Birthing Kimology
As a mum of four, including triplets, and with a type A personality, I had to learn to slow down! After Covid, I experienced burnout from trying to home school, start a business, manage all the arts and crafts, cook and bake, and document life on my personal Instagram. Juggling all these plates made me feel like I was in control, not to mention the praise I received for "doing it all!"
During & after birthing triplets and being in & out of the NICU for 3+ months (While attending to our 4 year old) I was like a deer in the headlights, never ever thinking to re-nurture my body or mind! I was simply in survival mode.
It was after discovering rebirthing breathwork mastery through The Reconnected that I became aware of my nervous system and realised I was living in fight or flight, never really returning to the ventral vagal state (one's optimal baseline where we are playful, curious, and able to respond as we’d like). Breathwork became a daily ritual to support my nervous system, and in doing so, I became more mindful of the areas in my life that needed attention. A quiet coffee or tea without my phone, practising a facial routine but with self love, letting go of the baggage of what others thought of me, and so on! Daily rituals became a part of my life—a love language with myself. They provided time to reflect, to go within, to not push away difficult emotions through numbing out, and to reconnect with myself as a woman, not just as a mother and wife.
'OLOGY' is a subject of study; a branch of knowledge.
KIMOLOGY is the subject of my own study, focusing on what I’ve found helps transform my days into ones filled with more slices of joy! I believe you can have your cake and eat it!
I hope Kimology will introduce daily pauses and self-love into your life too! May you empower yourself with immense self-worth and ignite the fire to shine bright!
Then, spread the light!
