this book radically changed me as a mom.

Hey Mama!

 In the depths of grief, I remember wondering if this day would ever come.

Happiness felt impossible.

Although I do enjoy motherhood (most of the time), that’s not the goal.

 Last week, I shared the book that helped me find happiness and purpose in motherhood (you can watch it below): 

This book changed my definition of happiness.

It’s not about what “should” make me happy…. it’s about what actually brings me joy.

I’ve spent so much time trying to live everyone else’s life.. that I haven’t enjoyed mine.

So, I threw in the towel… and decided to surrender to motherhood.

• Accepting what is.
• Savoring what’s going well.
• Shifting into what supports my nervous system.
• Actually enjoying what I LOVE about being a mom.

Although I’m not perfect at it, this is helping me to enjoy the chaotic and messy season I am in.

There is beauty and joy right where you are… Nothing about your life needs to change.. just the lens you see it through.

Hope you have a good rest of your week!
