In my life journey, I had the solemn honor of experiencing
the heart-gutting pain of growing up without a mother I could turn to.
Most of my life journey was shaped by a deep, heart-wrenching griefā
of feeling unseen, unheard, and
abandoned by the one that I loved and trusted the most.
And in order to heal and surviveā¦
I had to make the hardest choice of all: To disconnect.
I finally chose to love myself more and respect myself more
than I loved her.
Like many high-achieving women, I learned to survive by overfunctioning⦠mothering everyone else before I ever learned to mother myself.
And for years, even as a healer and teacher, that core ache remained:
Who holds the woman who holds the world?
It wasnāt until I started to channel Divine Mother energy through my Higher Self that
the longing, the resentment, the emptiness... softened.
A version of my mother that was loving, warm, beautiful, and always there...
So this year I give backāto heal the parallel versions of my mother
and the parallel versions of me.
I am sending this loving gift to all the little girls and mothers who were wounded by the worldās old programming,
By patriarchy, silence, and shame.
May we now remember a deeper truth:
The love we always needed lives within us.
This is my loving gift to you.
