she is the kind of person who makes people feel safe.
the kind of person who makes people feel seen.
the kind of person who reminds you who you are when you forget.
through the highest of highs
and lowest of lows,
my mom never stopped being my safe place.
she was never the voice that told me I was “too much” (because she knew exactly what that felt like growing up)
she was the voice that said:
you can do anything
nothing is off the table for you
you are allowed to take up space
you are allowed to trust yourself
and because of that,
I always had somewhere to come back to.
even as a kid, being diagnosed with ADHD…
when teachers didn’t listen or didn’t get it, she did.
she didn’t try to box me in, she celebrated how my brain worked.
my creativity, my way of thinking, the way I see the world…
she made that feel like a strength, not a problem, and because of that, I am who I am today.
she laughs with me,
cries with me,
sits in the hard moments with me…
she celebrates my wins like they’re her own.
she is my safe place.
she is my best friend.
this isn’t just about biology.
this is for the women who mother in all the ways that matter.
the ones who remind people who they are when they forget.
the ones who create safety, even if they never received it themselves.
whether you’re a mom, a sister, a friend, an aunt…or you’ve had to become that person for yourself…
you are doing deeply important work.
this world changes when women support and empower each other like this.
so today, I’m celebrating my mom 🤍 and I’m also celebrating every woman who shows up with that same kind of love.
happy mother’s day 🤍
