“Show them. Not to prove your worth, but so they can see what they’re capable of.”
I had been living behind closed doors, not just to the world but to my children.
I grappled for time alone- by my fireplace with my thoughts, on my yoga mat, running, swimming, biking- alone. Because I didn’t want the interruptions, I didn’t want their judgement or questions. I told myself I was recharging, but in truth I was hiding.
So I opened the door.
I allowed them to see me journaling with God, my workouts, the things I juggled throughout the day. Not so they would shower me with accolades, but so they could see what it takes to create a satisfying life- the tears and the laughter. The heartbreak and the joy. The courage and the confidence.
Sometimes we need evidence to begin believe in ourselves.
I’m here to be your evidence - you can be a present mom and live a fully satisfying life. You get to have it all not in spite of being a mom, but because you are a mom.
Because as moms our capacity for greatness is unmatched.
It’s time to love yourself, not just for your kids, but because it’s great for the world.
