I love this so much. So incredibly relatable. I am a mom who also runs a business (from home, so flexible, I am so grateful for it!). And! So often I feel torn between all the decisions. Sometimes wanting to put way more into the creative endeavors. To other times wanting to think about nothing other than being home and caring for my family. Everything you said around people pleasing resonates too. You are so not alone. And I just want to say, as I was reading this, my heart kept leaping with a big “yes!” every time you said something like “should I just sit on the floor with my baby?” Made me think… this is probably never the wrong choice 🥰 Reading your words makes me think that the life we should be living is exactly the one we have right now. Thinking specifically of us moms who are in these golden years doing so many important things. Thanks for writing this. I love reading your thoughts.

This was a beautiful string of thoughts. And so relatable for many, I’m sure. Shutting out the noise and turning inward, tuning towards our God given intuition, really does help guide us to the choices that feel true. We often just need to be brave enough to listen.
