My Mother is My Hero

My mother’s ability to be such a light pulls me through the range of emotions that I was feeling and still feel to this day. But what I do know, is that this is a battle that we are in together. I don’t think that my passion for health and wellness along with her contagious positivity will pull her into a full recovery. I know that it will.

So happy Mother’s Day to all of the strong mothers out there who have overcome hardships and are still putting their best foot forward. You are loved, you are worthy of thriving, and you deserve pure joy on your Mother’s Day.

When I was pregnant, I promised myself that I would role model self care for my little girl, so that she grew up into a woman who also took care of herself.
