Hi everyone! I'm Lydia, a 33-year old preschool teacher and mom of three. My youngest just turned 3 and I feel like I'm starting to finally emerge from the crucible of new motherhood.
I'm currently navigating figuring out who I am now. How can I carve out time for myself? How can I balance my love of being alone with the needs of my family? What do I actually NEED? (Because, spoiler alert, it's okay to have needs! Who knew!)
I also came out to my partner and a few friends as bisexual a few years ago, and that has brought up lots of things in my marriage, so I'm also going to couples therapy now. Figuring out how to explore my queer identity while in a seemingly "straight" partnership has been a bit of a learning curve, and it's something I'm working on right now, too.
Thanks for inviting us to share, Nic. I'm sending an internet hug your way!
