17 years ago when my son was born and I became a mother I had to unlearn many things and relearn many more. I learned about boundaries and the power of saying “No.” I learned to trust my body and my mind.
In the process of keeping my children safe, I found a safe space within myself.
I finally understood the meaning of the phrase, “I will fight the world for you.”
And I understood nurturing in its truest form.
While taking care of them, I also began nurturing my inner child. The child who wanted to sing, dance, play, and express herself freely.
Who was I before the world told me who to be?
My children helped me rediscover that person.
And somewhere along the way, I became an educator, trainer, and speaker. I started Tiny Tribes because I wanted to build my own village — a space of connection, growth, and belonging.
It’s true when I say I was raised by my children too. And as they grow, I continue growing alongside them.
Being a mother is not just a role I play.
It is how I show up in every area of my life.
This video was taken at an early morning trek we did where my kids walked way ahead of me and I trudged along but they also stopped multiple times to check on me. Made me realise how the roles have reversed.
Happy Mother’s Day to all the beautiful mothers everywhere. ❤️
