Dear New Mom,
In this sacred space of motherhood's wild ground,
Where flourish and fallow dance to a sacred sound.
Like monstera leaves that unfurl, then rest between,
Let your soul's rhythm be active and serene.
When pressure whispers, "You must always bloom, and never cease!",
Remember: Fallow grants rest, and offers inner peace.
Like winter fields beneath a blanket of frost,
In stillness, what you truly need will never be lost.
A Gentle Garden Prompt:
Sit with these questions - breathe + scribble without judgment:
The monstera has some fascinating characteristics we can use. When flourishing, monstera's leaves unfurl in a dramatic, spiral pattern, taking their time to open. In more dormant periods, they conserve energy by slowing leaf production and focusing on nourishing the roots.
In your motherhood garden today:
What needs to flourish? Like the monstera, sometimes slowly unfurling new growth.
What needs to lay fallow (rest)? Like the monstera, sometimes gathering strength in the dark of the quiet root system.
SOULjourner, draw wisdom from the monstera.
Featured Gift Set SOULution
Now, I'm not going to pretend that a "New Mom Soul Care Kit" is going to solve new mom challenges. But sometimes, a little something can make a difference.
Each element of this kit has been thoughtfully chosen to nurture both flourishing + fallow moments in your motherhood journey:

Whether you're feeding your little one at 3 AM or finally getting that shower, let your chosen essential oil scent create a moment of sanctuary. The non-toxic formula means you can breathe easily while creating a peaceful space.
The Monstera Gift Bag More than just a bag - it's your soul care sanctuary. Ridiculously soft to the touch, like a gentle reminder to be soft with yourself. Use it to gather your essentials: a water bottle, snacks, your journal, or whatever helps you through each season of motherhood.
The New Mom Greeting Card Think of it as a love letter to yourself. Place it where you'll see it during those moments when you need a reminder that both flourishing and fallow times are sacred parts of your journey.
Soul Care Nutrition T-Shirt Comfort meets intention in this ultra-soft shirt. The Bingo Mindfulness Prompts on the back serve as gentle nudges throughout your day - a wearable reminder that taking care of yourself is part of taking care of your little one.
