The Story of Motherhood Untamed

It Started As a Whisper

When I became a mom, I quickly became passionate about all things babies and parenthood. It was shocking to me that the instant my baby was born I became “Mom” to everyone and “Angela” seemingly ceased to exist. “Mom” was a title I had always wanted, so why was the transition into motherhood so difficult? Breastfeeding was supposed to be natural but it surely didn’t seem intuitive and parenting this little human often felt…lonely. I started dreaming of a way that I could support families during this transition. I started to dream about “someday” as my heart whispered in quiet moments that this is what I was born to do; create something that could help families navigate new parenthood with grace and support.

It Became a Flutter

With the birth of my second child, the whisper in my heart became a constant flutter. Second time parenthood was a beautiful thing and yet, still surprisingly difficult. I continued to seek the support and love that I wanted the first time around. Breastfeeding, although I had done this successfully before came with new challenges and now I had a toddler to bring to any appointments I might need. I started dreaming again about someday; about supporting families in my community. About providing breastfeeding education and support from the comfort of their couch while any older children could play. I started researching certifications and business models and mentally drafting a plan for someday.

It Morphed Into A Hummingbird

Somewhere in my daughter’s first year of life, the thing that started as a whisper and became a flutter was now a hummingbird. Someday had become the dream that fluttered its wings inside my chest in almost constant motion. I started working on my certifications, I started talking to community connections and telling them about someday. While the timing of starting something so new never feels totally right, there was a constant nudge in my soul that the time was now. So I went to work. Someday became all I could think about; how supporting families through new parenthood initially or with subsequent babies and helping people reach their infant feeding goals would become my life’s work. With a lot of dedication and support from my loving village, Motherhood Untamed was born; someday had arrived.
