Today, let’s explore how embracing self-love empowers us to thrive as mothers, drawing from the lessons in Letting Go. Pour a favorite drink, cozy up, and join me on this uplifting journey to celebrate the power of loving ourselves.
Key Takeaways

Self-Love: The Foundation of Joyful Motherhood
In Letting Go: A Mother’s Journey, I share how embracing self-love changed my approach to motherhood. I used to think loving myself was secondary to caring for my family, but I learned it’s the foundation. Self-love means recognizing my worth, even on days when laundry piles up or I feel stretched thin. It’s choosing to speak kindly to myself, saying, “You’re doing your best, and that’s enough.” This shift fills me with confidence and joy, letting me mother from a place of strength. Try affirming your worth today—it’s a spark that lights up your entire family.
Setting Boundaries: Guarding Our Energy
Motherhood can feel like a constant pour-out, but self-love taught me to protect my energy. In my book, I reflect on moments when I said “yes” to everyone else and “no” to myself, leaving me drained. Setting boundaries—like carving out time for rest or declining extra tasks—became an act of love. It ensures I have the energy to be present for my grandchildren’s giggles or my daughter’s heart-to-hearts. Boundaries aren’t selfish; they’re a gift to ourselves and our families. What’s one boundary you can set this week to honor your needs?
Modeling Self-Worth: A Legacy for Our Children
Our children learn how to love themselves by watching us. In Letting Go, I write about how showing my grandchildren I value myself—through pursuing passions or standing up for my needs—plants seeds of self-worth in them. When I treat myself with respect, I teach them to do the same. It’s in moments like choosing joy over self-criticism or celebrating my efforts that I show them what confidence looks like. On this website, I encourage you to model one act of self-worth today, like speaking proudly of a small win. It’s a legacy that lasts generations.
Celebrating Small Victories: Building Resilience
Self-love thrives when we celebrate our efforts, no matter how small. In my journey, I’ve learned to cheer for getting through a tough day or making time for a quiet coffee. These victories, shared in my book, build resilience and remind me I’m capable. Instead of focusing on what’s undone, I honor the steps I take. This mindset shifts my home’s energy, creating a space where my family feels uplifted too. Try noting one victory today, like a moment of patience or a kind gesture. It’s fuel for your strength and happiness.
Inner Peace: Creating a Nurturing Home
Self-love cultivates an inner peace that radiates through our homes. In Letting Go, I describe how loving myself helped me let go of guilt and embrace calm, even in life’s storms. This peace allows me to listen to my children with patience, respond with warmth, and create a home where love flows freely. It’s not about perfection—it’s about being a steady presence. When I nurture my inner peace through self-love, my family feels it too. Take a moment today to breathe deeply and center yourself. That peace is a gift to everyone you love.
