Wo ne wo nko ara. Wo na wodɔɔso. Woasiesie wo ho wɔ ɔkwan soronko so.

Hi there,

On Instagram, where I spend a fair amount of time, I see lots of videos from moms like me, assuring me that "I am enough."

Some days I doubt this. Because as a mom I'm wearing all these different hats, hacking my way through new stages in my kids' lives, and some days just surviving on coffee, deep breaths and prayer.

But there is so much truth to that statement: "You are enough."

I beleive that God made you for the little humans you're raising.

You and only you. You are enough. You are uniquely equipped.

And you have a trustworthy mom (or dad) instinct.

On the days that you doubt, I suggest you take a break to read a book with your kids, cuddle on the couch, renew your connection with them.

It's a small thing with a big impact and it can reset your day and refresh your mindset,

Thanks for reading,

Kailyn
