Why It’s Important to Embrace Your Judgments
May 4, 2025
May is finally here — a month of blooming, becoming, and celebrating the beauty of mothers, mothering and motherhood.
Spring is in full bloom, and with it comes a powerful reminder: what’s been buried or unseen — the roots, the seeds, the quiet efforts — begin to rise and reveal themselves. This season of growth and awakening mirrors what happens in our relationships when we slow down and truly be with ourselves and one another.
Presence is the sunlight everything needs to grow.
The greatest gift we can offer our loved ones isn’t more effort or better advice — it’s our full presence. And yet, in the midst of family chaos and daily demands, presence can feel like the hardest thing to give.
This month, we’re exploring what it means to cultivate presence in your relationships — to meet each moment with openness, curiosity, and love.
💻 In this week’s VLOG, I explore how presence can shift even the most challenging moments in our relationships — and why it’s the most powerful gift we can offer, especially during this season of celebration and growth. I hope it inspires you to pause, breathe, and come home to yourself.
Speaking of Presence…
I’m thrilled to share that I’m a contributing author in the upcoming book Perfectly Imperfect Families, launching this Thursday, May 8th!
In my chapter, I explore the power of presence and the one simple question that’s helped me stay grounded in even the most challenging moments of motherhood. It’s a deeply personal story that changed the way I show up in all my relationships.
This book isn’t just about families — it’s about waking up to who you are in the middle of the mess. If you’re a woman at any stage of life juggling relationships with kids, partners, parents, and everyone in between… this is for you.
📅 Mark your calendar — and yes, this would make the perfect gift for mother’s day !
Here’s to being empowered through presence.
