If I’m being honest, I never thought I would be back in this
space. Last week, I had a conversation with my work wife, who is probably one
of the biggest self-made boss babes I know. She asked whether I had ever
considered returning — and why I hadn’t done it yet.
The truth is,
I have thought about it. But I didn’t feel like I had much to bring to the
table anymore as a mommy blogger. Even though my youngest just turned 12, I’ve
felt stuck for ideas. I wasn’t sure where I would fit into the blogging space,
especially with the industry shifting toward podcasting and video content —
formats I’ve never felt entirely comfortable exploring.
Writing has
always been a therapeutic tool for me. I don’t claim to be particularly good at
it, but that doesn’t take away from what writing and putting my feelings on
paper have done for me over the years. My journey as a wife, mother, and friend
has truly been just that — a journey — and I don’t know where I would be
without this space.
So, here I
am. Still a mom of three — a little bit older, hopefully a little bit wiser —
still making mistakes, still trying to find my way. But I’m willing to see
where this goes. I’m willing to share, and I hope that something I write might
help someone, whether it’s about mom life, fitness, or mental health.
And gosh,
I’ve just entered a whole new zone: having an autistic young adult on the verge
of completing his matric finals. If you think childhood is scary, anxiety finds
a new form when your child reaches the point of stepping into adulthood and
learning to navigate the world somewhat on their own.
If
you are looking for a blog space that is both personal and raw, I would love
for you to stay — to connect, to share, and to remind each other that none of
us are doing this life thing alone, maybe you will find a piece of your own
story in mine
