My Inspiration, My passion, My life.

I became a mother at the age of 22, It was and is my biggest accomplishment. Although like every woman’s experience, it was such a unique and life changing time of my life. I realized quickly that I was going through things that typical first time moms weren’t talking about. My motherhood journey started off with uncontrollable nerves and fear of failing because of my physical limitations and my disability, Cerebral Palsy. Even throughout my years of having wonderful doctors, preparing for pregnancy and motherhood was not a priority, so when I began my journey, I was at a loss. I had no idea what I was doing, and I’m glad to be able to say now that no one does. The issue for me was the fact that I wasn’t just unsure of how to make a bottle, but I was genuinely scared because I wasn’t sure that I was physically capable of changing diapers, doing bathtime and everything else that comes with a baby.  It was a hard battle to navigate, especially when I felt like I was alone in this fear. Every mother I talked to never had to deal with that and it made me feel lonely in my thoughts. After my early postpartum days, I had the courage to do something more. Not just post content, or videos about Cerebral Palsy. I decided to make an impact on the world by telling my story and be a part of what changes the narrative when it comes to disabled motherhood. I worked on what now is called “ Mothers Inclusive”  and I’m continuing to put in the work because at the end of the day my passion in life is to embrace motherhood, and to share my journey with others who are in the same boat. The truth is, This is my life. My life will always be some sort of adapting, rethinking, reframing. I know I could go on this journey alone, and figure it out myself without sharing, but the reality is that when I was pregnant, I struggled in so many ways and If I could make someone’s story a little more peaceful, I think that’s a perfect way to leave my legacy.
