Last night I had the privilege of sharing my mothering journey with the beautiful women at the Growing and Glowing Pregnancy Support Group, speaking about motherhood, surrender, inner work and the breath.
Motherhood stretched me in ways I could never have anticipated. It challenged my need for control, perfection and certainty, and ultimately became one of the greatest invitations into my own inner work.
As I prepared to share my story, I felt a wave of emotion arise. I hadn’t shared it in quite some time.
And I was reminded of something my mentor once said:
“Sharing your story is not only a gift to others, but can be deeply healing for yourself.”
It got me thinking about the stories we carry, the experiences we move through, and what happens when we’re able to share them from a place of integration.
Hearing someone else’s story is exactly what reminds us: “Me too”, “I’m not alone”, “I can keep going”.
I’ve shared more of this reflection and my own journey with surrender over on my Substack.

Until the next exhale,�
