Before I Was a Mom, I Was Just a Girl Trying to Heal

Before Bailey Grace ever existed, there was a girl working two jobs, navigating broken family bonds, and learning how to survive alone during a pandemic. In this raw and emotional episode, I take you back to 2020 and 2021— leaving home at 18, getting kicked out after catching COVID, and being taken in by my ex’s family when I had nowhere else to go. I share the pain of losing the mom I once considered my best friend, the unexpected love that helped me rebuild, and the exact moments I decided I would raise my daughter differently. This episode is about breaking cycles, parenting on purpose, and turning childhood trauma into healing. It’s for every mom who’s trying to raise her kids with peace while still making peace with her past.
