As woman in her later thirties, with an unexpected third child, who had all sorts of expectations for her career and now finds herself drowning in invisible burdens I resonate so much with what you’ve written. Thank you for taking the time to write this down and share with us. Looking forward to the rest of the series.
Thinking about invisible burdens, I've never thought of it like that because I'm so conditioned to carry them that I haven't even named them. Man, so good to remember we can do this differently than how we've done it before.
Ashley! I feel seen. Thank you for your honesty. This is exactly what I've been going through. I too had this kind of breakdown, and I had to stop, slow down and reevaluate my priorties. I also felt like I couldn't stop, and all the invisible burdens. The thing I kept asking was "Am I the only one feeling and going through this?" Reading your post tonight I felt like it was God telling me your not alone Reyna. So Ashley thank you for writing. Your writing is so refreshing to me, inspiring, and brings me hope! I am sorry you experienced all this, but I am thankful for your growth because you are able to help others going through similar journeys! Love you!
Thank you for taking a risk to write about this. We don’t often talk about the real, hard experiences we’ve experienced or currently face, so it’s refreshing and comforting to read your words.
And it’s an odd thing to hit midlife while also having babies. I too am in that boat. At 43, my youngest child (of 6) is 8 months old. I feel ready -- and my body is ready -- to move into a new phase but I breastfeeding a baby and chasing a toddler. It’s an uncomfortable juxtaposition at times.
