You are Enough Mama

Kate 3

To the mama who is scared.

The one who is carrying something heavy. In her heart. Her mind. And on her shoulders.

To the mama who is worried.

The one who cannot sleep.

To the mama who is crushed. The weight of the exhaustion too much.

I understand.

You feel alone.

You are not.

You are here with so many of us. A member of our club.

To the mama who doubts herself. Who researches. Who navigates. Who refuses to give up.

Refuses to take no for an answer.

I see you.

You are enough.

And you, and you alone, are the best person for your child.

I know you feel under qualified. Like you are playing a game with no rules.

Keep going. Keep pushing and demanding and fighting when necessary.

Don’t ever feel guilty for seeing your child’s worth. Their value. Their gifts.

You will figure it out. All of this.

You are strong enough.

You are brave enough.

And no one will ever fight for your child like you will.

So buckle up.

You are enough mama.
