The Next Chapter
— BY LAUREN TREND
To the Self Practice Community,
It’s been some time since we last touched base. You may have noticed things start to slow down a little over these past few months.
I’m incredibly excited to share with you all that I’m pregnant, with a little girl, due later this year in the Springtime.
Lucy and I share this news tenderly and with immense gratitude. Whilst it may not seem like it from the outside, our pre-conception, conception and pregnancy journey has been a very long one. There have been hurdles, both physical and emotional, I never expected to be faced with and to have to overcome, but as I sit here and write to you today, I understand just how perfectly timed our stepping into parenthood truly is.
During this huge time of transition, my focus has been turning inward. During my first trimester I was quite unwell, and I’ve been through a huge lesson on slowing down and reserving energy.
As I slowly step into this new role, and how to balance having a business and a baby, I want to thank you for your unwavering support.
Lots of you have been here from the very beginning, and will know just how much this dream has meant to me for such a long time. So much of my own growth and self-practice has been to become the person I always knew that I could be, to parent and support this little soul.
I am so proud of myself and Lucy, for navigating one of the most arduous, challenging and life-altering journeys either of us have experienced. This little girl is already the light of our lives, and we can’t wait to share more with you as this journey unfolds.
With love,
Lauren.
