Mother’s Day 2025 feels especially close to my heart.

As I reflect on the past years of motherhood, one thing has become clear: balancing motherhood and work is not about achieving perfect “work-life balance.” It’s embracing a life-work blend where both your family and your calling can beautifully coexist with grace, with flow, and with real presence.

For years, I believed that success meant multitasking, hustling, and doing it all.

But motherhood humbled me, softened me, and taught me a better way.

You don’t need to split yourself into two different people, one for work and one for home.

You can live as one whole, authentic woman who’s called, equipped, and graced for both.

Motherhood is hard. Let’s just say it.

It’s beautiful, yes but it’s also messy, exhausting, and often invisible.

We pour ourselves out, day after day, sometimes wondering if anyone sees the sacrifices we make.

So today, dear mama, I want to remind you: extend grace to yourself.

Breathe.

You are doing better than you think.

It’s okay if the house isn’t perfect. It’s okay if the to-do list isn’t finished.

What matters most is that you are present, present for your child, present for yourself, present with God.

Because when you care for yourself, when you fill your own cup, you are better able to pour love into your family.

This Mother’s Day, may you pause and take it all in.

Celebrate not just the big wins, but the quiet victories.

Celebrate the messy, ordinary, sacred days.

You are not failing.

You are not falling behind.

You are a mother..

and that alone is extraordinary.

Breathe.
Blend.
Thrive.
