I’m not where I want to be yet
But I’m everything I hoped I could become three years ago.
Three years ago I was pregnant with my third baby and honestly… I was scared.
Scared the baby weight at 30 would never come off.
Scared I’d lose the little time I had for myself.
Scared I’d go through another newborn stage feeling alone.
Scared I had no real plan for our future with three kids.
Back then I didn’t have a community.
I didn’t have direction.
I didn’t have a plan to make money around motherhood.
And if I’m honest… I felt surrounded by people waiting to see me fail.
Fast forward two years.
I’m almost back to my pre-baby weight.
I have a community of women who celebrate even my smallest wins.
I never did the newborn stage alone this time.
I learned that “time for me” doesn’t have to look perfect, it just has to exist.
I have a plan to pay for braces.
I have goals.
Dreams.
Direction.
Hope.
And the people who wanted to see me sink?
They don’t even exist in my world anymore.
If you feel stuck right now…
Just know this:
Two years from now your life could look completely different.
But only if you start.
Tell me in the comments or dm ;
Where do you want to be in two years?
Looking back, I remember how daunting those early days of motherhood felt—especially when managing the physical and emotional changes alongside the demands of raising multiple children. The fear of not having a plan or support can be overwhelming, but the key lesson I've learned is that progress is possible when you take intentional steps. One major turning point for me was embracing the idea that 'time for me' doesn't need to be perfect; it just needs to happen. Even just 10 minutes of self-care or reflection daily can recharge your mindset and help you feel more grounded. Building a community, whether through online groups or local meetups, provided encouragement and accountability that fueled my journey. These connections celebrated my smallest wins, reminding me that progress isn’t always linear but is always worth acknowledging. Another valuable insight was shifting my focus from what I feared losing—like those extra baby pounds or personal time—to what I could gain by setting clear goals. Dreaming up plans, such as saving for braces or defining small, attainable milestones, gave me direction and hope. Surrounding myself with positive influences, and letting go of those who thrived on negativity, drastically improved my outlook and motivation. If you're feeling stuck now, remember: change starts with that first step. Whether it’s joining a supportive community, setting one small goal, or simply admitting your fears, these beginnings can transform your life within two years. Remember, the people who doubted you won't matter; what counts is your perseverance and vision for where you want to be.
