Six years ago today, I was sitting under the studio lights at Global TV’s The Morning Show, sharing a piece of my journey and my newly published children’s book, Where Did Mommy’s Smile Go?, alongside a child psychiatrist on their live segment, “Parenting Playbook.”
And six years later, when that memory pops up on my Facebook page, it still hits me exactly the same way.
I remember what it took for me to show up.
I remember how terrified I was.
I remember the heaviness I carried—the self-doubt, the fear, the anxiety, the butterflies, the pride, the disbelief, the overwhelm, and that quiet little voice inside me whispering, “You’ve got this.”
I still pinch myself today.
Because it still reminds me of what I’m capable of. That moment remains one of my proudest accomplishments—not because I was on TV, but because of what it symbolized. It represented choosing courage over fear. Purpose over silence. Showing up for myself even when it felt impossible.
Six years later, I’m still healing.
Still filled with self-doubt.
Still vulnerable.
Still speaking my truth.
Still trusting that my story matters.
Stepping into the unknown with my whole heart on display will always be proof that I can do hard things—
even when I’m not okay,
even when it hurts,
even when I’m exhausted,
even when I’m scared,
even when I’m still healing.
