Such a beautiful message Melissa Raymond! You are so right – we do not need to go through life feeling isolated. Even if we don’t currently know anyone going through whatever we are going through, finding an online community like Thrive, that is full of like-minded mums / parents is so helpful! Thank you so much for creating this wonderful community for us
Megan Jh Absolutely – thank you for your kind words. There’s no reason for isolation no matter the path we’re on. Love having you in our beautiful community!
Cant wait to be apart of the Thrive community. Michael was labelled as “Failure to thrive” at 4 months old. He is now 13 and I still cringe if I have to speak to doctors due to their ignorance of gut health, overgrowth of bacteria and blaming me the mother, that I wasn’t feeding him enough. No one listened regarding my concerns. I was surrounded by Naturopaths and TCM and they all encouraged me, whereas mainstream scoffed at me. Family didnt understand food intolerances or the effort involved with making bone broths, fermented foods and the constant supplements – morning noon and night. Im so glad to have connected with you .
Love having met you too Bronwyn through our gorgeous friend Joanne! Yes it’s so devastating when we know in our hearts and trusting our instincts only to be firmly told (and laughed at) by those who we seek advice from. It’s a terrible model of disease!
You are so amazingly strong, and I’m so glad you found your people to help support and guide you.
I also want to acknowledge the MASSIVE EFFORT – and loneliness – of the bone broths/ferments/ supplements/stool samples etc…. where it’s near impossible to go out to just have a ‘coffee’ with someone and think about anything else – let alone have that coffee!! I truly admire you – you are an amazing inspiration!
