💌 Dear Old Me, You Forgot How to Check In With Yourself

You got so good at multitasking.

At balancing joy and exhaustion in the same breath.

At reading minds with a glance,

At being the safe place they run to—Even when you needed one yourself.

You showed up for everyone—Kids, partner, customers, content, community.

But somewhere in the bustle, you stopped showing up for you.

So here’s what you’re learning now:

Connection doesn’t start with others. It starts within.

You’re learning how to sit in stillness

Without needing to scroll, fix, plan, or explain.

You’re letting silence be sacred, not scary.

You’re reconnecting with your own voice—Not just the polished one you share with the world,

But the quiet one that gently wonders, “Where did I go?”

You're learning that self-care isn’t always a bubble bath.

Sometimes it’s saying “no” without guilt.

Sometimes it’s noticing your breath.

Sometimes it’s grieving who you thought you had to be.

You're not just surviving motherhood.

You’re reclaiming yourself in it.

Piece by piece. Breath by breath.

Not perfectly. But powerfully.

So take the pause.

Turn inward.

You’re still in there.

And she’s worth knowing.

Love,

Your rediscovering, soul-filled self 💫
