They're Just Girl Too
In this episode, I’m honoring both of my moms.
The one who gave birth to me… and the one who stepped in and chose to be my mom when she didn’t have to.
And if I’m being honest, my relationships with both of them have come with different layers, emotions, lessons, and moments of healing.
For a long time, I only saw things through my own perspective—through my hurt, my confusion, and the experiences I had to grow through. And those feelings were real. They still are.
But as I’ve gotten older, healed, and started navigating life as a woman myself… I’ve gained a different kind of understanding.
I’ve started to see them not just as “moms,” but as women.
Women who were experiencing life for the first time too. Women carrying responsibilities, pressures, insecurities, sacrifices, expectations, and emotions that I couldn’t fully understand until I started facing some of those same things myself.
This episode isn’t about pretending everything was perfect or dismissing my own experiences. It’s about acknowledging that both truths can exist at the same time.
My feelings were valid.
And so were theirs.
I talk about the complicated emotions surrounding divorce, abandonment, womanhood, motherhood, stepping into a role that wasn’t originally yours, and the grace that comes from finally seeing people fully.
Because understanding them differently didn’t erase my feelings…
It helped me heal them.
And ultimately, this episode is a thank you.
To the women who shaped me, protected me, loved me, sacrificed for me, and helped make me who I am—even in ways I couldn’t fully recognize at the time.
They were just girls too… trying to figure it out.
