55 | I Didn’t Always Feel Happy on Mother’s Day

Mother’s Day wasn’t always a holiday I could genuinely celebrate.For much of my life, my relationship with my mom carried a lot of hurt, anger, and unresolved emotions. And for years, I viewed my story through that pain. But over the last decade of therapy, healing, and personal growth, I slowly began to realize something: healing didn’t mean rewriting my story—it meant learning how to stop living trapped inside of it. In this episode, I’m sharing my honest journey with motherhood, forgiveness, healing, and what it has looked like to rebuild my relationship with my mom over time.We talk about: Healing from childhood pain  Letting go of anger while still honoring your truth  The complicated emotions surrounding Mother’s Day  Guilt, expectations, and wanting peace as a mom  The women who become “mothers” to us even when they aren’t biologically ours  Learning to lead with love instead of staying stuck in resentment This episode is for: the daughters still healing  the moms carrying guilt  the women longing to become mothers  and anyone learning how to move from hurt toward healing Because sometimes the most powerful thing we can do… is choose to love anyway.Happy Mother’s Day to every woman who nurtures, guides, supports, and shows up for others in ways the world may never fully see.📬 PO Box: 457 Green, Ohio 44232
