Hi, I’m Abi, and this blog is where I’m learning and unlearning my way back to my truest self.
For most of my life, I was a “fawner.” I said yes when I wanted to say no. I stayed quiet to keep the peace. I shrunk myself to fit what others expected of me, or what I thought they needed me to be.
But something shifted when I became a mother.
Raising two young children cracked me open in ways I never expected. I started to see how much I had buried — my voice, my needs, my boundaries. And I realized something: I can’t raise bold, secure, emotionally honest children if I’m still living from fear, guilt, or approval-seeking.
I started doing the work.
This space is my journal, my mirror, and my declaration. I’m becoming fearlessly me. Not perfect, not hardened, but confident, kind, and unapologetically real.
Here, I’ll share the moments, memories, and mindset shifts that shaped me — and the ones I’m outgrowing. You’ll find reflections on healing, motherhood, identity, relationships, boundaries, self-worth, and learning to take up space without shame.
I’m still soft, but I’m not small anymore.
Thank you for being here. I’m so glad.
