I wasnāt planning to write this letter (slide 13), but Motherās Day has a way of bringing things to the surface whether youāre ready for it or not. Iāve spent a long time staying busy, keeping things light, moving around the grief instead of through it. But grief has a way of catching up to you.
My instinct has always been to turn inward when it does, but Iām learning that healing is less about outrunning it and more about learning to live alongside it. And maybe the greatest reminder of that is my kids. Watching Ryland and Ruby experience life so fully has given me purpose in the places that once felt impossible to carry.
So instead of burying it, Iām letting it be part of my story. Happy Motherās Day š¤
I didnāt need new clothes⦠I needed to wear them differently. Round two with @troupe and we turned pieces I already own into outfits Iād actually wear. Full session is live on my Substack.
