Being a mother 💕

POV: You finally understood every love song the moment you became a mom.

Here’s the proof that the best things in life aren't things. They are these little moments. #motherhood #sunsetAlice Springs #grateful

4/21 Edited to

... Read moreBecoming a mother is truly a transformative experience that reshapes your perspective on life and love. I remember the moment I first held my child, and suddenly those love songs and tender feelings made complete sense. Each little smile, cuddle, or even a shared quiet moment like a sunset stroll becomes deeply meaningful. One memory I cherish is taking casual walks during golden hour, holding my baby close as the sky painted itself with warm hues. It’s in these simple actions that motherhood’s true beauty shines through—like the phrase from the image, “let’s take a walk Hallelujah,” which perfectly captures the mix of exhaustion and joy. These moments are far from grand or materialistic but are treasures filled with gratitude. Motherhood also teaches patience and presence, allowing us to slow down and appreciate what really matters. Through sleepless nights and busy days, it's these small connections and silent understandings that create an unbreakable bond. They remind me that the best things indeed aren’t things, but the love and growth shared daily. For anyone on this journey, I encourage embracing all these seemingly mundane experiences—they build the beautiful story of motherhood. Whether it’s watching a sunset in Alice Springs or sharing quiet reflections on a walk, these are the chapters that matter most.

Mother wounds are hard to talk about! 🌸🍋✨
The mother wound is simultaneously the most common thing I see in my work and the least commonly talked about. Because how do you grieve someone who is still alive? How do you name a pain that doesn’t always have an obvious story attached to it? How do you explain that your mom “wasn’t that bad

Becoming a mother is something you can’t be taught. You kind of need to figure it out all on your own. And if you’re lucky you have an awesome partner to help. I am one of the lucky ones. But it’s still hard. You loose yourself along the way. And as your children get older you start to think of who

My mom and I are very close.. I’m always open and honest with her when im having a hard time in life.. however, a mother always knows. She gifted this to me, and I feel a ton of weight lifted off of me already. I can’t say where I’d be without her continuing support. Isn’t this the sweetest, chat?

3 ways God makes me a better Mother 🫶
No.1) God shows me how to practice patience in everyday moments. A mess is just a mess. Playing the same board game for the 100th time will not kill me. Taking a breath before responding can make the difference between a teachable love-filled moment and full-blown meltdowns. No.2) God shows me
