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 everyone else happy.

Everything changed the moment I saw that first positive pregnancy test. I had my first panic attack on the bathroom floor—and unknowingly began the biggest transformation of my life.

Motherhood cracked me open.

I walked away from a decade-long toxic relationship. I cared for my son and, in turn, I learned the importance of caring for myself. I started remembering who I was—before the masks, before the roles, before the world told me I had to shrink to fit.

It's like something clicked inside of me when I had something-someone-pure and unconditional to pour my love into. A whisper of what's possible. An inner knowing that I was meant for more. That we, as woman and as mothers, were meant for more.

By the time my third baby was born, that whisper inside of me had become a roar:
​We were never meant to just survive this season. We were meant to alchemize it. Because moms are fucking magic.

And that’s why I started the Bold Mama Movement.
Not as some polished expert—but as a real one. A mama who's been through it.
A friend. A fellow traveler. A mirror. A guide.

I created this space because I believe motherhood isn’t the end of our identity—it’s the portal into our power.
It’s how we rise, reclaim ourselves, and finally feel safe to live as our full-spectrum, unapologetic, wildly worthy selves.

This movement is about more than surviving the chaos.
It’s about turning the chaos into life-giving fire.
It’s about building a life where your children don’t inherit your wounds—but your wholeness.

It’s about remembering your Bold Mama Energy—that raw, sacred, mama-bear magic inside you that refuses to back down and refuses to settle.

And the best part? You don’t have to do this alone.
That’s why this community exists.
