Hotmilk x Everyday Solitude – Self Love Edition

A deck of conversation cards for the relationship that influences all the others: the one you share with yourself.

Certain of the most meaningful conversations in a woman's life are the ones that never happen, which is why this deck exists. Use it solo or with someone you trust, and let it guide you toward more curiosity, compassion and confidence in how you treat yourself. It was created with the mental health initiative Everyday Solitude, in consultation with a clinical psychologist.

Gentle and safe, these questions are designed to get to something real.

Five themes make up the 50 cards:

1. Connectedness — being comfortable in your relationships and with yourself

2. Awareness — grasping the reasons behind the way you see yourself

3. Needs — putting a name to what you need and learning how to express it

4. Perception — exploring the way you relate to yourself from one day to the next

5. Wild Cards — the questions that venture where the others won't

Nothing here is set in stone. Draw any card you like, follow one theme from start to finish, or stay with a single question for as long as you wish. Use it by yourself, share it with a trusted friend, or enjoy it with a partner.

A quick note: this tool is meant for conversation and reflection, and it can't replace professional mental health care.

A thoughtful gift for:

Ideal for new mums, mums-to-be, friends moving through postpartum recovery, or anyone going through a period of change. A Hotmilk nursing bra or a piece of maternity lingerie makes a lovely companion gift.
