The pain no one prepared us for
Hey Bold Mama, I want to talk about the secret, chronic, dull pain of being a mom. See, motherhood is filled with so many beautiful moments—first giggles, chubby cheeks, late-night cuddles. And yet... There’s this lingering, invisible grief we don’t talk about. The loss of the version of you that quietly fades into the background as you meet everyone else’s needs. The moments when you wonder: Is this all I am now? Just a feeding machine? Destined to life around nap times? The suffocating...
How motherhood cracked me open
Hey Reader, As I enter into this new adventure-curating a space for mothers to be raw, real and completely held by community-I feel like it's time I tell the story behind my mission. So, allow me to reintroduce myself. I’m Sammy—a mama of three wild ones, a voice for women who feel like they’re drowning in motherhood, and the heart behind the Bold Mama Movement. But before any of that, I was a woman stuck in a loop: people-pleasing, numbing, surviving. Quietly losing myself in attempt to keep...
You're not stuck...
Hey Bold Mama, Do you ever feel torn between two worlds-one where each precious moment feels like it might drain the last little bit of life left in you and one where you're bored and lonely and looking back wishing you'd appreciated those chaotic early years of motherhood more? I know-I've been there. Sometimes motherhood feels like a big game of damned if you do, damned if you don't. Like you can't wait until this phase passes and things are easier, yet you secretly fear the time when your...
How to Feel Safe When Life Feels Like Too Much
Hey Bold Mama, Let’s talk about something that doesn’t get enough airtime:What it actually means to feel safe within yourself.

Stop Shape-Shifting: Protect Your Energy, Mama 💥
Hey Bold Mama, Have you ever caught yourself shape-shifting to match someone else’s energy? Maybe you tone down your excitement, soften your opinions, or even adopt someone else’s vibe just to fit in or make them more comfortable. It’s a survival skill many of us learned early on—reading the room, sensing others’ emotions, and adjusting ourselves to stay safe. Handy as kids? Sure. Empowering as adults? Not so much. Here’s the truth: every time we alter our energy to match someone else’s, we...

Alchemizing envy...
We've all been there. There's that one Barbie on Instagram you just can't seem to unfollow even though you're secretly super annoyed by how Pinterest-worthy their life looks. Or there's that friend of a friend who's husband actually might be Mr.Perfect and you find yourself somewhere between barfing and bawling every time you leave their dinner party *cue self-pity, Rom-Coms and a pint of ice cream for dessert* And what about that girl from high school who's parents always paid for everything...
Can you hold the pose?
Hey Reader Have you ever felt like you were stuck in a sort of limbo or personal purgatory in your life? Like you can see the gold at the end of the rainbow, but you can't quite reach it yet? This could be anything from an overdue vacation you're eagerly awaiting to a big life change like a career shift or a new baby. Or maybe it's a version of yourself that you're working towards, but the lifestyle changes aren't sticking and you're exhausted from fighting against ingrained beliefs....
Are you sick of self-care?
Hey Reader Are you super over this whole self-care movement? Maybe you're a mom like me and you simply don't have the luxury to book a monthly massage or bi-weekly facial. (Or like, sleep.) Or perhaps you're scrambling just to fill the fridge on a regular basis so the budget just doesn't allow for bougie hair care or a cabinet of holistic remedies. But, does self-care only include those things? I saw a post recently that really sparked my curiosity around this whole idea: Where mothers...
