I am 40, have two girls, and felt this deeply... Especially the line, "Our world rested on my ability to cope and manage whatever came up during the day."
I recently went back to my childhood home for a friend's baby shower, and outside of the event, I just rested. I let my dad make coffee for me and my mom drive me to Target. How wonderful it can feel to have someone else take the wheel...if even briefly.
Iām so glad this resonated with you. š I hope you find small quotidian ways to let others care for you - refill your well one small scoop at a time. In my last post - I ended with the simple practice of allowing my husband to carry my bag whenever he offers. It fills in for those long periods between dives. https://reneelux.substack.com/p/this-is-me-in-all-my-masculinity?r=2j21ac&utm_medium=ios
Thanks for your support Stefanie š Iām still learning to ask and receive. We are traveling right now and itās hard not to jump in and try to micromanage all our moves š

I felt the beauty and intimacy of your experience under water. How brave of you to ask for what you needed. Thanks for sharing Renee.ā¤ļø
