One of the most important things you can do for yourself is make peace with who you are—flaws, mistakes, and all. Life will throw curveballs, and growth doesn’t happen without reflection and learning from missteps. But none of it matters if you can’t forgive yourself. Stop punishing your past, embrace your lessons, and step forward with grace—your heart, mind, and soul deserve peace.

Dependable is a word many parents hope their children will one day use to describe them. It means reliability, trust, and showing up when it matters most. I want my boys to know they can always count on me. But I also hope they remember more than that. I want them to see the witty, spontaneous, curious parts of me too. Because motherhood doesn’t erase who we are, it adds layers. And our kids deserve to know all of them.

Conflict isn’t what damages a marriage — how you handle it does. When emotions run high, it’s easy to defend, interrupt, or try to win. But consideration asks us to pause. To listen without fixing. To choose connection over control. After 13 years together, we’ve learned that love isn’t proven when things are easy… it’s proven in how you show up when they’re hard.

What does consideration in marriage really mean? A candid look at empathy, boundaries, and daily choices that strengthen connection and lasting love.

Betrayal doesn’t disappear with time. Healing requires acknowledgment, accountability, and sometimes learning to move forward without an apology.

Motherhood taught me that protecting my peace isn’t selfish—it’s essential. A calm, grounded mom is better able to show up for her child, model self-care, and create a nurturing environment. Setting boundaries, pausing to reset, and prioritizing mental and emotional well-being aren’t luxuries—they’re acts of love. Protecting my peace is one of the most powerful ways I protect my child.

How often do we sacrifice our own peace and boundaries to protect the feelings of strangers? In this empowering post, Blonde Tipsy Mama challenges you to stop shrinking for others and start prioritizing your own truth and well-being. Learn how to set clear boundaries, speak your mind, and embrace your worth without apology.
