward with deepened wholeness. It’s magical and deeply transformative.

The reel I posted of my Closing of the Bones Ceremony after Bambi went viral (you can check it out here).

As I lay there—wrapped tightly, held, honored—I realized just how shattered I have felt since the birth of my beautiful boy.

Shattered in a good way.

Like I’ve been broken into a million pieces, and now I get to decide:

• Which pieces do I want to reclaim?
• Which do I want to leave behind?
• And what new beliefs and parts of me am I ready to step into?

I feel completely lost… and yet, somehow, more found than ever.
I feel uncertain, like I don’t know my voice, who I am or what I stand for anymore… and yet, in moments, I feel the most right and sure I’ve ever been.
I feel at peace… and then, in the next breath, full of self doubt.

Postpartum is this liminal space—where the old self has dissolved, but the new self hasn’t fully emerged yet. It’s raw, tender, and incredibly transformative.

And here’s what I’m reminded of:

1. With every birth, you receive gifts—even when they come wrapped in uncertainty.
2. You are not who you were before. Every cell in your body is different. Every belief gets upgraded and so you can not compare your life now to who you were before giving birth. 
3. Your voice may feel shaky, but it’s still yours. Even when I compare myself to others (and I still do when I’m feeling vulnerable), I remind myself that my path is unfolding exactly as it’s meant to.

So if you’re in a season of transition—whether it’s becoming a mother, starting a new business, launching a new offer, or simply feeling like life is shifting beneath your feet—know this:

You don’t have to rush to “figure it out.”
You are allowed to be in the in-between.
And you are still whole, even as you rebuild.
