By now you’ve hopefully realised that on Motherness we keep it super real, but real doesn’t always have to mean difficult. In fact, today’s guest, the Ariana Bell is proof that you truly can have a dreamy Fourth Trimester and a positive entry into Motherhood for the first time. A lot of people talk about unicorn babies but today’s story isn’t necessarily that. 

There are elements of her journey that have been cruisy and dare I say ‘easy’ but I think it’s her perspective on loving fully, embracing all that it means to be a māmā, being conscious, considerate, and present with her son… that’s what makes the magic. 

I’ve always loved the saying, ‘no rain, no flowers’ and for Ariana she explains that the most challenging aspect of her experience has been the change in herself and her marriage – one that she and her husband are aware of, showing up for and continuing to navigate… like most of us are. 

So, Here’s Ariana with her beautiful Motherness story for us all.
