A perfectly failed up working momma with a blended fam of 7 and a man that loves me for all of it. I’m addicted to seltzer of all flavors, and if the house is spotless you know I’ve had a day.
When it comes to womanhood, I believe there’s a desire to prove that we do not fail. That we are strong enough to maintain it all: kids, career, household, and marriage. I lived that perfect life and it was exhausting!
My kiddos were amazing but the rest, was nothing close to perfect. My home was “lived in”, my career goals put on hold, and my marriage was full of abuse. Even still, I wanted to prove I could maintain it all, and it almost cost me my life.
Ladies, nothing is worth your life! I realize that now. Today, I have failed forward into a new idea of womanhood where we accept our failures as growth and seeking help is strength.
