3/3 - change is needed … shift the balance … check your privileges … make the space … give the time … value women!!!

[Unspoken: Womanhood, the woeful & the wonderful @UnspokenWWW]

2/3 my response was “cos they’ve got the time!” - Privilege, the unconscious bias, the lack of the mental & actual load
Don’t get me wrong I know some incredible &mighty women but they’re exactly that “incredible & mighty” for fighting for the same space that is a given for men!

A colleague once said to me “why is it that men seem to be always a head, getting the opportunities, delivering the trainings, writing the books, taking up the space!?” …

@theodoraclarke @thetimes @BirthTrauma I was shocked and disgusted when my case kept getting rejected my law firms because there was no physical damage - just 4 different mental health diagnosis but that doesn’t count/matter in law apparently … change is NEEDED!!!

@howlett_leanne My face and hair had been projectile vommitted on, and I’d had to change the bedsheets and bath the baby all before 8.12am this morning - happy hump day 🤪

@howlett_leanne Mine was because I wouldn’t hold her hand just after I’d offered to hold her hand 🤨🧐

I wonder who turned it off 12 seconds in when we said the topic was periods? I wonder who finds this topic a difficult one to explore? I wonder who is willing to be open to learn more, hear more and speak more about this? …

[Mum of ACTion @action_mum]

I have taken a huge leap as I enter this new year and not one I feel particularly ready for 💔🥺😭 - valued actions are sometimes really really hard!!!

Our breastfeeding journey has come to an end and I know it’s for all the right reasons and I still don’t feel ready!

4/4 These photos are of our second to last feed on NYE, we had our last feed snuggling in bed New Years morning! It was bliss & I cried a lot & held her tight and that time was ours, just ours! 💔🥺😭😔😢
