This Mother’s Day let’s celebrate mothers as humans, the ones who need their break, ones who hate multi-tasking, and the ones who should be stretching their feet without guilt.

The possibility of a vaginal tear and stitches came to me as a shock, as I realized that there is still so much that I am not aware of about my own body!

Can a woman want more than her identities of a daughter, a wife, and a mother? Can we love and accept our parents even if they’re deeply flawed humans with their own dreams and desires?

Trauma left behind by parents can have a long shadow, no matter where in the world these stories happen. The Lost Daughter is one such Oscar nominated movie - a must watch.

Stop glorifying biological parenthood - other methods of growing a family are just as valid, and completely a couple's choice, especially of the woman whose body goes through pregnancy and birth.
