Before life slowed into this soul-led rhythm, I spent years walking a very different path — deep in the medical world, earning my BSc (Hons) and PgDip in Diagnostic Radiography, Imaging, and Medical Ultrasound.
I even lived in Australia for a while, chasing sunsets, oceans, and the dream of discovering more.
But somewhere along the way, the wild voice inside me, the one that whispers there’s more to life — grew louder.
And so, I listened. I left the old rules behind and followed a new way.
A way that brought me back to myself, and brought me here, to you.
What’s Poetry Got to Do with Motherhood?
Everything.
Because if you’ve ever sat awake at 3 am wondering if you’re doing enough …
If you’ve ever felt stretched so thin you barely recognise the woman in the mirror …
If you’ve ever longed to feel rooted and real again, not lost in a haze of expectations, then you already know the answer.
Writing, poetry, and reconnecting to our own instincts have been my medicine.
My way back to the woman I was before the world told me how motherhood should look.
They’re the place I land when the mental load is too heavy, when anxiety spirals, when the noise of “not enough” gets too loud for me.
Motherhood Isn’t Meant to Break You.
I created this space because I know the silent struggles we all carry.
The invisible weight of worry.
The aching desire to slow down, equally, the feeling of being trapped in survival mode.
The fierce love for our children, layered with the lonely questions no one else hears:
“Am I getting this right?”
“Am I allowed to want more?”
If that feels close to home — then you, beautiful soul, are exactly where you need to be.
Let’s Soften into Motherhood Together.
You don’t have to “power through” this life.
You don’t have to mold yourself to a world that asks you to carry it all in silence.
You are allowed to live slower.
Wilder.
Truer.
Freer.
And when you forget?
I’ll be right here, in these pages, reminding you.
Welcome, Sister. Welcome home.
— Sophie Slosarczyk (Poet & Wild Heart)
