If doing whatever you want alone on a Saturday is normal for you… this probably isn’t for you 😂

But as a mom with a really full schedule, where I’m almost always with someone (my family, a friend, a colleague, my husband) getting time alone on a Saturday honestly feels like winning the lottery.

Like… sitting at a coffee shop, drinking my coffee while it’s still hot, doing whatever I want? It might seem simple to some but for me it’s kind of unreal.

And for some reason it also feels a little sneaky?? 😅 Like someone’s going to come tap me on the shoulder and be like “okay time to get back to your life now.”

I really love my life. But these little moments where I get to just be me, out in the world, not attached to any role or label… I am into them too. 

Tell me I’m not the only one who feels this way?? What’s your version of this!? I want more ideas.

I sometimes think my husband is an actual angel.

If you happen to know him, well, you are one of the lucky ones. And you also know that I’m not exaggerating. 

I always took the decision of choosing a life partner seriously. But now, 14 years in, after many moves, raising two sons, growing and birthing a human, dealing with invisible health struggles, unexpectedly struggling with my mental health, grappling with the reality of aging parents and working every single day to do our best to raise children who will leave this world better than they found it … well, now I can tell you with extreme confidence that this was the most important decision I ever made. 

Your partner is not just who you love, but who you’re shaping yourself and your entire life to become. 

Their vibration 100% impacts yours and vice versa. He has given me secure attachment like I’ve never known. 

And I don’t take that for granted for even a second. 🤍

I didn’t follow my own advice…

I came on here last week and told you to ask for what you want on Mother’s Day. And then I didn’t really do it myself. 😂

And yes, I ended up disappointed.

We were in NYC traveling, and while I did ask for a few things, I realized later I hadn’t actually communicated the things that mattered most to me. I wanted a card. I wanted a bigger gesture. I wanted to feel deeply seen and celebrated in the way I imagine Mother’s Day in my head.

Instead, the day felt a little chaotic, everyone was exhausted, Ama had approximately 473 meltdowns, and by the end of it, I had not had enough alone time that day to feel filled up so it all felt forced and I just wanted to go back to our hotel

The next day, Ap and I talked about it honestly, and I made sure he understood what I actually needed moving forward. Which, honestly, felt like the bigger lesson here.

And the day after we got home, I got in my car and took myself right to the Korean spa for some well-deserved down regulation. And it was just enough time to recenter and give myself what I needed - attention, awareness, a loving and grateful perspective.

Becoming a mom has been one of the most expansive and challenging experiences I’ve ever known.

It has softened me and strengthened me all at once.

Thank you God for this life I get to share with this stunning soul. 🤍

My hot take: The strongest relationships are able to handle the drama.

I think there’s this idea that if a relationship is really good, it should just feel easy all the time, like there shouldn’t be conflict or hard moments. But that hasn’t been my experience at all.

Some of the most meaningful, deep, and lasting relationships in my life are the ones where we’ve had to move through things together. Conflict, misunderstandings, being triggered, all of it. And choosing to stay, to communicate, and to grow anyway.

What I’ve noticed is that it’s not the challenges themselves that cause the pain, it’s when one person isn’t willing to look at their side, do the work, or speak honestly about what’s really going on.

Because yes, it can be uncomfortable to hear things or to say them, but when you’re willing to listen, receive, and share your truth with love, the connection that comes on the other side of that is something really special 🤍

What I hear over and over is that so much of my community is confronted with anxiety on a regular basis.

As a mother to a 4-year old, an entrepreneur with several projects and a woman navigating perimenopause, I SEE YOU and I offer you this anxiety relieving tapping exercise with so much love and compassion. 

I hope it helps you as much as it so often helps me. Xx PS i tap in my car ALL the time and it shifts me so much! Hope you give it a try.
