admin First of all, it is a DREAM to be able to be a stay at home mom and raise my babies. But I couldn’t help shake the feeling of wanting more. I felt a lot of guilt and shame for wanting more than being a stay at home mom. It felt wrong wanting both to raise my babies and build a business. BUT IT ISN’T AND HERE IS MY REMINDER FOR THOSE WHO ARE STRUGGLING WITH THAT MINDSET, TOO.
To the mom who is wrestling with the call to be a stay at home mom but also feeling called to pursue a dream whether that be to create a business or have a hobby…I want you to know that you can do both. You are more than a mom.
You are deserving to be a stay at home mom and raise your babies while also pouring into your dreams. You are allowed to have desires outside of motherhood. You are allowed to have dreams, to have goals, to have ambitions. You are not selfish for wanting to be more than a mom.
For so long, I carried around guilt because I know it’s a blessing to be able to stay at home and raise Luke and Levi and so many moms would love to be in my position. I thought that I wouldn’t desire anything else. But when I felt like I needed something for myself…still feeling an itch to create something and turn it into a business…I told myself I couldn’t have both. That was a story and a lie I told myself.
Because I am deserving to be both a stay at home mom
and pursue my dreams. And so are you!
Don’t let your inner mean girl, a mom shamer, mom guilt, or anyone else tell you any different.
Raise those babies and chase those dreams!
Tell me below what makes you more than a mom⤵️
