why I stopped powerlifting

Motherhood has a way of teaching you what actually matters. And honestly? A lot of the things I used to stress overâ€Ķ just don’t feel important to me anymore. I used to think being a “good mom” meant: – keeping the house spotless – staying caught up on everything – saying yes all the time

Moment of truth and transparency: For a long time, I accepted less than what I deserved — not because I was lazy, ungrateful, or entitled, but because generational patterns and learned habits convinced me that “less” was normal. Less in blessings. Less in wealth and financial stability. Less in lo
