You give all day. You hold everyone together. And you are still living from a picture of yourself that someone else drew years ago. I help mothers see who they really are.
You are not lacking worth. You haven't seen it yet.
Who I Really Am facilitator · Corporate trainer · Mother
You've done it. You held your face together until the kids were in bed. You told everyone you were fine. And somewhere along the way you started to wonder if you were the reason any of it happened.
I know that woman. I was her.
"It was never because you weren't enough."
CORINA AARONYou hold everyone together and rarely stop to ask who is holding you
You've said "I'm fine" for so long that you almost believe it
You still see yourself the way someone described you years ago
On the hard days, you wonder if you were the reason
You would do anything for your children and almost nothing for yourself
"If two of these are true, nothing is wrong with you. You've been looking at an old picture."
You are kind to yourself first, and the whole day gets lighter
You look back and see patterns where you used to see blame
You catch the thought that isn't true, and you answer it
You find the one small thing that keeps you going, and you keep going
Your children watch you get back up, and they learn how it's done
"This is what it looks like when a mother sees who she really is."
I teach from seven principles. Each one builds on the one before it, starting with Humility, the willingness to see what isn't working yet. You don't skip ahead, and you don't have to hold all seven at once.
You only need to know which one you're standing on today.
Am I willing to see what isn't working?
Can I see the old picture I've been living from?
Am I committed to what matters most, or only busy?
Do my words, thoughts and actions match who I am?
Am I honoring my own rest, health and boundaries?
Can I get back up, and laugh again?
Am I living from gratitude and faith, or from fear?
These aren't seven things to master at once. Once you know where you stand, you'll know what's next.
I teach alongside the Who I Really Am curriculum, a free resource used in 22+ nations. I am a trained facilitator and have taught it in the US and internationally. My work helps you live it in your own home.

Would it be okay if I share more?
I remember the day. It was grey, windy, raining a little. I stood at the window with my heart torn in two, watching our Great Dane in the yard. She was the gentlest dog we ever owned. That day, out of nowhere, she went after our little goat. I ran out and saved him. I have always believed she felt what was in the air.
I won't tell you what broke my heart. Parts of that story belong to people I love. I will tell you what I did next, because you can do it too.
At first I went numb, so my children wouldn't see. Maybe you're there right now. Numb gets you through the day. It will not raise your children, and it will not give you back to yourself.
So I started with my thoughts. When they ran to the thing I couldn't change, I talked to myself, out loud if I had to. I let go of one lie in particular: that it happened because I wasn't enough.
If you are carrying that same lie, hear me. It was never because you weren't enough.
I refused to crawl into a cave, even on the days I wanted to. The kids and I went outside. We fed the animals. We played football at the park, ran through the sprinklers on Old Main, went ice blocking, wandered thrift stores. Most of it cost nothing.
And I taught them what I was learning myself. You can't control everything that happens to you. You can choose how you look at it.
You don't have to be healed to begin. You only have to see who you really are.
