Parent's Corner - Find Your Tribe, Laugh Like No One’s Watching – Refresh Yourself, Mama!

Connect & Grow Magazine: Issue 14 October - November 2024

Hey Mama, do you remember the last time you laughed so hard your face hurt (maybe even wet your pants)? When did you last let your hair down, got silly, and laughed without care? If you can’t remember, it is time for a refresher because, girl, you deserve it!

You know what they say—connection is the art of longevity. Our well-being thrives when we’re surrounded by people who just get us. We all need our tribe, those special people with whom we can be our real, raw, messy selves—no makeup, no filters, no judgment—just pure laughter and love.

If you don’t have your tribe yet, do not worry. They’re out there waiting for you! Join a group that speaks to your soul—yoga, running, reading, or crafting. You will be amazed at the joy of bonding with others who share your passions. Girlfriend, these connections will fill your cup like nothing else.

And guess what? After spending time with your people, you will be an even better mama, partner, and friend. It’s like pressing a magical refresh button on your life.

You need people who will remind you that it’s okay to take a break, laugh at yourself, and sometimes just be ridiculous! Whether sharing a funny meme, swapping stories of the day your toddler used your lipstick to ‘paint,’ or just showing up to celebrate the little wins, your tribe will cheer you on.

So, let’s shake off the seriousness and embrace some fun. Surround yourself with people who will have you laughing until your sides ache and your spirit soars. After all, laughter isn’t just good for the soul—it is downright necessary.

And if no one has told you this today, I will: You deserve to laugh until your face hurts. You deserve to feel refreshed, alive, and connected. Now go on, find your tribe, and laugh like no one attractive is watching!

Stay connected, mama. Because you, yes you, are worth it
