As I sat scribbling notes on the bleachers during my child's sports event, the reality of balancing motherhood and writing struck me harder than ever. It's a struggle that's all too familiar, and today, I'm getting personal with you about how to keep your writing dreams afloat in the storm of family life. We're diving into the CPR method - Compassion, Perspective, Release - a lifeline I've clung to when the tides of life and creativity clash. By starting with a healthy dose of self-compassion, we can better understand the weight of our challenges. Shifting our perspective, we'll examine whether writing is genuinely impossible or simply uncomfortable in the moment. And finally, we'll chat about the art of release, learning to let go of the barriers that hold us back from the page.

Wrapping up this heart-to-heart, I'm reaching out to all the fellow writer-parents to join the ongoing conversation where encouragement flows like ink at momwritesfirst on Instagram. Remember, your stories are not only valuable but necessary, and there's a world eagerly anticipating your words. So, cheer up and tune in for this session of unwavering support, as we pledge to keep our pens moving and our narratives unfolding. Let's promise to touch base again soon, continuing this shared journey of storytelling, motherhood, and the magic that happens when we merge the two.
