Of course, you know how life with twins goes - full of surprises. In January 2020, at my 20-week anatomy scan, we got the news that we were actually having twins. Turns out, hidden twins are still a thing! Now I was in a crash course of figuring out a mono-di pregnancy and how to be a twin mom. Thankfully, my boys were born healthy in April 2020.

It was the beginning of the pandemic and there were so many unknowns. Everything was shut down and I was unable to find a twin mom community for support. I was overwhelmed with the mental load of twins, trying to parent 3 boys 3 and under, sleep deprived, and I was constantly stressed. I was anxious, constantly feeling that I was failing my boys, I was doing it all wrong, and I was going to mess them up. I just kept trying to do everything perfectly, took care of myself less, until there was nothing left. I was stuck deep in survival mode, just focused on getting through each day. I was snappy, irritable, impatient, overwhelmed constantly, worried, and struggling each day.

Slowly, and with support, I began to understand my nervous system and why I was so overwhelmed all the time and I began to connect with the reasons why I was stuck in survival mode. In the heart of my own journey as a twin mom, I needed someone who got it to guide me, to help me, and to support this journey. Instead, I did it myself and that journey sparked a desire in me to talk about our experiences as twin moms, provide resources and support, and foster a community that celebrates the unique challenges and joys of this journey. It's my passion to guide and empower twin moms to rediscover their joy in being a twin mom.

Life with twins is chaotic and beautiful. But the chaos, made worse by survival mode and the mental load of twins, steals our joy forcing us to survive the chaos of twins. It doesn't have to be this way, I help twin moms repair their emotional regulation and build the structure needed to increase our capacity to handle the chaos of twins so we can actually enjoy it.
