Becoming a mother turned my world upside down in the most beautiful way. I learned to slow down, to see the beauty in the ordinary. Every day is an invitation to gentleness, patience, and unconditional love. I am no longer the same woman: I am more authentic, more grounded, and more open to life.

What I love the most is this magical connection, this unique bond that nothing can break. The look in my children’s eyes, their trust, their spontaneity. They are my treasures. I also love what motherhood reveals in me: an immense love, a vulnerability full of strength. And the fact that I’m still breastfeeding Basile today is a source of deep happiness and tenderness. This extended bond is a true everyday miracle.

I allow myself small moments: a hot cup of tea, a few pages of a book, a bath, or simply a few minutes of silence. Taking care of myself is a way of loving them better, of supporting them better each day. It’s how I give them a calm and whole mother.

The intensity of the love. It’s dizzying, powerful, sometimes overwhelming. But also the inner strength it has revealed in me. I didn’t know I could love so deeply, be so patient, so resilient. Motherhood has changed me forever - and for the better.
