2023 Mama Manifesto
Dear Mama,
What if this was the year you found yourself again?
What if it was the year…
You dug deep
You asked questions
You found joy, again, just for you
What if instead of saying yes to every obligation, you said no and made space
Space to enjoy the little moments
Space for your imagination
Space to relax & space to dream
What if, by creating this space, you found room to ask
What can I put down?
What matters most to me?
How can I get to a place of being more fulfilled
What if you made it a priority to find a rhythm that fulfills you without sacrificing the love you give your family and friends
What if you lessened the pressure?
Lessened the load?
Lessened the noise from the voices of others?
What if you committed to finding a way, rather than an excuse?
What if you prioritized yourself?
What if you spoke up instead of sitting in silence or shame?
What if you stopped shaming yourself because of the expectations of others and started to write your own script for your days?
What if you realized - this is what you were after all along?
And what if I told you there is a way?
You deserve this, mama. More than anyone in this world, you give every day.
You deserve to feel seen and loved, and fulfilled.
It won’t be easy - you’ll stumble, you’ll disappoint people, and you’ll question the process.
You’ll feel like its an uphill battle, and not everyone will understand
You’ll think it's impossible.
But if you start to open up your mind.
If you start to go against the grain.
You’ll start to see the way.
It starts with you, mama.
It starts with telling yourself that you are worth it.
It starts by telling yourself that you believe it's possible.
It starts in your mind.
It starts by asking these questions and more.
It starts by seeing resistance as a chance to look at alternatives, not roadblocks.
Once you start asking these questions, you will be amazed at how your perspective will change, and your mind will open up to new possibilities.

Which one of these questions did you find most empowering after reading this?
I’d love to have you share it with me via my Instagram DM’s so we can continue the conversation.
I’m building a community of ambitious women who support each other in pursuing our biggest boldest dreams and I hope you will come along for the wild ride.
