Introduction
For many years, I poured out my heart and soul in the name of motherhood. In
the process, I lost myself. After having kids, I faced a series of challenges
that seemed insurmountable. Those very challenges became the reasons for
overcoming obstacles and confidently becoming my authentic self . . . the real
me. My life used to revolve entirely around my children. They were the center
of my universe. I was buried under the chaos that was unravelling right before
my eyes. While I loved being a mother, somewhere along the way, I lost sight
of who I was.
My days were consumed by endless tasks: work, school drop-offs and pickups,
doctor visits, maintaining the household, and juggling countless after-school
activities. But I knew motherhood was an investment. It was a bittersweet time
though. While I loved raising my kids, I didn’t love that I was paying a
hefty price through my selflessness. I thought that pursuing my dreams and
goals meant giving up on my children, which felt like a betrayal of
motherhood. Then it hit me: One day my children will grow up, and I’ll
have to face myself again. Who will I be then? Since children grow up and
become adults, I realized I needed to reclaim my individuality. Buried in all
those years of dedication, I began to see things more clearly: I needed to
muster up the courage to find myself, to become multidimensional, to take
center stage.
We are all called to discover our higher purpose. Going through a myriad of
emotions, it’s easy to play the blame game. Blame the world, blame our
health, blame our past, blame current situations, and blame the decisions that
have led to this moment. With all that said, I have to ask you: Mom,
isn’t it time you took center stage?
This book is taken from the lessons I have learned through trial and error. It
is a daring guide of self-acceptance, personal development, and remarkable
success after having children. I’m here as a woman, like you, who has
gone through some beautifully chaotic and humbling experiences after having
kids. Some difficult growth experiences that have led to establishing my full
identity and, at the same time, becoming a better parent. Not as an appendage
to my children or spouse but as a confident, bold woman who knows and
understands my worth because I have rediscovered myself.
Gals, it’s pretty easy to close this book and move on to the next thing
that calls to us. And with the endless distractions out there, you could head
to Facebook, Instagram or TikTok and go down that rabbit hole. Or you could go
back to washing that mountain of laundry. This is my call to you: When will
you do the things that will allow you to stand on your own feet? When will you
be daringly bold? When is the right time for you? I’ll tell you: That
time is now. It’s today. It is in this moment. This is your chance to
finally become who you were meant to be.
Life is unpredictable, so what I’m asking of you isn’t a cutesy
idea. It is a life skill that we as women and as mothers need to impart not
only to ourselves, but also to our children. Be prepared before the necessity
becomes desperation. Be an example to your kids. Show them that this valiant
woman is also in charge of her life, her autonomy, her decisions. She
isn’t afraid to dream, set goals, and go forth.
This guide is intended not only for the two of us. It is also meant for every
woman who needs to hear that she is enough, that there is hope to learn, to
grow, and to achieve everything her heart calls to irrespective of age,
status, skin color, religion, or any difference that makes you one in a
million. Anything that makes you stand out is your superpower! Let’s
embark on this journey together. I can’t wait to see the woman
you’ll rediscover—the bold, confident, and unstoppable YOU.
