WHO OR WHAT MADE YOU A MOM?
I became a mother the moment I stopped making things about me. IVF taught me how to trust the process, stay patient, surrender to the process, and take inspired action. Staying open to the miracles the universe had in store for me ultimately brought Porter to me, but I feel that I learned a powerful lesson of motherhood on the way to get him here.
A RECENT BIG LITTLE MOMENT…
Porter asked me to help with a tricky Lego set and I said, “I don’t know how.” He replied, “Mommy, you have to try. If you can’t, it’s okay, but you have to try,” which is a value we have worked really hard to instill in him. So I tried it, and I did it, and when I showed him the Lego he hugged me, and said: “Mommy, you did it! Could you imagine if you didn’t try?” That made my heart melt.
DAILY RITUAL?
Meditation is non-negotiable. I don’t always do it in the morning, but I always do it. It’s the time that I make space for myself, where I reconnect to myself and with the unseen guidance around me. It helps me remember that we’re all miracles, moving through the days together, which makes the hard parts of life a lot easier.
THE ADVICE YOU DIDN’T TAKE
More than once, I was told to let go. To stop trying. To accept that maybe this wasn’t meant to happen for me.I didn’t listen.On the journey to becoming a mama, and now in motherhood itself, there were so many moments where giving up felt reasonable. Disappointing news. Real loss. Plans unraveling. Exhaustion that never quite lifts. A version of hard I could never have imagined until I was inside it.
There were days I wanted to quit. I didn’t because something deeper wouldn’t let me.What I’ve learned is that what looked like dead ends were actually detours. Disappointment eventually became the best news of my life. Loss made room for miracles. What didn’t go as planned somehow turned out better than what I had hoped for.Now I watch my little boy sleep at night and I know this with certainty: I am far stronger than I ever believed. And I only got here and know that because I never gave up.
THE ADVICE YOU NOW GIVE
Trust the whispers. Take inspired action, but release attachment. The universe always has more in store than we could ever imagine. Your desire may arrive in ways you never planned, and often, it's way better.
YOUR WISH FOR EVERY MOM
My wish for every mother is that she feels held, seen, and guided by her own inner wisdom (as well as the world around her). That she remembers she’s a miracle, that she created a miracle, and that she notices and falls in love with the small moments, and the twists and turns that shape her story. That she knows, always, she is enough.
