Your Child is Your Mirror and You Can’t Run From It. Motherhood has a way of holding up a mirror to parts of yourself you thought were long buried. The way your child reacts, the way they express emotions, the moments they trigger something deep inside you. And the hardest truth? You can’t run from it. You have to face it. My daughter has shown me parts of myself I didn’t even realise needed healing. The moments I feel impatient, frustrated, or overwhelmed are the same moments that teach me the most. She mirrors my energy, my emotions, and even the way I communicate. And through her, I’ve learned that the way I react to her isn’t about her—it’s about me. This realisation didn’t just shift the way I parent, it transformed how I communicate in friendships and life situations. Instead of taking things personally, I pause. I breathe. I remind myself that, just like my daughter, people are acting from their own experiences, their own emotions, their own unhealed wounds. Motherhood isn’t just about raising a child, it’s about re-learning how to raise yourself. Have you ever noticed your child mirroring your emotions? #HealingThroughMotherhood
