Operations and Project Management, System Set-UpGangsta and Right Hand for busy Fempreneurs and Mompreneurs

I’ve lost a lot in the midst of this divorce, but what I’ve gained is insurmountable.

I still doubt myself - especially in this space where I am trying to make an impact and a career helping other women realize their worth - AND I’m the most self confident I’ve ever been.

As cliche as I am about to sound, fear will keep you from anything and everything. Fear of making the wrong decision, when you are a single mom, will keep you pushed so hard against a hard edge that it will sever you in half.

I always say it will be hard, leaving my/your marriage was HARD - and you/I didn’t make that decision to crumble on the other side because now we have to bet on ourselves.

What would you be willing to do to wake up knowing whatever comes at you, you’ll handle, manage, make the right choice?

What would it feel like to feel - I mean to the same extent as you feel overwhelm, anxiety, sadness, fear ….. absolutely sure in yourself?

I’m not there yet but I am a hell of a lot closer and this bliss is worth all the work I’ve been doing in silence, in heartbreak, in chaos.

To all the expat single moms navigating what .05% of Moms do - you are a cut above.

As Gabor Maté explains “ Trauma isn’t the event itself, it’s what’s happens inside of you as a result of the event.”

Take it from me who has lived through a lot of trauma and tried repressing it because I didn’t want to deal with it - it will always come back . Always.

Taking the time to care for yourself is the bravest thing you can do. While society has put a negative connotation on the word selfish, the act of focusing on yourself after a deeply impactful experience is the only true way to move forward.

Our bodies always remember, our minds never forgets, and when we prioritize our journey (however that looks because it is completely individual) that’s when we start to unwind and release the pain that’s been holding us back.

That’s when we start being truly healthy.

This is the route home ❤️‍🩹♥️

Our first week in Bali:

From Canggu to the rural streets of Lovina.

Lots of vegan donuts, volcanic black sandy butts, reconnecting with nature, and days with no plans.

My goal of reading 5 books is under way, but maybe it will only be three.

Having the kids experience such a vastly different life to the one they have is hopefully having an impact …. But I’m not the Buddha so who knows?

Open hearts, open minds, and early bed times.

Pink and golden sunrises, matched with equally pink and golden sunsets.

Questioning the unnecessary stress and expectations I put on myself and if it’s really worth it (I doubt it is) - and knowing I deserve this break, without the feelings of being ungrateful for my privilege.

I also just got the iPhone 14 pro max and shiiiittt the photo quality is unreal.

Here’s to the Mother’s who celebrate today with a lot of complex feelings.

To the ones who woke up slowly, peacefully, and with appreciation and love in their hearts 💕

To the ones who woke up to chaos, loud noise, and a household that they didn’t envision and made them feel unappreciated

To the ones who’s relationship with this own mother is painful, perhaps non existent, triggering, full of anxiety and shame, or even traumatic

To the ones who know their Moms always have their backs, that has a mom that shows up unconditionally, who has experienced a life of love and affection - tenderness and support

To the ones who are new to this,or have been around the block a few times. Who are tired, burnt out, at their end. Who wake up everyday knowing that this is what she was made for, who only want to spend time with her kids, who relishes every moment.

I want you to remember , you are doing the best you can and that is enough.

Today doesn’t mark the only day in a year that we can stand up, that we can honor, that we can look ourselves in the mirror and know who we are, it that we can celebrate what it is to be a woman, a mom, a daughter.

Today brings forth big feelings on both sides of the spectrum, but know that we are not our feelings. We are so much more.

No matter what you’ve felt, or your feeling today - don’t let it define you. Your motherhood is your story, your journey that you get to take.

So make it about you today - the daughter you were, the woman you evolved into, and the mother you are designed to be - and celebrate her because there is no one like her.

I wish I was shown that mistakes are the most for sure thing in our lives.

More for sure than love

More for sure than pain

More for sure than the rain in the spring

More for sure than the sunshine on a July day

That the biggest mistake is trying to avoid what is inevitable and shutting ourselves to the lessons that can be learnt.

Full confession found at the link in my bio 🫶🏼

Here’s what my trauma looks like to me:

🫥 anxiety - a lot of anxiety (future worry)
🫥 distrust - in myself, in those who love me, in the concept of a happy family
🫥 loneliness - emotionally, mentally, spiritually (I got two kids physically I kinda wish to be more lonely
🫥 confusion
🫥 shame
🫥 always wanting more or something different than what I have
🫥 hyper criticism and independence

Here’s what understanding my trauma looks like to me :
🫶🏼 patience - like truck loads full
🫶🏼 anger - this isn’t always a negative emotion , currently it’s giving me the ability to trust in my feelings and realization
🫶🏼 inner knowing of why my values are
🫶🏼 reflection - and seeing who is looking back
🫶🏼 hope
🫶🏼 faith
🫶🏼 experiencing true, pure, radiating, incessant love with no expectations for myself and my kids

Always remember after the storm , no matter how long, how violent, how dark - the sun ☀️ will shine again, and the growth that takes place couldn’t not have happened without the rain.

Healing is too cliche for me - recalibrating is where I currently think I am at. If I can see the light, there is no reason why you can’t as well .

I’ve recently come to realize that Liliána is no longer a baby but like a full blown sovereign person. She has her own needs that’s she’s developed, her own feelings, annoyances , things that bring her joy, her own personal interests, her own reflections on experiences and ideas…… and it’s crazy. Like honestly knocked me back when I took it all in.

I’m losing control.

Control of her likes, her moods, her opinions, her feelings, what she wears, how she feels etc. and to be honestly I felt sad. Sad that she’s needing me less.

I was faced with two choices that I think ultimately all parents faces:
Do I meet her with resistance and try to maintain my hold?
Or do I meet her with support and encouragement and lessen my control?

Sounds easy enough …… ahhh if it were all that easy wouldn’t that be a fu**in picnic.

Well it’s not and I’m finding so challenging - and so rewarding. But I am reminding myself what it was to be like on the opposite end, and how it felt to be 7 and how scary and exciting it was. How much I wanted and needed to make those mistakes, take those leaps, say and do the wrong thing, find joy and happiness in the safety of home.

We can stand there with our hand held out but not to lead, held out to accompany , support, and guide. We can learn from our experiences, and have the chance to make the change that you wished for.

This is a bit of a rant, but one that’s been weighing heavy on my heart. So if you’re going through something similar or have this is just to say I feel you, it’s hard, and you’re not alone.

You are more than you think you are capable of.

Habits are conditioned patterns our bodies and minds fall back to day in and day out - because they are familiar and comfortable- not always what we need and want.

She breaks the cycle , you break the habits, we decided what we are capable of .

Not all Superhero’s wear capes. 🦹🏼‍♀️

I talk about the ups and downs of life frequently but keep a lot of the details private because they are exactly that - private. But if you’ve been here a while you’ll know both my kids were born with a rare disease called Galactosemia (affects approx 1:60,000) - and among all the host of side effects there is one that affects women only. It’s infertility.

90% of women with Galactosemia are infertile and go into POI before puberty. The cause …. Unknown.

We were given the opportunity through the NIH in Maryland to have one of Liliána’s ovaries removed and Cryopreserved (frozen) until she decides IF she wants kids. So on Wednesday our warrior went through this procedure.

I can tell you that walking away from your baby in the OR is the scariest and hardest thing I have ever done. I want to share these feelings once I make sense of them.

Surgery was a success and 20% of her o***y is being used for research to figure out why this happens. To date the study has only been done on 5 girls - Liliána officially marks the 6th patient making this the biggest study group ever for CG.

Even if she can not have children she is helping potentially hundreds if not thousands of girls alive and to come, she’s giving the chance to achieve something many never could. And she’s 7!!!

Help me congratulate this amazing warrior, she has done more for her community now than I have at 35. Now we heal, we cocoon, we grow, and we celebrate. We end our year knowing she’s made the world of difference to so many - and we pray that there are some egg follicles in that o***y so when and if they are implanted back she has a shot in hell.

Remember you can’t always see the deepest wounds people carry - kindness and love trumps all.

How many times do you feel like you have to reflect an aspect of pain or suffering you feel inside.

“I can’t be smiling and laughing, because I should be unhappy because of x,y,z …….”

Or how about

“I’m in a place of self acceptance that I never thought possible, but I still want to change (……) - okay wait maybe I’m not actually accepting myself and I haven’t even made progress”

We are allowed to experience both ends of an emotional spectrum simultaneously.

🌱You can grow, and get knocked down

😢You can smile and cry

🥰You can radiate joy and still feel sorrow

✋🏻You can have it all together and still need help

We are Multifaceted human beings meant to feel a kaleidoscope of emotions daily. We are not one dimensional caricatures who are only taught to hurt and not to heal.
