Earlier this year, I became a mother after a five-year-long fertility journey. The physical, mental and emotional toll it took gave me a deeper understanding of what motherhood is built on, long before my miracle baby arrived. The sacrifice, the exhaustion, the resilience, the all-consuming nature of it all, and the quiet strength it takes to keep showing up every single day, all in the name of an unwavering, unconditional love that is more powerful and more healing than any love I’ve ever known. I thank God every day for this incredible blessing. It’s been a wild ride to get here, and it’s only just the beginning. 2026 is undoubtedly the best year of my life.
