Hello, again, fam.

Hope this helps a little.

Love,Your Mom

Good morning, fam.

This is your mom.

And today I just wanted to talk to you about your sensitivity and how some people talk about that sensitivity being over sensitivity and how your over sensitivity is a weakness, that you should just get over it.

What I want to start with is to let you know you aren't overreacting. When you have these big feels, when you feel overwhelmed, that is you being crammed into their little boxes for far too long. Those lids, they're popping off, or they're leaking memories and trauma.

Being sensitive isn't weakness. Being sensitive means there are things you need to address to get out of that box, so they will no longer fester within it with you.

Now, sometimes it’s harder, because the people around you, those people who don’t understand what you’re going through, they’re holding that lid down. They’re forcing you within those confines, within those four walls.

And yeah, it’s wrong, especially when they’re telling you that you are wrong, that your existence is wrong, and ‘why can’t you just be like everyone else?’

Of course, if you’ve been following me for any amount of time, you know that that in itself is a big lie. Everybody else struggles, even those people who are trying to make you “normal”. You are just like everybody else.

Your quirks just may be different. Your trauma and how you react to your trauma is different. But being human, being affected, those are the same, and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

So I want you to think about that.

The next time someone tells you that you’re too sensitive, that you need to grow a thicker skin, they don’t know what they’re talking about. What they’re actually telling you is that they are unwilling to accomodate you to create an environment, much less a world, that is safer for you, so you don’t have to be overwhelmed by it.

They would rather not do that work and force you back into that box where you will do what they want, react how they want, conform to what they want. And that’s wrong. You deserve better just for waking up today.

Sensitivity, your reaction to the world, is not a weakness. It is a reality.

Does that mean that you should not evolve or work through some of the trauma?

Absolutely not.

I tell you all the time that evolution is part of the human existence. But you can't do that, not realistically, if other people are forcing you to do it. You have to be able to do it in a safe environment because you want to change, not because you have to change to survive.

And we'll talk about that, okay? We’ll talk about how you can differentiate between evolution and survival.

Thanks for coming today.

Thanks for listening.

I hope this at least gave you a little bit of hope so that you understand what's going on in your world. Your sensitivity, my friend, my family, isn't a weakness. And I'll remind you of that every day until you remember yourself.

Until next time.

Love you,Your mom.

Bye.

Just wanted to pop in for a minute wroth some thoughts.

Love,

Your Mom

Good morning, fam.

This is your internet mom speaking.

On this Wednesday, we do podcasts.

And today, I want you to start with a little exercise.

So wherever you are, sit up in your chair, on the floor, in your bed, back straight, shoulders back. Now lift your arms above your head until your fingers touch.

Now, with your palms flat and your fingers touching, you're going to bring that straight down to the middle of your chest, keeping your arms parallel to the ground.

While you do that, you're going to press your fingers together, press your palms together and hold it for five, four, three, two, one.

Then you're going to pull your shoulders forward and your arms back and you should feel a nice stretch in your upper back.

Hold this again for 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

Now lace your fingers together, push them out straight in front of you.

Hold that for 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 and release.

Now repeat after me:

I woke up worthy today

I woke up worthy of love and respect

I woke up worthy of love and respect just the way I am

I deserve happiness

I deserve love

I am worthy

Now let's talk about today.

Today is the last Wednesday in March.

Anyone else feel like this year is going really quickly but at the same time really slowly?

That's definitely how I feel.

And I just wanted to let you know that how you feel about your day can make a huge difference in how your day unfolds.

One of the issues that I find that I have is when I'm having a bad day or I'm thinking poorly of myself, I see the signs from the universe that pretty much confirm that, but I've realized recently that while I'm so busy looking for signs to confirm my worthlessness, confirm my unlovableness, to confirm the idea that no one should be around me and I should be alone, I'm missing all the signs that say it's okay, that I am allowed to feel sad for a day or two.

I am allowed the time to process these feelings, because what do I tell you all the time?

These big feelings that you don't know what to do with that feel like they are contributing directly to your self-worth, they are lies from people in your past who were supposed to take care of you.

I hope you go through the rest of this week with a really happy—but not like that toxic happy unless you're one of my very happy positive perky kids and then you do you boo—but try and look for the little good signs.

Because this week we're talking about making baby steps towards progress and learning to seek out positive reinforcement even if it's just a butterfly that appeared out of nowhere or you know you seeing someone being nice or you know getting to pet a dog these things count as progress and you are worthy of progress

I should know.

I'm your mom.

Until next Wednesday, I love you. Drink water, take your meds if you got them, and we'll talk again soon.

Love,Mom

Good Morning, fam, this is your internet mom with your Daily Mom Hug.

I just wanted to touch base with you this Wednesday morning and let you know that I am thinking about you and that you woke up worthy of love and respect this morning.

As we continue our way through 2024, I know that it can be really easy to get stuck in what's going on in the world.

To be fair, there's a lot going on in the world right now.

However, there is nothing wrong with stepping back away from all the chaos for a break.

You alone cannot fix what's going on in Palestine, what's going on in Ukraine, what's going on with the wealth inequality here in the United States, among the other problems that we have here.

And it is not solely on your shoulders to fix it.

Now, of course, if you can help and donate and whether it's money or time, that's fantastic.

But it's also fantastic for your sanity to not be fully engaged 100% of the time.

Everybody needs a break.

And if anyone gives you crap about that, you let them know that your mom said you could

I'm going to try to make Wednesdays audio podcast days as I try to get this thing, this, um, sub stack back off the ground.

I appreciate all you guys do.

And every time you share, uh, with your friends and family, um, I get a little heart flutter, nothing my doctors worried about, but love from you guys.

Okay.

So we're halfway through the week.

You Have My Permission to Take a Break.

Please take your meds if you have meds.

Please drink your water.

And I will see you next Wednesday.

Bye.

Love, Mom

Good morning, fam.

Today we should talk about, well, family. If you’re following me, then there’s a really good chance that the family you were born into wasn’t ideal. They weren’t supportive. They didn’t see you. They were toxic and laid the groundwork for your childhood trauma, and when you called them out, they gaslit you.

But it still hurts when the people who are supposed to love you, don’t. And every little (and not so little) slight feels like they’re ripping off the scabs over the scars they carved into your heart.

I am here to let you know that you are worthy.

You are loving.

You are loveable.

You are loved.

The family you cultivated around you sees you. That includes me, your internet mom.

We love you just the way you are.

You belong with us on purpose, not by the incident of your birth.

We have no requirements for entrance into our family.

And our love for you is unconditional.

Save this whenever you need the reminder.

Love,Your Mom

Good morning, fam.

This is Your Mom. Please join me in a breathing exercise.

I use this breathing method when I get overwhelmed. What we're going to do is we're going to count each breath coming in, going out. We're going to count to 10. We're going to count backwards from 10.

But you have to start over every time you get distracted from counting and breathing. And it's going to be frustrating when you first start, but I promise that once you get the hang of it, that you will use it to help you be able to refocus, okay?

So, like I said, when you breathe in, one.

Breathe out, two.

Breathe in, three.

Breathe out, four.

Breathe in, five.

Breathe out, six.

Breathe in, seven.

Breathe out, eight.

Breathe in, nine.

Breathe out, ten.

Breathe in, ten.

Breathe out, nine.

Breathe in, eight.

Breathe out, seven.

Breathe in, six.

Breathe out, five.

Breathe in, four.

Breathe out, three.

Breathe in, two.

Breathe out, one.

And do this as many times as you need.

I also do this when I wake up in the middle of the night, especially if I've woken up from a bad dream or anxiety. This helps me focus on getting back to sleep and quieting my mind so that I can do what I need to do.

I hope this helped for you today. Let me know.

And of course with all my podcasts, you can download it for use offline.

I appreciate all your support over the last few months. and I'm getting into the habit of posting daily and I hope to post more podcasts for you.

Let me know also if you've been enjoying your Daily Mom Hugs. I just wanted to give you guys something to look forward to every day.

And me, helping you, helps me. Have a good Monday, guys.

Until Wednesday.

Love,Your Mom

Just your daily reminder that you do not owe anybody trauma porn to be worthy to access services and assistance.

Love,

Your Mom
