"We are supposed to be ascending in our careers while having babies and caring for children while our parents are dying, while our bodies are changing, and our friends are in crisis or celebrating or drifting away while we are creatively stuck or inspired while the world erupts in huge ways. If we’re doing it, it’s so much. And if we’re not, it’s a million tiny failures." It's so much, it really it. Thank you for articulating this <3
Your words about all the things we are supposed to be doing, while the world changes and personal lives ebb and flow, really resonated with me. Well said. It reminded me of the quote below. Thank you for sharing, and welcome back!
"Our next life will always cost us this one. If we are truly alive, we are constantly losing who we just were, what we just built, what we just believed, what we just knew to be true. What I lose is always what is no longer true enough so that I can take full hold of what is". - Glennon Doyle
So wonderful to see your name in my inbox. Thank you for reflecting and sharing and being vulnerable. Cannot wait to hear more and hope to see you in person soon
Hi Molly, thank you for the refreshing letter. Your words resonate with my experience and that of so many other women. I’m grateful you have the courage to write to such a broad audience. We can all benefit from your insights and wisdom in this shifting landscape. I miss women’s spaces - listening, supporting, and feeling supported by other women. 💜🙏🏼🍁
Thank you so much for sharing this Molly - you always have a way with words and I missed these newsletters! Especially love reading your perspective on motherhood. I’ve also found it to be beautiful and a lot all at once. 🧡

Love this Glennon Doyle quote so much! A necessary reminder to the cycles of release & rebirth 🔥
That's beautiful, thank you for sharing!
"Having a baby: overall exceeds expectations and I was skeptical!" Lol agreed! So much of your newsletter resonated, thank you for sharing Molly 💖
Came here to say the same thing! Currently 6 weeks in and it’s been HARD but starting to see little glimpses of the magic of it all.
6 weeks is in is the real deal of it all! Hope that puppy is taking care of you too (or just not being too much of a pain).
When the smiles and baby laughs start, you are in for something truly wonderful!
I mean, 🤷♀️. thank you!!
Yes to what everyone else said but also how dare you incept me with those Freda loafers?!
Honestly, they are so good.
