Becoming a mother has been one of the most transformative experiences of my life. It’s not just about sleepless nights and endless diaper changes (though there’s plenty of that too!). It’s about a fundamental shift in perspective, a widening of my world view.
Suddenly, the future isn’t just about my aspirations; it’s about the world my child will inherit. I find myself thinking about the environment, social justice, diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) and the kind of planet we’re leaving for the next generation.
And it’s not just the big picture. Every decision, every action, is filtered through the lens of parenthood. Will this benefit my child? Will it make their world a little brighter, safer, or more just?
This constant awareness can be overwhelming at times, but it’s also incredibly motivating. It pushes me to be a better person, to make conscious choices, and to contribute to a world where my child can thrive.
Becoming a mother has redefined my purpose and expanded my heart in ways I never imagined. It’s a journey of love, growth, and a deep commitment to creating a better future for the tiny human who stole my heart.
