Motherhood is an incredible journey, an ever-evolving adventure filled with boundless love, heart-melting moments, and, let's be honest, a fair share of exhaustion.
A 2021 study published in the Journal of Women's Health found that 70% of mothers experience moderate to high levels of stress, highlighting the need for prioritization of well-being throughout this remarkable phase of life.
So, if you're a young mom navigating the sleepless nights and endless diaper changes, a working mom juggling career demands and family commitments, a stay-at-home mom graciously navigating the daily demands of a household, or an older mom cherishing the years spent nurturing your children. The one constant to all these is your unwavering dedication you poured into your role.
At Herbs of the Earth, we are celebrating moms through our "Pursue Nurturing" campaign this May. We believe that mothers deserve to be nurtured too, and that's why we're dedicated to providing resources and tools to support your well-being at every stage of motherhood.
