2016 Called. I Wasn’t Ready for What I Found


Hey Reader,

This week, I noticed the “2016” trend going around, so I decided to join in.

I scrolled back through my photos from that year and saw pregnancy pictures, wedding photos and then it hit me.

My oldest is turning 10 this year.

I’m not ready.

I’m already navigating:

  • FaceTime playdates
  • Bras
  • Hormones

And I’m somehow supposed to be ready for double digits… while also chasing a toddler who has strong separation anxiety not just with me, but with his almost 10-year-old sister too.

The contrast feels unreal.

Ten years ago, I was moving to a new city in Florida, starting a new job, getting licensed, and becoming a mom all at the same time. I didn’t feel ready then either. I just kept going.

That’s the thing about motherhood: life moves fast, and we’re constantly moving through seasons we didn’t exactly prepare for but somehow end up living anyway.

Some seasons stretch us.
Some seasons soften us.
Some seasons ask more than we think we have.

What season are you in as a mom right now?

Mom Connection

Hey Reader I almost didn’t notice it. A full month went by… and I hadn’t had real social interaction. Then I watched my kids at an Easter egg hunt.They were smiling. I was smiling. And something clicked. I haven’t been lacking discipline.I haven’t been doing anything wrong. I’ve just been harder on myself than necessary. Because I kept trying to “fix” the feeling. Yoga.Breathing.Journaling. And still… low energy. Still off. So I assumed: something must be wrong with me. But there wasn’t. What...

Mom Goals Accomplished

Hey Reader, This week I noticed something different in my body. Relief. Not because everything was perfect.Not because I checked every box. But because I paused long enough to look back. If you’ve been in my spaces, you know I love to plan.Not just to be productive but because planning lets me dream. It connects me to a version of myself that believes things are possible. Every 3 months I review my goals and reset for the next quarter.This week, I did that. April is around the corner. What...

Mom Thoughts

Hey Reader Working moms carry a constant stream of thoughts. Schedules.School forms.Work deadlines.Doctor appointments.Dinner.Laundry.Snacks. Your brain runs all day long. But here is the uncomfortable question: Who actually hears you? Most moms are the listener. You listen to your kid.You listen to everyone at work. You listen to your family. But when is someone listening to you? This week I met with my coach. Like usual, the first five minutes looked like pure rambling. Half-finished...
