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 feeling that you're trapped by your circumstances-the grueling, long days and short, bitter-sweet years of mom life. The all-consuming conundrum of how to make money and be a present mom and follow your mothering instincts and intuition all at the same time. I know this raw space oh so well—because I lived there. In fact, I still battle the fear of my own limitations as a working mother with creative passions and a constant craving for more. But I want you to hear this: You are not broken for wanting more. You are not selfish for feeling stretched thin. You are not failing as a mom because you sometimes miss the version of yourself that felt free. There is no shame in busting at the seams of society's mom box. Because you are a multi-faceted female. And motherhood isn’t meant to be where we disappear. It’s where we rise. That’s exactly why I created the Bold Mama Movement. 👉 The waitlist is open. If you’re craving something more — you don’t have to do it alone.
With you always, |
