BAKE THE LIFE YOU CRAVE: LAYER BY LAYER
Have you ever felt like life isn’t quite where you imagined it would be by now? Like the hopes, dreams, and ideas you once held for yourself got lost somewhere in the chaos of motherhood?
It’s easy to feel stuck, but sometimes all it takes is a small shift in perspective to see that everything is unfolding perfectly, in its own magical way behind the scenes.
PERSPECTIVE
Life is like a beautifully layered cake—each layer represents a different part of us: motherhood, relationships, work, passions, dreams, etc. Some layers are sweet and fulfilling, while others might feel a little burnt or rushed.
The magic of a great cake isn’t just in the layers—it’s in how they come together to create something whole, unique, and satisfying. But here’s the thing: if we don’t check the recipe, we might be missing ingredients that bring us joy and light us up.
REFLECT
Take a moment today and ask yourself: Am I living in alignment with what lights me up? Why or why not?
1. Grab a post-it note and write down THREE things (your ingredients) you’d love to add more of in your life. (i.e. joy, ease, energy, patience, laughter, play, calm, or "me time."
2. Think of one small ACTION you can take each day to move closer to those goals.
3. Share your intentions with family or friends for a little extra support, and stick the note on your bathroom mirror as a daily reminder of what you're working toward!
Be mindful of the comparison trap—it can keep your cake from rising in its own unique way. When you measure yourself against others, you miss the magic of your own journey. Embrace your ingredients, your pace, and your process—your cake is meant to be one-of-a-kind.
You deserve to feel fulfilled in EVERY SINGLE layer of your life. Maybe it’s time to sprinkle in more of what brings you joy, or smooth out the frosting on a layer that feels neglected.
Life is happening FOR you, not to YOU. Trust that you are exactly where you're meant to be, even if it doesn't look like what you envisioned. Believe in FAITH...that there is a bigger plan at hand.
Remember, you’re the baker of your life. It’s never too late to tweak the recipe.
