| GUY FIRMLY BELIEVES THAT FELLOW MOTHERS SHOULD “DROWN OUT THE NOISE” AND TRUST THEIR INSTINCTS. |
Prepare yourself to be totally mesmerized by Molly Guy and her sweet daughter Sunny. You'll want to cheer her on as you read her eloquent depiction of the complexities and rewards of motherhood. By far the best The Glow interview yet! Here's a peek...

"WHEN IT COMES TO BEING A MOTHER, DON’T LISTEN TO ANYONE. ABSOLUTELY NO ONE. IGNORE ALL OF IT: THE BREASTFEEDING TIPS, THE SLEEP-TRAINING DOGMA, THE ATTACHMENT PARENTING BOOKS, THE WOODEN TOYS CREDO, FOOD ALLERGIES HYSTERIA, EVERYTHING. BEING A MOM IS ABOUT DEVELOPING YOUR OWN STYLE, JUST LIKE ANYTHING ELSE. YOUR KID IS GOING TO BE COMPLICATED AND TORMENTED AND AMAZING JUST LIKE EVERY OTHER HUMAN BEING THAT WALKS THIS EARTH NO MATTER WHAT, SO TRUST YOUR INSTINCTS AND DROWN OUT THE NOISE. THE ONLY PERSON WHO KNOWS WHAT YOUR CHILD NEEDS IS YOU." |

| "IF I HAD MORE TIME, I’D READ, WRITE, DAYDREAM. EXERCISE. HANG, MEDITATE. TAKE LONG WALKS. BE LAZY. BE PRODUCTIVE. DO EVERYTHING, DO NOTHING. I MISS FREE TIME…" |

"FALLING IN LOVE, BECOMING A MOTHER AND GROWING UP IN GENERAL HAS THIS SORT OF BEAUTIFUL ‘DEAL WITH DEVIL’ VIBE TO IT. THE AMOUNT OF WISDOM AND LOVE YOU GAIN IS DIRECTLY PROPORTIONATE TO THE VANITY AND EGO YOU’RE WILLING TO LOSE." |

| "…DEEP BREATHE AND STROKE MY BABY’S FACE AND TRY TO TELL HER TELEPATHICALLY THAT MY JOB AS HER MOTHER WOULD BE TO HELP HER DEVELOP A MILLION STRONG TOOLS TO MAKE HER INTO A WARRIOR SO THAT SHE COULD ALWAYS HANDLE ANY PAIN THAT LIFE THREW HER WAY AND THAT THINGS WOULD ONLY GET BETTER BUT IT SUCKED. IT WAS MY FIRST LESSON IN REALLY BEING A MOM—TOTAL POWERLESSNESS MIXED WITH TOTAL RESPONSIBILITY." |
I just adore how she says to follow your own instincts as a mother. It's so true! Also, don't you so agree with all the fabulousness to do if there was more momma free time? Yes, please!
There's so much more loveliness to devour and inspire here.
