lemme tell you that being a mother has ✨humbled tf ✨ out of me

lemme tell you that being a mother has ✨humbled tf ✨ out of me

in ways I never expected

I'm used to being the business bro

Talking about crypto and politics at dinner (yes rly 💀) Constantly creating biz ideas in my head Grinding my ass off for my business

but then BOOM - out pops the most precious gift in the world

and immediately my social media floods with mum content

but I don't relate to any of it

because for one I'm not a 'soft girl'

for two, I'm the furthest thing from a typical mother

I'm now just over 2 months post-partum and here's what's been the hardest:

- learning to rest whilst being sole CEO of 2 companies - frustration at my body for being weak - navigating work no longer being my top priority

Life doesn't look the same any more, and it never will

I'm currently in a limbo between my old self and my new self - a journey of becoming

and hands down it's the most beautiful journey I've ever been on

By the grace of God I have the perfect environment to discover this new identity: a live in nanny, a house paid for, an office on a beautiful rooftop

(more content coming about living in Bali soon over on my Insta)

so now I get to choose who I become

not just for me, but for my son

watch this space - she's being built in real time ✌️
