FEATURE ARTICLES
6. Figure out what your YOU time looks like, and take it with no regrets. Having a baby is a major life
change and you need time and space to process and/or relax. Since Nate has been born, there has been
less ME-time. Sometimes my only me-time is my commute to and from work. As soon as I pick up him
and go home, not only do I have to ensure his needs are met, but I have to cook dinner, get myself ready
for the next day, and do a little cleaning up before it is bedtime for us both. These days, I am more vocal
about asking Alonzo or my mom to take the baby for a few hours while I browse Target and/or Sephora
baby free.
While I am still learning lessons about balancing life with a little one, implementing these nuggets with no
regrets have been the most profound and have made me a better professional, mother, and wife. "

As a new mom, I can't stress the importance of holding yourself accountable to take care of you! Spend time
with yourself, check in on yourself, learn about yourself, have grace with yourself! When I became a mother, I
became a different individual. If accountability in this department is hard for you , find yourself a " mom tribe " . I
currently have a tribe of moms who all previously worked in RLH, and I can't express how wonderful it is to vent
and celebrate with them. So lean on and into yourself and your support system!
Lastly, I hope by reading this article you feel enlightened but also empowered. Yes we all have shared
experiences that were difficult, but there were also experiences that were powerful and rewarding. To the current
moms, you are not alone, keep rocking it out! To the future moms, you CAN do this, feel free to reach out to any
of us for future guidance. Finally, to RLH departments, please learn about the experiences the mothers in your
departments are having. Are there barriers that can be removed, procedures that can be adjusted, or additional
support that can be given? At the very least, help your departments create an environment where mothers feel
advocated for, supported, and valued for every aspect of their identities and roles.
We thank you for taking the time to listen to our voices.
