Rewriting My Story: A Return to Myself After Motherhood

Hey there, beautiful soul!

It’s been a while – and honestly, that’s okay.

There was a time I would’ve started this post with an apology – sorry for disappearing, sorry for being inconsistent, sorry for the silence. But today, I’m coming back with something different: grace. For myself, for the journey I’ve been on, and for the woman I’ve become.

The truth is, life happened. Big life. Big time.

In 2020, I welcomed my sweet son into the world. Then in 2022, life doubled down on the magic – I gave birth to twin girls. Three children in just over two years. It’s still wild to say that out loud. The love multiplied fast, and so did the chaos, the diapers, the noise, the sleepless nights – and the lessons.

I didn’t just become a mother. I became a whole new version of myself. Twice.

Somewhere in all of that – the beauty and the burnout, the giggles and the grief of letting go of my old self – I got lost. Not in a dramatic way (well, maybe in a somewhat dramatic way LOL), but also in quiet, everyday ways. I shelved my dreams. I questioned who I was beyond the roles I played. I showed up for everyone except the woman in the mirror.

But here’s the beautiful part: I’ve been slowly finding her again.

Not the exact same woman as before, but someone softer, stronger, and deeper. Someone who knows how to carry both joy and struggle at the same time. Someone who understands now that starting again doesn’t mean you’ve failed – it means you’re brave.

So here I am, starting this blog again. Not because I’ve figured everything out, but because I’m learning. Because writing has always been my way home. Because I want to share the journey – the real, raw, heart-full moments of motherhood, womanhood, and growth.

If you’re reading this and you’ve ever felt lost in your own life – I see you. If you’re in the thick of transformation, of trying to remember who you are – I’m walking beside you. And if you need a sign that it’s okay to start over – here it is.

This space is for healing. For truth-telling. For laughter, connection, and messy, beautiful stories. Welcome (back). Let’s grow here, together.

With love and light,
Jenn
