Week 1 of 8 Challenge: Reconnect with You
This week’s ritual + doable challenge starts now and paid subs get a calming lock screen wallpaper to carry the affirmation with them all week.
Hi mama,
One morning, brushing my teeth, I caught my reflection and paused.
Something about her looked… different.
Not tired. Not sad.
Just missing.
I stared at the woman in the mirror, and I couldn’t see the girl who once stayed up dancing past midnight, or the woman who scribbled journal entries like her life depended on it.
That moment was quiet but it cracked something open in me.
Because that’s when I realized:
I hadn’t felt like me in a very long time.
This Week’s Ritual: Identity Reconnection
Let’s start slow.
Let’s begin not by fixing ourselves, but by remembering ourselves.
Find a quiet moment today. Light a candle if you want. Breathe. Then write these down (in your journal or even your Notes app):
1. Before I became a mother, I felt most alive when…
2. Three parts of me I want to bring back are…
3. If I met the old me now, what would I tell her?
You’re not broken. You’re not behind.
You’re just remembering who you were… so you can bring her forward.
