You’re kind (of a big deal)

Work hard and be kind—to yourself. People to be kind to: yourself, your partner, your future baby, your fellow working mamas. Did we mention yourself? Trying to conceive can be stressful and full of anxiety. (Also exciting!) It's essential that you start loving yourself for the journey. Work hard and be kind—to yourself. XO, TeamMotherly P.S. Print our our TTC self-love mantras to nurture yourself when trying to make a baby. Stick one on your mirror, your fridge, your coffee pot ☕️ (your true source of happiness). And remember: You deserve all the joy in the world.
