Years ago, I wanted to help young New moms find resources that I learned were assessable years later. I wanted to create a safe place for them to vent or feel like somebody understood where they came from. And when I say I tried, I mean I tried. But I couldn't find a way to make it translate so that others would understand.
So I gave up, but the push kept weighing me down. At that point, my life was shifting, and I was more into creating a space that felt like a home for my growing daughter.
Each paint Job or decor choice led me down a path I never expected. Who would have thought that I would be into design? I've always yearned for my home to feel warm, loved, and cozy. The same mood I felt each and every time I walked into my grandparent's home.
I started with my room, giving it a more relaxed, warm, Moody, romantic feeling, which started my rabbit hole Of doing the whole house one project at a time. That's when I decided to combine the two.
I want to let other young, mid, or middle-aged women know that it's okay to struggle and that some days you're going to beat yourself up for not doing what other Dem is the correct parental way. But it doesn't take away from how hard you work to make each step
You make a step in the direction for which your Dem is suitable for you.
I want women to know that just b/c that baby is running around doesn't mean you can't sleep in the silk nightdress, turn on some R&B, and do you. You like your weight, so I don't like mine either, but that's not stopping me anymore from feeling good about who I am, what I've accomplished, and where I plan to go.
I am ending it here for now, but I hope you understand my stance and follow along as I continue to Transform my home. As I learn how to lean into this empty nest error and find my confidence. However, that may be.
Comment below if you every felt or feel this way. You don't have to take this journey alone.
