Life lately has been CRAZY, but I have been preparing for this and these transitions for years.
When I started my own healing journey 5 years ago, I did it to feel like me again and to be a better mom.
Little did I know that healing in motherhood also meant I was preparing for big life changes, the kids growing and graduating, saying goodbye to friends and loved ones, and starting what doesn’t even feel like a new chapter but a new book.
Releasing perfectionism has given me back more time than ever, spending my time and energy with those I love most and doing the things that fulfill me and bring me joy.
Releasing people pleasing has allowed my heart to be open and full, so I can share it with others unapologetically and create connections and relationships that are pure and deep.
With that though, there is more emotions.
I am not numb or suppressive to my world around me anymore to protect my heart.
I live moment by moment, in the present, as I release the worries of the future, and heal the pain from my past, so I can truly cherish and celebrate each child graduating, saying goodbye to friends that feel like family, and starting our new book in Utah as a family.
I’ve cried, I’ve grieved, I’ve held my kids and their emotions, I’ve sat with my husband as we worry together and express our concerns + gratitude, and I’ve also loved more than ever, which means these transitions hurt more, but feeling it all means I’m here, I’m living, and I feel so much peace within the chaos of emotion.
This is healing.
Not removing emotions, but feeling them — all of them.
Allowing each one to flow versus suppress, to be felt but not pushed or raged on my kids or husband, and to truly say, I’m ready, I am here, and I can be happy and sad all in the same moment.
After 7 years in TN, we say see you later, but not goodbye.
I’ve been healing and preparing all along and my heart is ready to grow and love even more in Utah. 🫶
