M O M - More Of Me

 

 

Motherhood changed everything—but it didn't erase me. More of Me is the quiet corner of my blog where I sift through the layers of my mind and heart, one breath at a time. It's where I get honest about mental health, self-worth, and the slow, beautiful journey of becoming whole again. Here, I'm not just Ariella's mama—I'm me, too. And that matters. 

Some days, I feel strong and grounded. Other days, I feel like I'm unraveling at the seams. But both versions of me are real — and both deserve compassion. In this space, I give myself permission to pause, to reflect, and to reclaim the parts of me that got quiet when life got loud. 

This isn't about fixing myself. It's about finding myself—beneath the laundry piles, the bottle feedings, the to-do lists, and the deep love that changed everything. It's about holding space for the mess and the magic, the exhaustion and the hope. 

 

So if you're reading this and trying to remember who you are, too—welcome. You're not alone here. This is for every mama carving out a little space to breathe, to heal, and to rediscover her voice. 

You matter. I matter. We still exist, even in the chaos. And here in this corner—we get to be more.
