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.
Even though I usually write about motherhood, I think my husband, and all the other fathers, deserve a post (and a day!) to celebrate them by themselves! As mums, I think we have the beautiful privilege of witnessing fatherhood up close. We get to see the little everyday moments that don’t always get celebrated.
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.
Next week will be my parents’ 35th anniversary. And when you consider that they were dating for about 12 years before they got married, then they’ve been together for a very long time! So, in light of their upcoming anniversary, I decided to sit down and ponder the lessons I can take away from my parents’ marriage.
Wow, can you believe it’s August today? I think we’re all feeling it – the year is already more than half over, we’re exhausted and likely feeling very unmotivated, and it probably doesn’t help that it’s a cold winter as well! I thought that today might be a good time to do a mental health check in.
