You had a recent change in life. You moved to a new state/country. You started college/graduate school. You started a brand new job. You just started a new relationship or recently married. Whatever new change you experienced recently, you are feeling overwhelmed by it all and having trouble processing this change.

Your mind is a whirlwind of thoughts. What if something goes wrong? What if they judge you? What if you can't handle it? These questions taunt you, causing a sense of impending doom to settle in. The voices in your head seem louder, criticizing every decision you've ever made. Doubt and worry creep in, feeding the anxiety like a voracious beast.

You feel lost. You feel disconnected from yourself. You catch glimpses of your reflection and wonder if you'll ever feel like "you" again. You look in the mirror and see a reflection that feels distant from the vibrant person you used to be.

You are trying to balance it all and it feel like you are about to collapse. You feel the weight of societal expectations, the pressure to be strong and resilient, but inside, you're struggling. You feel like you are drowning trying to keep up with the responsibilities and changes of motherhood, your career, and your relationships.

You often find yourself withdrawing from conversations about pregnancy and children, as they serve as painful reminders of what you yearn for. The fear of being judged or misunderstood adds to the isolation you experience. This journey is one of uncertainty and vulnerability, and you may feel like you've lost control over an essential aspect of your life.

You navigate the world with a unique perspective shaped by your ancestors, culture, and the lived experiences of your community. From a young age, you become aware of the nuances of race and ethnicity, knowing that your identity is an integral part of who you are. You often have feelings of invisibility and being unheard in a society that has continued to silence your voice.
