This a reminder that your uterus is mostly muscle. Fueling your body during labor is the same as fueling your body during exercise.

Sometimes the strength within you is not a big fiery flame for all to see. It is just a tiny spark that whispers ever so softly, you got this, keep going.

Some women give birth to children…but we all give birth to ideas, creativity, community, businesses, schools, and more. The possibilities are endless and I love that about us. What are you birthing these days?

Mothers are molded in the fires and experiences of childbirth. When we respect birth as a transformative experience we will learn to no longer fear it.

“Labor of Love. It’s a process. The pain is progressing. This pain has a purpose. I am pushing for a purpose. My body is capable of doing hard things. Mindset is my powerhouse. Rest in between and right back at it. Labor. It is work and intended to be so. I am mom strong. God created me to do this.”

In these moments her body was opening, stretching, and making way to bring new life into this world. The body is truly remarkable when left unhindered. She worked so incredibly hard to meet her baby, as you can see in this image.
