There are parts of my story I carried in silence for years.

Some of it began before I had the words to explain it. The kind of trauma that tries to write your story before you ever get the chance to hold the pen. I grew up in a childhood marked by instability, pain, and survival: molestation, constant domestic violence between my parents, and so many moves that I never got to feel rooted, safe, or seen.

Every school year felt like starting over. Every house felt temporary. And every memory I tried to hold on to got replaced by the next urgent moment of surviving.

That instinct to survive followed me into adulthood. Into motherhood. Into relationships. Into work. My level of detachment is unmatched. My experiences and personality allow me to handle chaos, extreme circumstances and even other people's fears. It all made me resilient, but it also made me invisible to myself. I molded myself to meet everyone else’s needs, especially as a mom of four. Somewhere in the noise of caregiving, performance, and perseverance, I placed myself last. But...

Here’s the truth I’ve learned:
Loving my babies doesn’t mean abandoning me.

The little girl in me deserved safety, softness, and joy. And while I couldn’t give that to her back then, I can give it to the woman I’ve become now. The nurturer, the creator, the dreamer, the builder.

This chapter of my life is about reclaiming my power. Choosing me. On purpose.

I’m learning that putting myself first isn’t selfish, it’s sacred. It’s how I model emotional safety and self-worth for my children. It’s how I heal generational patterns. It’s how I choose peace over performance, and joy over just getting by.

So no, I don't claim to have all the answers. And yes, there are still tender, difficult days. But for the first time, I'm truly allowing myself to create a life that feels good. A life designed by me, for me.

A life rooted in:
🌿 Peace
🌿 Softness
🌿 Boundaries
🌿 Beauty
🌿 Intention

A life where survival is no longer the goal, blissful joy is.

This is my reclamation. My soft life in motion.
And I am really proud of the woman I am becoming.
