My mom isn't able to be there for me in the ways that I wish she could right now. And I've been thinking a lot about how when we're going through a tough time, Sometimes all we want is our mom, Right? Or we want the version of our mom that feels good to us, Right? Or that we imagined that we might have. And so we wanted to record this audio for us when we wish we could just like curl up in a mother's lap. And cry and talk about all the things that are going maybe wrong or are not quite as good as we wanted or the things that we're grieving or the things that aren't fair or whatever those things are for you right now. Just wanting to have that mom to curl up into and share with and be heard and validated and seen in. So I wanted to record this audio for myself and for you. So that we might come back to it and know that that motherly figure is here for us and that we are allowed to feel all of the ways that we're feeling and feel the grief and the unfairness or whatever the case may be for you and just know. That we're held in it and that it's safe to be there and that we have a motherly figure who's not afraid of our hard spots. So I'd love for you to. Pause this audio and share with me. What you would want to tell your mom. Or the motherly figure that you wish you had. And then when you're ready. Push play. Oh, Ouch. That's so hard, My love. That's so hard.
