15 lessons from 15 years of motherhood
One minute I’m rocking a swaddled six-pound newborn ; the next minute I’m riding shotgun in my car, that same child is behind the wheel.
How to begin again (anytime)
The time to start new can always be right now, right where you are.
I didn’t know
I've known since that first week when we brought him home from the hospital that time moves fast. Here’s what I didn’t know:
My presence is all that’s required.
Experiencing true joy and connection requires accepting that things will get messy most of the time. At home, and in the world.
I’m an introverted extrovert
I love being with people. And I love solitude. Can you relate?
Trust the maze
Looking back, I can see how that time of untangling and unraveling served me.
Managing anxiety in a crisis
I noticed how these days, even when the view is incredible, it’s not easy to relax.
Accepting the Invitation
One day at a time. That's how I'm making it these days. How are you making it?
The breaking point
That one tiny thing, of all the things, was the pin prick that caused my internal dam to break.
Adjusting to this new space
In our pre-pandemic life, my husband was scheduled to be out of town, I’d been called to jury duty, and my daughter had her state gymnastics meet. And I was trying to figure out all of the logistics.
I’m just a mom in a car trying to give a Ted Talk
Just a few weeks ago, being my kids’ Uber driver was my life.
Our collective new normal
Our story is just one story in a sea of stories. And, the fact that we’re all in this together—that this is happening to every single one of us—is a terrible and miraculous thing all at once.
More Good. Less Grind.
Focusing on what's good doesn't make the bad things go away, it simply points us back towards the light.
What I know now
I no longer believe that I have to accomplish certain things for my life to mean something. I’m already worthy. My life is already meaningful. This is true for all of us.
A new season of motherhood
Motherhood feels like a recipe that’s been passed on for generations but no one ever wrote it down.
