Maybe That Can Be the Narrative

May 11, 2025

What if your mother’s silence was her higher self trusting you would find the words? What if the trauma you inherited wasn’t a burden, but a coded invitation to awaken, break, rebuild—and rise?

It’s not romanticizing pain. It’s recognizing that those of us who make it through the wreckage with awareness are given a shot to rewrite the story. To feel. To name what was never spoken. To heal what was never healed. And maybe—just maybe—our mothers, even in their silence, longed for that.

Trauma is a brutal teacher. But once you do the work, you see: it’s also a map. A gift disguised as grief. And your ability to wake up early enough to do the work—that’s the miracle.

Maybe that’s the real inheritance.
