To the momma who's tired...
There is hope and healing 🙏
💔 This isn’t a pretty story… it’s real, and it’s my story. 💔 (Shared with her approval)
From drinking and ci******es at 14 to six miscarriages before 26 — this is my truth.
I was that broken little girl who never felt enough.
Bullied at school. Chaos at home.
I learned young that love hurt, and pain was normal.
By 14, I was binge drinking and smoking — anything to numb the noise in my head.
I fell into one toxic relationship after another, each one just confirming what I already believed… that I wasn’t worth real love.
At 17, I had my first miscarriage.
It broke me in ways I still can’t put into words.
That’s when antidepressants and anxiety meds first became my lifeline — because I didn’t know how to survive without something dulling the pain.
Between 17 and 26, I lost six babies. Six tiny souls I never got to hold.
Then came the seventh.
The one who stayed.
The one I was told to get rid of — and for the first time in my life, I said no.
That “no” changed everything.
Now I’m a single mum to a neurodivergent 7-year-old who challenges me, heals me, and teaches me daily.
And in August 2025, I finally got my own ADHD diagnosis — and suddenly, so many of my “flaws” made sense.
Some days are still heavy. Some nights I still cry in silence.
But I’ve finally found something I never had before — a community that gets it.
A space where I don’t have to pretend I’m okay.
Where healing happens.
Where women like me — the broken, the tired, the ones holding it all together — finally start to breathe again. ❤️‍🩹
✨ And that’s where Rise & Source came in.
It became the safe space I didn’t know I needed — the one that helped me rebuild from the inside out.
From being constantly stressed out, anxious, and having panic attacks…
From being a people pleaser who felt voiceless and on edge all the time…
➡️ To finally feeling grounded, peaceful, and calm in my own skin.
➡️ To breathing through moments that used to break me.
➡️ To showing up as the mum I’ve always wanted to be.
Since saying yes to Rise & Source, both my daughter and I have changed in ways I didn’t think were possible.
There’s less chaos. Less emotional meltdowns — from both of us.
Our home feels lighter.
My mood is steadier.
My hormones finally feel balanced.
We’re still figuring it out, but the chaos doesn’t control us anymore. 🌿
Rise & Source helped me remember who I was before the world told me who to be. 🕊️

And if you’d love to hear about the community that’s helped me start healing at 33 — where real support, real change, and real hope live — I’ll share it with you. 🤍
Because you deserve peace, too.
And maybe… this is where yours begins. ✨
