A mother’s month of tiny rituals, honest reflection, and everyday courage.
Why I’m Doing This

Grief has a way of bending time. Some days I’m a powerhouse, flying through emails and client sessions with nothing fogging my brain.

On other days, my only goal is to simply be vertical so I can force myself to take a few steps.

Throw in the brain fog, memory loss, and occasional panic attacks – you get the picture.

We often blame exhaustion on a busy schedule, but sometimes it’s the hidden habits quietly draining our energy. In this post, I’m sharing 10 subtle ways we leak our power—and how to gently reclaim it. These aren’t quick fixes, they’re small shifts toward a softer, more intentional way of living.

Setting Boundaries while I grieve is my way of self-love and care.

As I work, 𝒅𝒂𝒊𝒍𝒚, on simply being vertical, looking for answers, looking for clarity and peace, looking for my daughter to guide me through, I have come to the realization that I don’t have to explain how I feel. To anyone.

The absolute worst question, though unintentional is “how are you?” I do however, answer truthfully every time.

My rotation looks something like:

“I feel like shit.”

“I am super angry today.”

“I’m okay in this moment thanks.”

“Horrible ,but thank you for asking.”

Truth be told, I just don’t want to talk about how I feel.

Carve out time for yourself, thank me later.

Ladies (and gents,) I know life can be hectic, but it’s essential to hit the pause button and indulge in some “me time” now and then.

Trust me. Make it a priority. Make yourself a priority. Create new daily habits.

It’s not selfish—it’s self-care, and I know.

I am still working on this concept myself. 13-15 hour work days, yep, that’s me lately!

Self Care Sunday

“When the past calls do not answer! I promise you there is nothing new to hear or be said.”

I reflected today about the woman in that first post (me.) Damn, I am so proud of her.

As early as last year, I was allowing the past to resurface. That’s on me. Reflection time.

And though I do not collect pound puppies anymore (regardless of their matted fur and fleas), it was absolutely a process with the people in my life.

Building an even better life after my divorce, it was time to be selfish.

“Aliee you are so strong.”

“How do you do it?”

“I wouldn’t be able to survive as you have.”

Compliments right? Everything happens for a reason I’ve robotically said on repeat.
