The Unexpected Turns of Motherhood

Because life never goes as planned - and sometimes the biggest shift bring the sweetest seasons.


As mothers, we all have things we do well.

There are days I take pride in the way I navigate the mornings as a multitasking beast - especially when my tasks and errands are done before 11am.

Then there are things I don’t do so well: like pivot overnight when change comes barreling through the door of my life. It’s not the actual pivot that is difficult for me - but the emotional joyride I never predicted.

I often describe to my life coach that I feel like have two brains - one that feels messy and foggy, and another that is wonderfully rational. I’m learning in this particular pivot to be curious in the moments of confusion, and to comfort and listen to the parts of me that feel like they’re screaming for answers.

I’m trusting that in time what’s messy will eventually make sense, and maybe by the time the next wind of change blows, I’ll be a little more rooted and confident that all things are being used for my good.
