Surrendering is self care

Planning can feel like the only thing keeping us afloat
But when we stop, the silence can feel terrifying

It is so heavy to carry the weight of “what if” for so many years
Your spent from being in limbo

Choosing to surrender or pause doesn’t mean you’re giving up
It might just mean you’re taking care of yourself

Spoon Theory

Have you heard of spoon theory? It’s the idea that pain, whether emotional or physical, and chronic illness impact a person’s ability to do different daily activities and that each activity costs a certain amount of “spoons”.

Healthy people have unlimited spoons each day and don’t need to think twice about how to use their spoons. But people experiencing pain, chronic illness, or infertility have to be aware of how many spoons they have each day and plan accordingly.

This might look like saying no to Chanukah parties in order to save spoons for making and eating dinner that night.

Spoon theory empowers people to set boundaries to safeguard their mental and physical wellbeing. It’s a reminder to save some spoons to take care of yourself.

We have a limited amount of spoons each day - don’t use any on people or situations that bring you down and wear you out.

Do you think spoon theory is a helpful tool for you? What are some “spoons” you chose to do this time of year?

This year, forgive…

When you’re struggling to build your family, it’s so easy to get caught in a cycle of judgment. We judge ourselves for not being “strong enough.” We judge our partners. We judge friends who mean well but say the wrong thing. Sometimes, we even judge life itself for being so unfair.

This journey can send us into panic and desperation, riding an emotional rollercoaster that takes our self-esteem up and down. And before we know it, we’re stuck in the blame game—blaming ourselves, others, or anyone in reach.

As we enter the holidays, we want to invite you to think about forgiveness—not as some grand, sweeping gesture, but as a gentle starting point. Forgiving ourselves for not being perfect. Forgiving others for fumbling their words or not understanding. Forgiving the idea that this process has to look a certain way.

Take a moment to recognize just how much you’ve already carried. Remind yourself that you’re human, and you’ve shown tremendous strength in simply continuing forward, no matter how hard it’s been.
And one more thing: please forgive us, too. We know we haven’t always been everything you needed this year.

💔Sometimes your messages went unanswered, or took too long.

💔Sometimes a program, a post, or a speaker didn’t land right.

💔Sometimes our words might have hurt when we wanted them to comfort.

For those moments, we are deeply sorry. Our intention has always been to hold you with love and remind you that you are seen and not alone.

Xoxo,
Aimee
