Mom, I feel bad for you…

“Mom, I feel bad for you.” Said my 13 year old daughter as I counted out my supplements for the day.

“Why?” I asked.

“Because you can’t eat anything you want. Why are you even doing this program?”

I stood there for a moment deciding what to say next.

“Even though part of me doesn’t want to do this program and I would be totally content otherwise; I’m curious with what I’ll learn. I’m not doing it against my will; I’m just uncomfortable. And being uncomfortable is okay.”

As she sat there marinating on my words, I reminded myself of the incredible role I get to play in the lives of my children as their mother. And as I continue to move through not just this 60- day detox and gut repair program, but life as well, I know there are little eyes watching my every move.

And so, I show up as I do everyday, for me AND my kids.
