[AD.PR] Feeling empowered isn't something I've felt for a long time. Both my body and my emotions have been on a rollercoaster ride since becoming a mum. I'm at a stage now in my postpartum journey where I feel empowered as a mum... And I really want you to feel the same.
Ways to feel empowered as a mum.
1. Regain your personal style.
One of the biggest impacts in improving my confidence & becoming a sassy mama is by regaining my personal style.
I went through the battle all new mums go through, which is figuring out what the hell to do with my new postpartum body? I didn’t feel like me for such a long time after having my daughter and it took a while to get my head around but I got there in the end. Now a year after having my little one I feel more confident than ever in the clothes I’m in.
2. Give yourself a great skincare routine.
My skincare routine went out of the window in the newborn days. I’d actually give you money if you could show me a new mum with a great skincare routine. Looking after yourself once you've had a baby becomes the hardest thing in the world, but I think it's so important we make time for ourselves... And for me that starts with skincare.
I’ve added some new products into my skincare routine, but I think the most beneficial thing for me is having a clean face when I go to bed at night as well as when I get up on a morning. Sounds simple right?
Who’d have thought a clean face would make you feel empowered in the skin you're in? But it really does!
3. Surround yourself with empowered women.
The easiest way to feel empowered as a mum is to surround yourself with others in the same boat.
Since having my daughter I’ve met some amazing women online. Women who are all in a similar position to myself, who are out there absolutely killing it! They’re brought things out in me which I never knew was possible & in turn I want to do the same for other women out there.
My online mama community really is the best!
4. Wearing amazing lingerie.
Even when you’re wearing your mum uniform; The mum bun & comfy loungewear; You can still feel empowered as a mum by wearing killer lingerie underneath. There’s something sexy and somewhat secretive about hiding an amazing set of underwear under your regular clothes… Even if it’s only you that knows about it!
Good underwear never fails to make me feel amazing & I’ve got some fabulous pieces in my collection.
I’d love to do an all empowered photoshoot with other mama’s wearing beautiful lingerie sets embracing our post baby bodies. I’d love to find women who’d help put these plans in motion… Because if there’s something I’m about, it’s making women feel as amazing as humanly possible!
I'm feeling amazingly empowered about who I am right now. I'm fearless in motherhood & fearless being myself. I'm also able to see me for me, rather than just my daughters mum which is something I never thought possible in the early days.
