REBIRTH
29th Birthday dinner with close friends, I found out I was pregnant a week before.
5 Lessons from my son!
1. I Don’t Have a Clue—And That’s Okay.
Motherhood has been the most humbling experience. I stepped into it with no prior knowledge, no manual, and no guarantees. I’ve learned that I don’t need to pretend or chase perfection. Instead, I give myself grace, my baby patience, and embrace each day as an opportunity to learn more—about him, about myself, and about the kind of mother I want to be.
2. Motherhood is Divine—And So Is Dependence on God.
In the moments I felt clueless, I learned to lean on God more than ever. During pregnancy, a Bible plan reminded me that God majors in the details, and I’ve held onto that truth. From then until now, prayer has been my anchor. I don’t have all the answers, but I know the One who does.
3. Seek Joy.
For years, I lived life seriously, always chasing the next goal but never stopping to celebrate. I convinced myself joy would come later—after the next milestone. But my son, with his endless smiles, has challenged me to embrace joy now. He’s held up a mirror, reminding me that life is happening in real-time, and I don’t want to miss it.
4. I Want My Son to See All of Me.
I don’t just want to be “Mum” to my son—I want him to see me as a whole person. Brave. Bold. Free. I want him to witness me honoring my dreams, setting boundaries, having fun, and taking care of myself unapologetically. I want to be a living example that fear won’t break me, that I can fail and rise again, and that I will always choose faith over fear.
5. Grace Starts With Me.
I’ve always poured into others, even at my own expense. I called it selflessness, but really, I was neglecting myself. My son has shown me that I don’t have to be who I was—I have permission to become who I want to be. A woman who walks with confidence, prioritizes ease, puts God at the center, invests in herself, and believes she is worthy of success.
Motherhood is refining me, stretching me, and reminding me daily of who I am meant to be. And I’m grateful.
Thank you for accompanying me as I REBIRTH.
