You don't doubt that the seasons of the year will follow their predictable patterns year after year.
You don't doubt that the moon cycles will wax and wane, month after month.
You don't doubt the transformation process that a caterpillar goes through to become a butterfly or that the Rose will blossom and Bloom year after year.
Just like nature, your mothering journey has a predictable and seasonal pattern. Autumn can be likened to pregnancy and the season of letting go, winter can be likened to post partum - being in the in-between, the place between who you were and who you are becoming - there are dark days, uncertainty and a lot going on within. But then comes spring, when you begin to blossom confidently into the mother you are. Then finally summer arrives, everything is brighter and you have found your feet, this Mother malarky isn't so tough.... until your baby hits a new stage/phase or you have another baby... and its time to let go.... and the cycle continues....
When you understand the Seasons of Matrescence ™ model and gain clarity with the season you are currently in, then you are able to feel confident with what is. You will have a deep knowing that you are growing into the mother you were destined to be, whilst also honouring the season you are currently in.
You will be able to welcome the next season, even with its challenges, knowing that it shall pass.
You will be able to see the lessons and wisdom that come from each season.
