Mama, This is the Start

Mama, This is the Start

Mama, I know what you’re feeling. You’re carrying a weight so heavy that it feels impossible to even take the first step. The world says, “Let go, move on, just start,” but no one tells you how. No one explains that moving forward doesn’t happen overnight. It’s messy. It’s painful. And it’s slow.

But here’s what I need you to know: this is just the beginning. This is not about “fixing” yourself or finding some magical answer. This is about taking one small step toward a life that feels a little lighter, a little freer, and a little more you.

These steps are not easy. They will take time, practice, and patience. You might feel like you’re starting over every single day, and that’s okay. That’s part of the journey.

If you’re ready, this guide is a place to start. It’s not a quick fix—it’s an invitation to begin rewriting your story.

1. Take a Moment for You

Find a quiet moment, even if it’s just two minutes in the car or in the shower. Close your eyes and ask yourself:
• What do I need right now?
• What is one thing I can do for myself today?

This might feel impossible at first because your mind will want to scream, “I don’t know! I need everything!” That’s okay. Start small. Maybe it’s taking a deep breath, sipping water, or stepping outside for a minute. Small steps are still steps.

2. Understand That Letting Go Takes Time

“Let go of guilt.” That’s what they say, right? But Mama, I need you to know that letting go is not a simple act. It’s a process that happens over time. It’s learning to sit with your pain, feel it, and slowly release its grip.

This takes daily work. It takes rewiring how you think, how you see yourself, and how you relate to the world. You don’t have to have all the answers now. Just know that guilt doesn’t have to define your story forever.

If you’re ready to dive into this work, this is where I can help. Together, we can explore the deep work of grief, trauma, and healing. You don’t have to do this alone.

3. Take One Small Step

You don’t need to figure out your whole life today. Just ask yourself: What is one small thing I can do to shift how I feel right now?
• Write down one thought that’s been on your mind.
• Put on a song that moves you.
• Take a five-minute walk outside.
• Pray or whisper, “Jesus, show me the way.”

These small actions might not feel like much, but over time, they build momentum. Each small step is a seed planted for the future you.

4. You Are Allowed to Dream Again

Dreaming after loss feels wrong. Like you’re betraying your child’s memory. But Mama, your child would want you to dream. They would want you to find joy again.

It doesn’t mean you’re forgetting them. It means you’re honoring their love by choosing to live fully. Dreaming takes courage. Start by asking:
• What would I want my life to feel like?
• What small joy could I bring into my day today?

You don’t have to have all the answers. Just start to wonder, to imagine, to believe that more is possible.

5. This Journey is Yours

Mama, no one can tell you how to grieve or how to heal. Your journey is uniquely yours. But you don’t have to walk it alone.

Some days will feel impossible, and that’s okay. You’re not failing. You’re learning to carry this weight in a way that makes sense for you.

If this resonates, if you feel that pull to start the work but don’t know how, that’s where I come in. I know these steps sound simple, but the truth is, they’re anything but. Healing is deep, transformational work, and I’m here to guide you through it.

Start Where You Are

This guide is not the answer to everything—it’s just the beginning. It’s for the mama who knows there’s something bigger for her. It’s for the mama ready to say, “I don’t know how, but I’m willing to try.”

Mama, this is your invitation to begin. You are not alone. You are loved. You are seen. And you have the strength to take the next step.

When you’re ready, let’s walk this journey together. I’m here for you, every step of the way.
