“Being a mother makes me want to be better in every way”

June 18, 2018

Sofa, movie, family and popcorn... great weekend plan, right? Well, get comfortable because today you are going to discover a super interesting mom, she doesn't appear in the movies but she produces them.

We present Marta, the instamom behind @redwoodbird and the protagonist of the day. She is Olivia's mother and together with Pablo, her partner, they have an audiovisual production company. They are working on very cool projects and from now on, we will be more than aware of them (don't despair, we will tell you everything).

We risk our lives that you will be delighted with Marta, it is that she has answered each question with such beautiful sensitivity that we are wanting to know more and more about her experience. Are you ready to enter Marta's world?

“Being a mother makes me want to be better in every way”

Lua&Lee: Marta, do you think that since Olivia's arrival in your life, has your perception of motherhood changed?

Marta: I've always known that I wanted to be a mother. When Olivia was born, everything I expected to feel and experience was fulfilled, far exceeding my expectations. Being a mother is the most beautiful and enriching experience of my life, an emotional journey that I enjoy very much. Of course it is very tiring, accompanied by significant physical wear, but it was something that, by common sense, I already imagined. Something that I never thought about and that has surprised me is my relationship with breastfeeding. At my first check-up with the midwife, just 3 months pregnant, she asked me if I wanted to breastfeed and I realized it was something I hadn't even thought about. I am now a staunch advocate of breastfeeding. Olivia is two and a half years old and continues to breastfeed. It's something we both feel good about and we'll continue as long as she wants.
