This episode is especially close to my heart.

It’s for the mothers who have poured endlessly into their families, advocated fiercely, nurtured constantly — and somewhere along the way, placed their own dreams on the back shelf. I speak honestly about how easy it is to lose sight of yourself in seasons of giving… and how powerful it is to remember that your becoming did not end when you became “Mama.”

Your dreams were not erased by responsibility. They may have grown quieter, but they are still alive. And you are allowed — beautifully, boldly allowed — to bloom too.
