Diary of a Thriving Mum

Girllysss, I’m BACK! It’s been a minute, and ohhh have I missed my #MumsThatThrive family! Now, let me catch you up because this past week? Whew! It’s been like finally getting what you prayed for, only to realize—wait a minute, this blessing requires WORK?! 😭

So, I started a new job (yay for flexibility for my little one! 🙌🏾), got a car (whoop whoop! 🚗💨), and then panic mode activated. Suddenly, my brain turned into a financial calculator from the 1800s, crunching numbers, forecasting doom, and whispering, “Girl, are you sure you can handle all this?!” Just me—a mum, blogger, business owner, and now, a working-class woman?! Somebody hold me.

I won’t lie, for a hot second, I had my Children of Israel in Exodus moment. You know, when they left slavery but were still looking back at Egypt like, “Maybe oppression wasn’t THAT bad.” 🤦🏾‍♀️ That was me—questioning if I was really ready for what I had been praying for.

But then I remembered: I don’t do fear anymore. Nope! I took it to God and was brutally honest. Then, boom—God sent a sermon that spoke straight to my nervous heart: It’s okay to be scared of what you prayed for. Just do it scared!

So, I wiped my tears, gave my financial fears and mum-life anxiety to God, and stepped into the unknown boldly. And guess what? My first day at work was amazing! My new team was so sweet—someone even got me food (which, let’s be real, is my love language 😍). THEN, I solved a problem they’d been struggling with for ages while, and suddenly, I was the office MVP! Inside, I was doing backflips like, “Go Ife! Go Ife! You got this, girl!!” 💃🏾💃🏾

And just when I thought it couldn’t get better—they got me a cute little plant the next day! 🌱 At this point, I’m convinced this job is a divine setup.

So, to every mama out there stepping into something new—whether it’s a job, business, motherhood, or just finally drinking enough water—DO IT SCARED! You’re not alone, and God has already gone ahead of you.

I KNOW this is the least I will ever be, and from here on, we’re walking in boldness, favor, and BIG God energy! 💪🏾✨

Now tell me, what’s something you’ve done scared lately? Let’s encourage each other! Drop it in the comments! 👇🏾💬
