Celebrating Our Unique Stories as Moms

Have you ever felt embarrassed or insecure about your journey as a mom? YOU ARE NOT ALONE! As moms, we all have stories that are uniquely our own, yet sometimes, we find ourselves skeptical of sharing them. We worry about what onlookers will think and how they will judge us. But in truth, authenticity and vulnerability are powerful, beautiful tools that foster healing and connection. As Brené Brown profoundly states, "Vulnerability is the birthplace of innovation, creativity and change.'' By sharing our authentic stories, we not only heal ourselves but also inspire other moms to show up authentically.

A Little Bit of My Story

Despite having a chance to practice medicine in Canada after years of gaining Canadian experience and passing multiple exams, I made the difficult decision to step back. Who knows? Maybe one day I'll get there. It was embarrassing at the time to give up my career and stay home for five years. I often battled with the inner voice that said, "I'm a doctor; I should be working as a doctor and getting paid as one."

However, over time, I shifted my perspective. I realized that by embracing my unique journey—from feeling stuck and insecure to becoming unstoppable—I could see the profound shape of my world and the difference I was making. Now, I work part-time in mental health and addiction, continuing to serve and help people in ways that align with my current life. Here are three tips to help you share your authentic story and embrace vulnerability:

Tips to help you shift your mindset and prioritize self-care daily

1. Embrace Vulnerability

Understand that vulnerability is a strength, not a weakness. When you share your story, you open up the possibility of healing for yourself and others. As you step into your vulnerability, remember that your story has the power to resonate with others who may be going through similar experiences. Hearing your authentic journey can lead to a collective "me too" moment, where shared experiences foster deeper connections and mutual healing.

2. Focus on the Lessons of Your Story

Rather than worrying about how others will judge you, focus on the lessons your story holds. What valuable insights have you gained from your journey? Sharing these lessons can empower you and provide a roadmap for others. Remember, the purpose of sharing your story is not to seek approval but to inspire and uplift. Your experiences can serve as a beacon of hope and resilience for many.

3. Celebrate Your Unique Journey

Every journey is unique, and your story is no exception. Celebrate your path with all its twists and turns, triumphs, and challenges. Embrace the fact that your story is as beautiful as you are. The world needs to hear your journey of transformation. By sharing your unique experiences, you contribute to a tapestry of diverse stories that collectively offer encouragement and hope to others.


In conclusion, celebrating our unique stories as moms is essential. By embracing vulnerability, focusing on the lessons in our experiences, and celebrating our journeys, we can inspire and uplift each other. Remember, your story is powerful, and sharing it can create a ripple effect of healing and empowerment.

Let's continue to support each other, share our stories, and inspire one another on this remarkable journey of motherhood and growth.

A devoted mother to three beautiful girls, a former physician from the Philippines, and a passionate coach dedicated to empowering mothers with small children. My journey from practicing medicine to moving to Canada in 2014 with my husband has been filled with love, learning, and discovering my true calling: to support and uplift mothers in their unique journeys.Before fully stepping into my coaching journey, I gained valuable experience working with a Mental Health and Addiction Recovery Program for the government and volunteering at my local Crisis Line, including Talk Suicide Programs. These experiences granted me the privilege of connecting with people, particularly mothers from all walks of life and witnessing firsthand the challenges and triumphs of motherhood.
