Following My Inner Compass: A Gentle Reminder for the Days We Blame Ourselves

There are moments in life — especially as mothers, but really, as human beings — when we find ourselves carrying the quiet, heavy weight of self-blame.

We replay situations in our minds…
Did I miss a sign? Should I have acted sooner? Was I paying enough attention?

It can be so easy to forget that life, like everything in nature, unfolds in ways we don’t always control. Our humanness, our limitations, and even our moments of doubt — they are not flaws, they are part of the beautiful, complex experience of being here.

Recently, I found myself in one of those moments.
I spiraled through that all-too-familiar inner dialogue of guilt and "what ifs," questioning whether I did enough, whether I was attentive enough. The old, heavy energy of self-judgment crept in.

But when I allowed myself to pause… to breathe… a quiet knowing surfaced — a gentle reminder that I wasn’t alone in this, and that my love, my presence, and my intentions were always enough.

It was a reminder I knew I needed to hear — and one I believe every parent, caregiver, and human soul deserves to hear too:

I showed up for my child then, I’m showing up for her now, and I trust that her body — and mine — are both wise and resilient. It’s okay that I couldn’t see everything in the moment. I am a loving, attentive mother, and I give myself grace.

We live in a world that often tells us we must be perfect, always prepared, always in control. But life doesn’t work that way — and neither does healing.

Whether it's raising a child, navigating a relationship, or simply moving through your own growth… we are constantly invited to surrender, to soften, to trust the unseen wisdom that guides our path.

For me, Human Design has been one of the tools that reminds me of this — that we all carry within us an Inner Compass.
A quiet, reliable knowing…
A guide that lives beyond the noise of overthinking and self-criticism…
A part of us that is deeply connected to the rhythm of life, the intelligence of the body, and the timing of the universe.

This space My Inner Compass is where I will share the reflections, reminders, and quiet inspirations that surface along my journey. Some will be connected to motherhood, some to my own healing, some to simply being human.

Not everything here will be strictly about Human Design, but everything will carry the same energy — honoring the process, softening into self-awareness, and trusting that we are all held by something greater, even when we can’t see it clearly.

If this speaks to your heart, know you are not alone.
And you are always welcome here — to pause, to reflect, and to reconnect to your own Inner Compass.
