Episode Synopsis

๐Ÿ™‹โ€โ™€๏ธLetโ€™s be real, mama. Not every Motherโ€™s Day feels like a celebration. Some of us are breaking up fights, wiping tears, cleaning up messes, managing meltdowns, or sitting in silence, wondering if anyone even notices us. ๐Ÿ˜ž๐Ÿ˜ญThis episode is for the moms who felt overlooked, under-celebrated, or just plain weary. Whether youโ€™re a special needs mom, foster mom, single mom, or simply in a hard season, we want you to know you matter.ย Deena and Christina get raw and real about the unmet expectations around Mother's Day andย  holidays, the lies we believe when we feel unseen, and how to move forward by writing a new story. This is a story where you show up for yourself, where you know your worth, and where you no longer wait for others to validate your value.ย Letโ€™s create a new culture of moms who celebrate oneanother and honor the sacred role of motherhood every day, not just when someone remembers the flowers. ๐Ÿ‘ฏ๐Ÿ‘ฏ๐Ÿ‘ฏ๐Ÿ‘ฏย ๐Ÿ—๏ธKey Takeaways:๐ŸฉทFeeling unseen doesnโ€™t mean youโ€™re unloved๐Ÿ’œ You donโ€™t need permission to celebrate yourself๐Ÿ’› Unmet expectations often come from unspoken ones๐Ÿฉท Your value isnโ€™t defined by what others do or donโ€™t do๐Ÿ’œ You can choose to rewrite the narrative and make it beautiful๐Ÿ’› How to teach your kids to honor you by modeling it yourself๐Ÿฉท You are not alone.
