Oh Esther, this is so good! Yes for Mom’s as bigs but I can also apply it to untethering to “what use to be”, limiting beliefs, negative thoughts, even living from the Spirit as my discovery continues to evolve. Another reminder to be kind and gentle with ourselves and to remember how important kindness and patience with ourselves is apart of this non liner journey. And how kindness and compassion for ourselves comes through us to others. Blessings to all!
Oh, I love how you named that. Yes. This untethering reaches so far beyond our kids, doesn’t it? It shows up in the ways we release old versions of ourselves, long-held beliefs, and even the stories we’ve lived inside for years. I’m especially grateful for your reminder about kindness and patience with ourselves. This journey really is non-linear, and gentleness feels like such an essential companion along the way. Thank you for bringing that wisdom here. It adds so much. 💛
This is such an honest framing of a hard season of parenting "Because mom love does not disappear when the line loosens. It just needs a minute. And sometimes a long minute along with a deep breath." Exactly. I live in that uncomfortable tension between wanting desperately to rescue and letting them figure it out and deal with the consequences.
Yes, that tension is so real. Wanting to step in and rescue while also knowing they need space to figure things out can feel almost physically uncomfortable at times. I’m so glad that line resonated with you. It helps me to remember that the pause itself matters, that even when we don’t act, our love is still very much present. Thank you for naming that so honestly.

Yes Esther, that’s absolutely right. Worry becomes an integral part of motherhood but also demonstrates our deep care.
Navigating the balance is a lifelong work.
