The First Design of the New Purposeful Dreamer Collection

Becoming a mom made me realize how much I had to work on my own emotions. When I let anger and sadness in too much, it not only affects me but everything around me—especially my kids.

This January will mark a year since I began cognitive therapy and life pushing me to understand how anxiety and depression both for myself and in my life.

I honestly can say I am proud of myself because it has been really hard work, but it’s work I needed to do to get through life raising good humans.

But after all that work, at the end of the day, my biggest realization after a year of therapy was that I needed to learn to communicate and fulfill my own needs so I can be there for my kids. 

I realized there’s a child inside of me yearning for the same love, compassion, and patience my own babies need—screaming inside for help, too.

Therapy is a great tool but not cheap of readily available, all that we need is INSIDE OF US. 

And one more very IMPORTANT LESSON:

It’s our daily self-care practices and inner work that allow us to let go of anger and sadness so much easier. 

Trust me, I still have my setbacks, especially when I’m extra busy, like during the holidays! But that’s when we really need to push ourselves to do the work even more.

It was one of those things in life that was so much easier to see in the outside world than looking inward. 

There was a part deep in my brain trying to deny it—protecting me from all the emotional work I needed to do. But it was necessary and worth it.

That’s why I chose Love is Everything as my most important reminder in life.

When I think about that, I think about my kids, my family, and all the ways they fill my heart and why choosing to love me is the best thing I can do for me and everyone around me. 

They make every day I get in this lifetime a blessing I can’t take for granted. ❤️

If you are a parent, know you are not alone, you are not screwing up your kids, and you CAN do this, that we can learn from our mistakes and it will only makes us stronger.

No matter how old our kids are, we are all capable of change and can give our selves the love and care we need and deserve today, lets transform our world for the better while raising good humans...

If this resonated with you, I would love to hear your thoughts!
