57. The honest share I didn’t plan to make, and the truth I’m standing in now

n this week’s episode I share something I hadn’t planned to, but it felt right in the moment. Motherhood has a way of piling a lot onto our minds and our hearts, and sometimes the most supportive thing we can do is speak the truth we’re carrying.

This episode is a very real, present-moment reflection on:

• the end of a ten-year relationship
• why the decision took months
• the complexity of co-parenting under one roof
• the fears and shame that have surfaced along the way
• my little boy’s biting phase and the worries underneath it
• how an unexpected tarot reading gave me a sense of peace
• why sharing honestly has always been part of my healing

If you’re going through something that feels heavy, confusing or hard to name, I hope this episode helps you feel less alone. You are doing big and important work, no matter how messy or uncertain things feel today.
