My Story
Hi friends, my story is a complicated one and it’s one that’s still being written. I used to be an ordinary mother but in the blink of an eye my life changed while I was only 2 months pregnant with my second child. Now motherhood and life in general looks different for me. My journey has included disability, mental health challenges, and learning how to parent in a body that doesn’t always cooperate the way I want to. I now live life differently. For a long time, I thought that meant I was doing it wrong. But I’m not. I am a mother who adapts, a mother who problem solves, a mother who loves deeply even on the hardest days. Becoming disabled has reshaped my life and perspective in ways I never expected.
It changed my independence, my confidence, and my identity. There has been moments that I felt invisible, moments I questioned if I was enough for my kids or if I would ever be enough. I knew the world wasn’t built for someone like me let alone a mother like me, but here’s what I’ve learned different does not mean deficient, it means resilient, it means resourceful, It means strong in ways you can’t always see. I created this space for mothers like me. Mothers who are different, mothers that live with physical disabilities, mental illness, or chronic conditions and mothers who are tired of feeling like they have to explain or justify their existence. This is a place for honesty without shame for softness without weakness for motherhood without assumptions <3.
