I messaged my friend today and cried.
I cried because I'm tired of feeling all the hard in my day to day life.

Know what she did?
Validated my feelings.
And told me I wasn’t alone.
That’s the power of like-minded women. 🙏🏻💕

Right Now. Today. I'm selfishly the most tired of working hard towards goals, but the progress is slow. Not just physically. All around. I’m giving myself permission to admit that.

Mamas. We are allowed to have our moments. 💕

The truth is, 3 years later and the changes look and feel very different.

Yes - I've had 4 babies. And I love my body for all that it's done and continues to do... ⬇️

But I can't deny that growing into the ever evolving newness of motherhood AND womanhood isn't hard.

It's SO HARD some days.
Doing what we do is a daily sacrifice from the inside out. And I admit it!
There are days it wears on me big time.

The journey to true, whole, sustainable wellness is a NEVER ENDING process. A lot of learning and unlearning. A mix of HARD work, HEART work and BOUNDARIES.
That's for sure.

I share my truth because I know you're a mom that needs to hear this.
I know you're a mom that FEELS the overwhelm.
The hard and the sacrifice isn't easy.
Some days - it just plain sucks.

But know this....

Even in the suck.
That doesn't mean we quit.
Or throw in the towel.
Pretend our needs are irrelevant.
And forget our goals, dreams and vision related to what we want for ourselves ALONGSIDE our families.

It's OK to acknowledge the hard.
And be a little selfish.
Then lean into evolving our effort as we walk this journey. Together.

We are women before our other roles.
We are women with our own "things" we want to work on.
That’s VALID.
Let this be your permission -
You are allowed to (and should!) work on yourself - physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually.

One day at a time - I'm diving deeper into acceptance, self-love and really finding that comfortable place for my mind, body and soul.
