AlexiskristianaHi, I’m Alexis 👋🏽 I’m a mom of three, married to my college sweetheart, and newly back in New York City after spending the last few years in the suburbs… Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about what it looks like to come back to yourself after motherhood. Not leaving motherhood behind, not loving your family any less …just remembering that there is still a WHOLE person underneath all of the giving, carrying, planning and taking care of everyone else. The other day I came across this Sex and the City moment and it stopped me because my husband and I had literally just been having a conversation about how I feel like Sex and the City but through the lens of motherhood. And somehow this scene captured so much of what I’ve been feeling…. Motherhood is beautiful, but it can also be exhausting, confusing, fulfilling and completely identity-shifting sometimes all at once. And since moving, my family arrived back to me so many comments of how happy I look and how I’m glowing, and it’s because I’m truly having so much fun rediscovering myself here and this city just makes me feel so alive! But at the same time, yes I am a mother and not every single day is all rainbows and unicorns. And I hope, if you’re in one of those seasons, you give yourself the space to feel all of it. To not feel crazy for changing. To want more for yourself while being incredibly grateful for what you already have. Coming back to New York has felt like coming back to a piece of myself, too. And I’m excited to keep showing what that journey looks like not only as a family finding our rhythm here again, but as a woman in her 30s rediscovering herself along the way… If that sounds anything like the season you’re in, I’m happy you’re here 🤍 ( new series loading?? Would you tune in?) #nycmom #mamaof3 #momtruths #motherhoodunfiltered #nycliving
