Whitney Mixter Instagram – If You Think Giving Birth Is Only For Femmes, Whitney Mixter Wants You To Think Again
Have you ever wanted something so badly that you were ready to hold that dream above your relationships and do anything you had to do to follow your truth? đ
Join us in honoring @whitneymixterâs courageous commitment to her solo, queer motherhood journey for the 2nd episode of our new Whatâs Underneath: Birth and Postpartum series, brought to life with the support of @ergobaby and @fridamomđ
Driven to be a mother since she was a child despite othersâ assumptions of her as a masculine presenting woman, Whitney followed her inner calling, drew a hard boundary, committed to getting pregnant by 37 â no matter the preference of her then romantic partner â and embarked on the loneliest and simultaneously most empowering journey of her life by:
âĄSmashing the status quo around expectations of single, masculine, and queer pregnant women
âĄAttaining new gender-affirming acceptance by finding purpose in her chest during pregnancy and connecting to her âwomannessâ for the first time
âĄDestigmatizing the chaotic symphony of feelings upon seeing your newborn for the first time and redefining the flattened image of postpartum âloveâ that the media portrays
âĄPermitting herself the vulnerability to ask for help by relinquishing her need to have it all together and handle everything alone
âĄand SO. MUCH. MORE!!!
If Whitneyâs story has inspired you to tune into your biggest wishes, no matter the hardships that may follow, drop some đ in the comments and share with anyone whose inner guide has been wavering in the face of external pressures.
