Maria Mathis-Cruiser continues her story and shares her journey through the complexities of childbirth, including the unexpected transition to a C-section, her NICU experience with her daughter, and the emotional challenges of postpartum recovery. She discusses the struggles of breastfeeding, the societal pressures of motherhood, and ultimately finds peace in her decision to prioritize her well-being and happiness over societal expectations. Maria's story is a testament to resilience, love, and the unique challenges faced by mothers.
Maria Mathis-Kruser is a Hill Country writer, artist, volunteer addict, chaos-wrangling rancher, and now a brand-new mom. The long road to Alice—infertility, IVF, a preeclampsia pivot, and a NICU season—gave her new grit and softer edges. She writes with humor and heart about choosing your best self, advocating kindly, and navigating postpartum without the shame spiral, all against the backdrop of ranch life where the goats are loud and the love is louder.
