❤️ When was the last time you felt like you?
(Not the “I checked everything off the list” you… but the version of you that feels like home 🥰)
If you’re enjoying the Soul Care Mom Substack I’d be delighted if you’d consider upgrading to a paid subscription (an incredible value at less than a cup of coffee ☕️).
When you upgrade, you’ll get access to monthly Sparkle Coaching, audio coaching notes that will help you step into your most Vibrant self. Plus, get access to the transformational course, Compassionate Motherhood, that’ll help you release mom guilt, lean into deeper self-compassion, and create a life infused with self care. 💖
Hi Love,
Motherhood is full of moments we wouldn’t trade for the world…
But sometimes, in the beautiful blur of giving and doing and holding it all together,
we start to forget the sound of our own breath.
We lose sight of the woman within the mother.
The you before the noise.
The you before the to-do list.
The you who laughed without bracing for the next task.
The you who felt deliciously whole… just being.
And here’s the truth I need you to hear today—deep in your bones:
She’s not gone.
She’s not lost.
She’s right here.
Waiting for you to remember.
Coming home to yourself doesn’t happen someday.
It doesn’t wait for nap time, summer break, or a cleaner house.
It happens in the tiny sacred moments you claim right now.
Moments that say:
“I matter, too.”
“I get to feel good now.”
“I choose me—just for a breath, and that’s enough for now.”
Let me offer you a few ways to come home to yourself today (even just for 5 minutes):
🌸 Breath before the scroll — Before you check messages, check in with you. One hand on your heart. One breath with intention. Let it be a reunion.
🌸 Nourish before you give — Whether it’s breakfast or a quiet affirmation, choose one thing that fills your cup before pouring into others.
🌸 A single “yes” to yourself — What’s something tiny, delightful, and just-for-you that you could say yes to today? Tea alone? A slow shower? A post-bedtime dance party in the kitchen? That “yes” is a portal.
This is the heartbeat of Vibrant Mom Life.
Not more doing.
Not another routine.
But a gentle reclamation of you.
A soft place to land.
A space designed to guide you back—not to another version of “productive mom”—
but back to your soul.
And right now—until midnight tonight (Mother’s Day)—when you join Vibrant Mom Life,..
I’m gifting you something truly special:
✨ A Sparkle Day — my private VIP coaching experience (a $347 value)
→ A full day (8am–4pm CT) of personalized, loving support from me
→ Voice notes, gentle guidance, and deep presence
→ All woven into your real, beautiful, messy day
No pressure. No pretending.
Just you, seen and supported—every hour you need it.
Because feeling like yourself again?
That’s the greatest Mother’s Day gift of all.
And only you can give it to you.
Say yes to YOU + Sparkle here 💖
Sending you Love Always,
Catherine
