[A Mama's Quiet Moments] You're doing an amazing job mama
Ever found yourself lost in the whirlwind of motherhood, wondering if you're doing enough? In this heartfelt finale of our "Thrive Like a Mother" mini-series, I share personal reflections from a week of parenting highs and lows.
Picture the scene: my toddler declaring newfound independence while my six-year-old embarks on her adventure of first grade. These moments, both chaotic and magical, remind us that motherhood is woven with experiences that range from sheer exhaustion to pure joy.
In today's episode, I hope to reinforce the message that no matter the challenges, you're doing an incredible job mama, and it's the fleeting smiles and tender moments that truly define this journey.
I've had my share of sleepless nights and unexpected surprises, yet amidst it all, I find peace in knowing that both the trials and triumphs are temporary. By focusing on the glimmers of joy that punctuate the journey, we can hold onto the hope that things do get easier with time.
So, take a deep breath, give yourself grace, and take 7 minutes with me to cherish how far you've come in your beautiful, messy adventure called motherhood.

Hey loves, and welcome to part three in the finale of our Thrive Like a Mother's mini-series that in here, a mama's quiet moments, and I'm gonna keep. I'm gonna keep this one short and sweet because I really just want to jump right into it and share something that I think, as mamas, we need to hear, we need to remind ourselves but maybe we don't hear and don't remind ourselves as often and that is that all throughout motherhood, all throughout the challenges, a reminder that you're doing an amazing job, a reminder that the beauty of it all outweighs any of the temporary hardships that come with being a mama. And so I'm really just going to just jump right in here and, like I said, this is the finale and I just hope that you listen to this as many times as you need the reminder. I hope that this voice note helps you remember to say these exact words to yourself, gives you the courage to say these things to yourself when you are going through a tough time in motherhood, when you're going through beautiful happy times in motherhood, just to continuously tell yourself how amazing you are as a mama and remind yourself how much your little ones love you so, so much. So I'm going to jump right in. I hope you enjoy and I have absolutely loved sharing these notes from from my very heart with y'all in this mini series and I can't wait to chat soon.
Ebony Fleming:Ooh, y'all. Being a mom is Gosh. I can't even put it into one word if I tried. It's challenging, it's beautiful, it's maddening. Sometimes it's stressful, it's empowering. All of these things, right? All of these things. I'm going to take a second to just let all the mamas know out there that you're doing a great job. You are doing a great job. Y'all know the week that I've had were weeks that I've had, you know. You see highlight reels and social media, right, the beautiful things. I try to be as transparent as possible but sometimes, when you're in it, you don't necessarily want to share the things. You know everything to social media.
Ebony Fleming:But with Henry, I'm not sure I don't know if this is because he's our third one and you know we now have a very full house, you know, and we have a toddler, we have a six-year-old who's about to start first grade, the toddler who is saying no to everything and I want to do it by myself and I love that for her. I love that she is stepping, you know, know into her personality more, her independence a lot more. But it makes things so challenging, right, it makes things so challenging, especially the way, as a parent, where there's no guidebook, there's no guidebook, there's no rule book to say do it this way or that way. You, what looks best for your family and what's best may not always be right. You're always learning, right. So I just want to tell you and say you're doing an amazing job, however way you're doing it, because you are showing up, you are learning, you are being open to learning new ways of doing things, learning yourself and your children, because they're little people too, right, you're doing amazing at processing all of these emotions. Like I said, there's not one word to describe what being a mother is.
Ebony Fleming:As I'm recording this, I look at my little one who's breastfeeding, and he just popped off real quick to smile at me. And it's those glimmers, right, those glimmers that I want to remind you to hold on to, because if I tell you how hard this week has been and it has been hard, it's been a weekend weeks, months of sleep deprivation and not even sleeping through the night, consistently, it's hard, right, and I could just focus on that. I could choose to say man, it's motherhood stuff, right? Yeah, I'm never getting any sleep again, um, but with this being number three, we've gone through this now and it does get easier. As they get older, it gets different. You know there are new challenges, but I don't want to say you'll never sleep again. I don't want to say you'll never sleep again because you will.
Ebony Fleming:Everything is temporary. Y'all, the good, the bad. Everything is temporary and it's what you choose to focus on. I choose, in this moment, to be here and remind myself that there are beautiful things about motherhood. The beauty outweighs the challenges. The beauty outweighs it and even though it's all temporary, I choose to hold onto the more beautiful and really, truly let go of those challenges, because, even though it's hard now, it will always be, and even though he needs me more now, he won't always. You're doing an amazing job, mama. Yes, I need to say it one more time so I can make sure that you hear that you're doing an amazing job and no one else can do it the way that you're doing it no one. Thank you so much for listening loves. If anything in today's episode resonated with you, share it with your bestie or on social media, and don't forget to tag me so we can chat about it. As always, I'm sending you light and love and remember you are worthy, you are enough and you deserve to thrive. Talk to you soon.
