The irony of the TikTok you posted at the end and your Substack this week is not lost on me… maybe I thought I knew who I was meant to be… and I was wrong? 🤔

Because you know those littles.. that are so damn hard to raise, grow up to become the most beautiful adults who really do see you and all you are worth.

Venetia, I agree. I know my kids do. Now. But when they were small I really had lost who I was and feel like it was a journey to get to where I am now. But the kids have been there cheering for me. I love that your littles are now, as you say, "the most beautiful adults" who see your worth. That's so lovely.

I feel you, during my kids “formative years” I was so angry and lost and just fed-up with my husband, work, family obligations, holidays, kids sports, etc. it was exhausting and never ending. Now when I look back on it… it led me to where I am and who I became. Ironically, the job I took at the time to make ends meet became the career I believe I was destined to have. The universe always knows better 😉
