You Are Not Just a Mom🌸 — rediscovering the “you” behind the role

When I became a mom, my whole world shifted suddenly, everything revolved around this tiny heartbeat that lived outside of me. From the moment I opened my eyes to the time I collapsed into bed (and even in my sleep), I was “Mom”.

And don’t get me wrong ,I love being my baby’s whole world. But somewhere between feeding, soothing, changing, and surviving, I began to miss…

The version of me that wrote late into the night.

The one who danced for no reason, dreamt wild things, and chased new experiences.

The girl who had so many names "daughter, dreamer, creator, believer".

Becoming a mom doesn’t erase who we were before.

But it does have a way of putting her on pause.

Lately, I’ve been learning that it’s okay to hit play again.

To read a few pages of a book I love.

To write a few lines, even if they don’t rhyme.

To say, “This moment is just for me” without guilt.

Because when I remember myself, I become a better mom. A fuller human. A brighter woman.

So if you’re reading this while juggling bottles, emotions, or self-doubt, let me say this gently:

You are not just a mom.

You are still you.

You are allowed to take up space on the page, in the mirror, in the world.

This blog is one small way I’m taking back mine.

And maybe… you can too.

If this resonated with you, I’d love to hear how you’re reconnecting with yourself one tiny step at a time. Let’s remind each other:

 "Motherhood is a chapter, not the whole book." 📖💕
