Existential Mercury RX Updates

Alex here. My kid slept 5 hours IN A ROW last night. I’M SO BACK BABY!!

In my maternity leave, I’ve had a lot of hands full time where my brain could wander. I knew that it was important for me to be present while also holding space…for the lyrics of Defying Gravity. (JK JK I was holding space for my child, my new identity, my new relationship, my new desires, etc…)

Anyone who’s had a baby can relate. You’re marooned on the couch for a feed (as one of my momma besties likes to say) neither your phone or remote anywhere in sight. Plenty of brain space front and center, with none of the high functioning capacity!

Here are some things that have dawned on me:

• Time definitely isn’t real. One minute goes by like 90 at 3am when you’re trying to transfer your newborn into the bassinet without waking her. Also, if you have to be somewhere to be at noon, the morning hours go devastatingly quickly down the drain, much like wasted breast milk.

• My world became both smaller and so much bigger. I have a higher capacity for love and even lower capacity for bullshit (if you can believe it).

• Your baby smiling at you > any other addictive substance.

Ok ok, listening to me wax poetical about postpartum life probably isn’t what you signed up for… so here are some updates on things you might care about:

I’m back from Maternity leave with limited time available for sessions. Priority spots go to coaching clients.

Applying for coaching spots looks like this + I have 5 spots left to start in January.
