The Today Show, let's get published & read beautiful essays!

Hi!

I’m so excited—and a little nervous—to share a deeply personal piece with you. It’s about the less talked-about aspects of motherhood I often grapple with, like jealousy, constant comparisons, and feelings of inadequacy. For years, I’ve wanted to write about these struggles, but I wasn’t sure how to articulate my own insecurities and shortcomings. Finally, I’ve found the words to put it down on paper.
