Diary of a Thriving Mum

Hey there, amazing readers!
Wow, it’s been a minute since I’ve written here. Honestly, I didn’t want this blog to turn into a series of “woe is me” posts because, let’s face it, life has felt like a slow-motion rollercoaster lately. But today, I decided to pop in, share a little about what’s been going on in my world, and hopefully connect with some of you who might relate—or at least get a good laugh (or sigh) out of it.

So, what have I been up to? Well, I have been on this personal journey of building my intimacy with God (talk about life-changing), forgiving myself for things I didn’t even realize I was holding on to, and—big one here—reminding myself that I am enough.

Let me rewind for a second: I had to hit pause on my career when I was just three months pregnant. My health, and that of my baby, was at serious risk, so I chose to prioritize us. After my beautiful daughter was born, I started a small business to keep the lights on, pay the bills, and distract myself from the emotional whirlwind I was feeling. But now, I have reached a point where I need more than just “getting by.” I need stability.

Here’s the thing: I am not just qualified—I am overqualified (cue the self-doubt laugh). I have a first-class bachelor’s degree and an MBA under my belt. But after countless applications, rejections, and the radio silence that comes with job hunting, I started questioning myself: “Am I just book-smart? Am I even capable anymore?” Sound familiar?

Finding a job that offers the flexibility to be present for my daughter has been so much harder than I imagined. It felt like every door was closed. But then, God (yes, I’m bringing Him into this!) reminded me who I am. I am intelligent, capable, and uniquely qualified. He reminded me that any organization would be lucky to have me. So, with renewed faith, I kept pushing—and guess what? I landed an interview for a role that aligns perfectly with what I need! I’m walking into that interview with confidence because I know I have got this.

Here’s what I want you to know, especially if you’re feeling stuck: You are capable of anything. You’re made in God’s image, and that means you are equipped to thrive, no matter how hard things may seem right now. You’re more than qualified because He qualifies you. So, chin up, shoulders back, and press on with that badass (yes, I said it!) energy.

This is just the beginning of my comeback story, and I can’t wait to share the next chapter with you soon. Let’s do this together—because if I can rise, so can you. Who’s with me?
