A quiet moment for the mom who's feeling everything this week.

If you’re anything like me, you’re carrying a lot into this week.

Some holiday joy.

Some end-of-year reflection.

Some mental load that feels heavier than usual.

And underneath it all? That quiet, familiar wondering: Who even am I right now?

In this week’s episode, I’m offering something simple:
A moment of stillness.
A breath.
A chance to feel seen.

I’m reading two poems from From One Mom to a Mother by Jessica Urlichs. Words that don’t try to fix anything. They just witness the messy, beautiful becoming that happens in motherhood.

There’s a line that stuck with me:

“Maybe I have to stop looking for her so that she can come and find me.”

If the end of the year has you reflecting on who you were, who you are, and who you’re still becoming… this one’s for you.

Wishing you a little peace in the pause,
Krissy
