Before you became a mom, you had thoughts of your own, you finished sentences. You had opinions on things that weren't related to screen time limits. You knew what you liked.

You're not asking to go back. You just want to remember that version of you still exists.

Dear Mom, She Exisits Too is an event where we practice being more than 'mom' for 2 hours.

What's actually draining you?

It's not the laundry.
It's folding laundry while mentally planning tomorrow's schedule, remembering you need to email the teacher, wondering if you've already packed their lunch, and feeling guilty for being annoyed by the laundry.

It's the mental load. The invisible labor. The being ON 24/7.

Dear Mom, She Exisits Too is a 2-hour event where your brain gets to just... stop.
No one needs you to do anything.
No one needs you to figure anything out.
Just be present, remember who you were before the mom guilt, perfectionism, and negative self-talk.

Join us on March 5th to connect with other moms who get it.

Time: 5:30PM-7:30PM (CST)
Location: Virtual Link Upon Registration

At some point, “mom” becomes more than a role.
It becomes an identity. A responsibility. A way of surviving.

But I’ve been wondering lately...
Who were we before the title?
And who are we allowed to become beyond it?

I’m holding space for this question.
More soon.

Growing up, I held pride and duty through fulfilling roles such carrying expectations, responsibilities, and unspoken hopes that were never fully mine to hold.

For so many of us, especially daughters of immigrant and refugee mothers, love often came wrapped in sacrifice, survival, and silence.

As I share my story, I keep thinking about our “Dear Moms, She Exists Too” workshop, a space where we give ourselves permission to untangle what no longer serves us. Two truths can exist at once: gratitude and grief, love and boundaries, respect and self-rediscovery.

For moms, you are doing the best you can.

Come join me for a replenishing and renewal online workshop:

These wristbands were a gift from my son, who said they’re reminders for the work I do and the people I support. On difficult days, sometimes the simplest messages are the ones that ground us the most. Sharing this reminder with anyone who needs encouragement today, tomorrow, and in the year ahead whether you’re healing, growing, or simply getting through it 💛

Holidays can bring on so many emotions. Some are celebrating, while others are grieving. Some are navigating major life changes, others may feel lonely or isolated, or simply overwhelmed by expectations. I remember going through a season of my life where I lived far from my loved ones, and how isolating and heavy it felt during the holidays. You may be feeling joy, sadness, anxiety, or even a mix of everything all at once; and it is neither good nor bad.

Here are a few friendly reminders during this season: protecting your mental health is a gift too. Which one hits home the most for you?

“Kuv yog tus tuav lub teeb cim tsim kev” meaning “I hold the light to my own path”. Essentailly, you are the light to your own healing. Sometimes our light becomes dim because we were taught to care for others first, shamed for being too emotional, encouraged to agree passively, to be obedient, and so much more. Some of us learned that it wasn’t safe to let our light shine. When you begin to heal, you slowly allow the light to pour in and start to see what you’ve been yearning for what was once forgotten. You begin the process of unlearning. That part of you holds truth or in Hmong, you might say, “Koj lo lus zoo muaj kuab.”

What are you longing for?

It’s such an honor to be invited as a guest speaker on the Hmong Womxn Thriving Podcast. I want to sincerely thank Ariel for her passion and dedication to uplifting Hmong women during this season. 💛

I truly believe that each of us is guided by our lived experiences we often become what we once needed but didn’t receive.

In this episode, I share my personal story of surviving trauma and what it truly means to walk through resilience and recovery. Healing isn’t linear. There’s so much to unpack, and it takes deep commitment, courage, and compassion to pause, reset, and reevaluate what’s working and what no longer serves us.

🎧 Tune in to listen to my journey of moving from survival to healing, and from lived to thriving.

✨ Healing, Resilience & Community Care — A Conversation with Naree Thao ✨

In this week’s episode of Hmong Womxn Thriving, I’m joined by the incredible Naree Thao, founder of Untangled Minds, LLC, a bilingual and bicultural therapist based in Wisconsin.

Naree shares her powerful journey as a first-generation Hmong American woman navigating generational trauma, motherhood, and identity while building culturally-rooted healing spaces for her community. 💛

Through her work, she continues to remind us that healing isn’t linear, it’s layered, communal, and deeply human. 🕊️

🎧 Listen to the full episode to hear her story of courage, compassion, and care for the next generation of Hmong women.
