Hi Reader,

If you've been following the global news lately, you might be feeling the weight of everything happening in the world right now.

And if you're pregnant or newly postpartum, you might be wondering how you're supposed to stay positive and focus on your baby bubble when everything feels so heavy.

Last week, a pregnant student asked this at the start of class: "How do I stay in my baby bubble with everything that's going on in the world?"

She wasn't the only one who felt this way.

My students are wondering how to find the balance between following the news, staying aware, and protecting their baby and their bubble.

My response each time is simple: You don't have to find the balance.

You may disagree with me here, but if you're pregnant or in your fourth trimester, you are allowed to block it all out if that's what you need.

Your job right now isn't to fix the world. Your job is to grow or nurture a human being.

I've made conscious choices about what I share on social media because I know pregnant and postnatal women follow me. I don't want to add to your anxiety. Instead, I practice my activism in other ways: through my personal choices, the values I teach my children, how I show up in my community.

You can do the same, in whatever small ways feel manageable right now.

Here's what I truly believe: mothers hold enormous power to shape the future.

When you model emotional regulation, you're creating an adult who can hold space for difficult feelings. This is generational change. And it starts with you doing your inner work and protecting your peace.

This is actually why I built Krish Yoga. One of the ways to do the inner work is through yoga practices that regulate your nervous system. Hypnobirthing is a method for having an empowered birth, and there's nothing more powerful than a woman giving birth!

This work is beyond yoga poses and birth plans. It's about putting the power back into mothers' hands.

I've just released a new podcast episode diving deeper into this conversation.

You can turn off the news. You can focus on yourself and your baby. You're protecting your peace and planting seeds for the world you want to see.

With love,

Krish❤️

P.S. Let me know your thoughts on this. Next week I'll do a part 2 with more practical tools.
