Every morning, I wake to many eyes, each filled with curiosity, hope, and resilience. They are my daughters – my teachers, my inspiration, my unbroken girls. Each one carries a story, a little piece of my heart, and a strength I see reflected in myself.
Being a mom of six daughters isn’t easy. Some of them came into my life through love, some through circumstance, and some carry scars that life or others left behind. Some live with me full-time and don’t. And yet, every day, we rise. Every day, we rebuild. Every day, we laugh, we cry, and we find the beauty in the chaos.
What “unbroken” really means
Being unbroken doesn’t mean we are perfect. It doesn’t mean our house is always clean, or our routines always run smoothly. Being unbroken means showing up. It means choosing love over fear, patience over frustration, and hope over despair. It means teaching my daughters that their past doesn’t define them – their courage does.
Lessons I’ve learned along the way
- Resilience is built in the little moments.
- From surviving chaotic mornings to navigating blended family dynamics, it’s the small wins that matter most.
- It’s okay to be messy.
- Life with six daughters is loud, unpredictable, and often messy- and that’s where the magic is.
- Your story can by your power.
- Every hardship we’ve faced has strengthened us. It’s a story my daughters will carry with pride and love.
- Connection matters.
- Whether it’s a quiet conversation, a shared laugh, or holding each other through tears, connection is what keeps us whole.
For the moms and daughters reading this If you’ve survived storms you never thought you’d get through, if you’ve raised children with love despite life’s messiness, if you’ve felt broken but kept going – you are not alone. You are unbroken. Your daughters are unbroken. Together, you are a force of strength and love.
We may not have perfect days. We may not have all the answers. But what we have is unwavering love, resilience, and each other. And that is enough.
