It’s been awhile since I’ve done a true post! I’ve been listening more, and talking less. Growing, evolving, and changing. Who I was before motherhood, no longer exists, though I love and appreciate her dearly. no longer fits who I am as a title. A concept I created in 2014, when my life was dedicated to the grind, working full time at a treatment center, while traveling the world and going to grad school #1 full time, and throwing in half marathons for good measure 🙄😆🥰I’ve spent my life adult hustling for my worthiness. Trying to “make-up” lost time on the capitalistic developmental progression that says be born and go to school to prepare for work, and live the rest of your days to work, only to rest when you’re near dead- if you’ve played all your cards right and the system is set up for you. Then you can rest. 2023 is no more of the hustle. It’s peace, the divine in me honoring the divine in all of you. It’s sinking in to all the feminine motherhood energy I am, unapologetically, while still allowing you to honor yours- whatever is true and right for you, right now. It’s less coffee, and more chai. And when I’m quiet enough in my peace, stopping the endless chatter of do more, be more, the signs appear. A crescent moon in my golden milk chai this morning. This life is magic when we are quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to anger. More sleep. More rest. More play. Welcome to the UNmotivated method. It’s delightful here. 💜💫💜💫💜💫 #2023

Passed my comp exam to move on to my final year of my PhD program and get my (second) masters degree!! 🤩🥳 (just barely 😅 but I made it) Two weeks postpartum. BF/Pumping every 3 hours. Recovering from an emergency CSection. 🤯🤯🤯
I hope one day you see this picture and you’re proud of your Moma, sweet boy. I hope you know that your determination at 34 weeks to get out of the NICU in 8 days when they told us it would be more, is forever my inspiration. I hope you know that you can do absolutely anything, if you decide you want it bad enough and go after it with everything you’ve got. I hope you learn that trying your best and just showing up are more than half the battle. I hope I can teach you to trust in yourself and your resourcefulness, even when you have no clue how the F&2$&2 you’re gonna find a way- that you will. And more than anything, I hope you know that God and the Universe are always always always guiding you. 💙

Two weeks ago we were in class together as one body on a Friday. That night was the scariest night of my life when we went to the hospital and you had to come early. But here we are now on this next phase of the journey. You are my favorite classmate 💙

Feeling so grateful for this happy little place and this happy little moment. For all the seasons of hardship and obstacles along the way in life, I think it’s really important to share the joys too. It’s so easy when things are difficult, to think and feel like they’re going to stay that way forever. That it will never get better. We’ll never get through this. But for all the people holding onto hope that life does gets better, that they’re not going through their pain for nothing, this is your sign that there’s a light at the end of the tunnel coming for you too. Don’t leave before the miracle happens. Your season of joy is waiting for you. ❤️❤️❤️
