Mom’s worthy:

Worthy of Treating ourselves the way we want to be treated.

My mom is incredible. She taught (teaches) me all about life, and the best ways to show up in the World. Whenever I find myself at a decision point that is weighing on me I hear her voice saying, “treat others the way you’d like to be treated.”

My daughter was born in April of 2019. Motherhood has been as big of a blessing as parents say, but it has also been more of a struggle than I ever imagined. As I have been reflecting over my first year of motherhood, full of wonderful memories, snuggles, and anxiety attacks, I find myself thinking, “I do not want this for my daughter when she is a mother.” I listen to my friends talk about the guilt and fears that riddle their strong mama hearts and think, “She can’t possibly believe that is her fault.” Immediately following these moments I slip right back into the the habit of identifying something I need to do or change. I need to do better and give up more. One morning as I was sitting in the Starbucks drive thru line, my adrenaline buzzing with a simultaneous sense of thrill and guilt as I was about to treat myself to a Cold Brew but also spend unnecessary dollars, it dawned on me, I have not been treating myself the way I want to be treated.

And so Mom’s Worthy was born.

A place for me to share my thoughts, stories, and lessons learned from the brief time I have been a mom. Hopefully a small phrase that you and I can remember anytime we start to feel a tinge of the dreaded, (and incredibly unhelpful), mom-guilt set in. Mom’s worthy. Mom is worthy. She is worthy. You are worthy.
