🍂 Fall equinox & new moon 🌑 A time to rebalance and reconnect

Published 24 days ago • 1 min read

Happy Equinox, Reader!

On this day of perfect balance, we are invited to look inward and reflect. Just as the days shorten, inviting us toward a season of rest, the new moon offers a blank canvas for fresh intentions.

The postnatal journey is often seen as a solitary one, but it doesn't have to be. Let's turn our attention to the village that surrounds us—the friends, partners, and parents who walk alongside us. The most nourishing harvest isn't a to-do list; it's the strength we find in each other.

This convergence of the equinox and new moon is a beautiful invitation to reconnect. We encourage you to reach out, to listen, and to share your story without the pressure to have it all together.

Let’s use this energy to:

  • Share: Tell your story! Your vulnerability is an inspiration to others. Don't forget to tag us on socials.
  • Listen: Be a supportive presence for a friend. Sometimes, the most powerful connection is simply being present.
  • Build: Strengthen the bridges of support in your own life, and help others do the same.

The work of reconnecting is the work of healing. Thank you for being a vital part of this beautiful, evolving community.

With warmth and gratitude,
The Postnatal Support Network Team
