💛 Welcome Letter – Week 7 · Sacred Spaces By Brandy Grace

💛 Welcome Letter – Week 7

Hey y’all, and welcome to Week 7 of our Nurturing Families journey. 🌼

This week is all about something that many of us lose somewhere along the way — our self-worth.

Parenting can make us forget who we are outside of our responsibilities. Add trauma, abuse, or years of survival mode, and it can feel like we don’t even recognize the person in the mirror anymore. But I want to tell you something from my own heart — you can find yourself again.

Years ago, I had to climb my way out of a life I didn’t think I’d survive. My oldest child and I escaped an abusive marriage by climbing out the back window of our home. I remember holding my child in my arms that night, terrified but determined, whispering that somehow, we’d make it.

In the months that followed, I realized how much of myself I had lost — not just my confidence, but my sense of worth as a mother and a woman. I was afraid to go out in public, afraid to go anywhere alone, and too scared to even walk into a school to try to make a better life for us.

What changed everything for me was a simple class at the Women’s Resource Center.

That class taught me that my story wasn’t over — that I was worth saving, and even more importantly, that I was capable of saving myself.

From there, I started rebuilding piece by piece. I went to college. Then I went again.

Eventually, I earned three degrees while working full-time and raising my children. Every day, I reminded myself:

“I am not broken. I am becoming.”

That journey is why I’m here with you today — to remind you that no matter where you’ve been, you are still powerful, still worthy, and still capable of rewriting your story.

This life changing class I took was the number one reason that I offered to become the volunteer class coordinator at Mothers Helping Mothers.

This week, we’ll talk about:

The difference between self-worth and self-esteem (and why both matter).
How to praise yourself and your children without shame.
How to make choices that build confidence, not guilt.
And how to help your kids claim their own sense of power in safe, loving ways.

You don’t have to be fearless to grow — you just have to take the next small step.

Every act of courage, every time you show up to class, every time you pause before reacting — you’re proving that you are already reclaiming your power.

💛 This week is for every parent who has ever felt small, unseen, or unworthy.

You are enough.

You are capable.

And your children will learn their worth by watching you rediscover yours.

With so much love and pride,

Brandy 🌼
