Blooming Within

Motherhood is a journey of blooming, not just in the sense of nurturing another life, but in rediscovering and growing parts of yourself you never knew were there. There’s no rulebook to parenthood. We learned from our parents, create our own norms, and speak life into our children to shine. Life is like a flower that opens slowly, revealing layers of strength, patience, and love. 

As a mom, you learn to tend to your own roots, to grow alongside your children, and to bloom in ways you never thought possible. I can remember a period where I put my career aside for many years to assure that I was the best mom that I could be, and at times I still felt like I was not enough. Through the process, I learned how to balance my life both personally and professionally.  

It is easy to get caught up in caring for others—especially family—and forget that your well-being sets the tone for everything else. When you prioritize your own mental, emotional, and physical health, you’re better equipped to support and uplift those around you. It’s not selfish—it’s foundational.

The beauty of life lies in how you evolve. Sometimes in quiet moments, other times in the chaos. I was always told that one day I will look back and miss the chaos of motherhood and life during this period of time of having small children. Through it all, there’s an undeniable sense of flourishing, a testament to your resilience, your love, and the deep well of wisdom that motherhood brings. Always remember to take time to water yourself, give your self grace, and cherish life one day at a time.
