I'm here to help light up the darkness, inspire, and help other mums feel seen and less alone through my musings on life, motherhood, and mental health, intertwined with my faith and grief. This is a space for REAL motherhood - the good and the bad, the beautiful and the ugly. Here, I promise to be open, vulnerable, and honest.
Here, you are seen, and you are heard.
There was a time when my faith felt like something solid that I could always rely on. I knew what I believed, I knew who I prayed to, and I was confident that my faith was strong enough to fuel my prayers so that God would always come through for me. But then the thing I prayed hardest for in my entire life didn’t happen.
I’ve never really subscribed to a “Word for the Year”, but I gave it a go last year and it went well, so I've decided to do it again this year. Now, I wouldn’t normally share my word or reflections with everybody – at least not till the end of the year. After all, a lot of it can be pretty deep and personal stuff. But then I realised, some of the insight that I’ve gained from finding my word for 2026 wasn’t just relevant for me but could be useful for everybody!
Dreams rarely turn out the way you want or expect them to. Life gets in the way and rewrites your story. Sometimes, it takes you longer than you thought. Sometimes, you have to take a different route or make your own path to get there. Sometimes, there’s pain and trauma along the way. And sometimes, like in my case, it’s all of the above.
Unless someone has experienced anxiety and mental distress, they can't really understand how much it can affect a person. Anxiety has a way of sneaking in your daily thoughts. I’ve been there, and trust me, I’ve tried a lot of therapies and tools to deal with this, but one of the things that really helps me is reframing my mindset by holding onto words that encourage and comfort.
