Trust it. You've got this.”

Alisha welcomes listeners back to Beyond the Beautiful Chaos, where she helps moms find peace, purpose, and joy in the mess of motherhood. Today’s episode is for those walking through grief—heartbroken, overwhelmed, but still showing up every day. She reassures them that their grief matters, and so does their strength.

Alisha emphasizes that before figuring out how to show up for your kids, it’s important to acknowledge what you’re carrying. Grief can feel like a weight, and when you’re a mom, it doesn’t stop the daily routines. Naming what you're feeling is part of healing—and it teaches kids that it’s okay to feel too.

She challenges the myth that moms must always be strong, reminding listeners that strength isn’t about hiding emotions, but about being real. Crying in front of your kids isn’t a weakness—it’s teaching them empathy.

Grief and motherhood are messy, but that’s okay. Alisha shares practical ways moms can show up:

1. Lower the bar—focus on connection, not perfection.
2. Create small rituals—like a bedtime song or a quick hug.
3. Be honest with your kids—let them in, age-appropriately.
4. Ask for help—it’s not weakness, it’s wisdom.
5. Just be there—your presence matters more than you think.

Alisha reminds moms that kids don’t need perfect parents—they need present ones. When we grieve with grace, we teach our kids how to face pain with love.

She closes by reminding listeners they are not broken—they are becoming. She encourages them to reflect on affirmations like:

• "I am allowed to grieve and still be a good mom."
• "My love is enough."
