About:

I shouldn’t say this out loud but the first three months after my daughter was born I resented being a mom. I was totally unprepared for how much work it was going to be and how it would change every relationship in my life. The biggest one being my relationship to myself.

When I became a mother, it felt like I became a new person. Not only did my clothes not fit, but my identity didn’t fit. Every day I was looking into the eyes of a stranger. Who was this woman? And who had time to figure that out when you’re sleeping in 45 minute shifts?

My motherhood journey was further complicated when I realized I had postpartum depression and was too scared, ashamed, and full of guilt to talk about it.

But it was also a gift because it allowed me to burn down everything I knew and start over. To be more present, to be more vulnerable, to be more resilient, and most of all to learn how to take care of myself while I learned how to take care of my little girl.

For the moms who overshare in their mother’s group, who are so busy some days they forget to brush their teeth, and so tired they feel like the skin might fall off their bones – this film is for you. This is Year One.
