My publisher broke the news to me on Saturday that our anticipated date to be live on Amazon today was a no-go. We’ve worked SO hard on this project and everything was going perfect and then BOOM, Amazon is pushing back our date to be live on their website 6-8 weeks 😱. There was a time in my life this type of disappointment would’ve cued the water works & I’d be ready to throw the whole journal away. I even had to help my publisher work through some emotion lol. We’ve come too far and worked too hard to let this minor setback get to us! My doula mentor @glowmaven brought to my attention that tonight is the Full Buck Moon & Lunar Eclipse (sun, moon and earth aligned and the earth’s shadow moves over the face of the moon). Full moons are a time for clarity and completion- time for release and reflection. So here I am, answering the questions prompted by @glowmaven to reflect on how far I’ve come with this self-published journal I created for mamas to well- reflect on themselves and their lives! 1. What is in alignment in your life right now? The more clear I am on who I am as a woman, the easier everything else has become. I’m learning to hear from myself more easily, my brand is becoming more clear and concise, and I find it harder to find things to complain about. 2. What new growth can you celebrate? Every day I’m exposing myself to MORE. Only to be able to give more. It’s not for my own benefit. Realizing not to measure my success with metrics. No numbers, no dollar signs, no units. Just knowing that I’m serving some one some where. 3. What are you thankful for? Being a published author! Continuously walking in my purpose to serve women, mamas and babies 🖤 4. What has been previously obscured that is coming into illumination for you? My different interests seeming random, but wellness through conversation (podcast), writing (#ForUsJrnl and blog), awareness (Doula) makes so much sense to me now 😇 I’ll definitely be journaling more about this tonight in the #ForUsJrnl!

I got my IUD removed today... And my doc hassled me longer than it took to actually remove it. She asked me 100 questions before taking it out. “Just tell me one reason why, just one good reason”. And it reminded me of the way western medicine is structured. I have my personal reasons. I’m in the process of learning my body as a woman, and other reasons I don’t feel the need to elaborate to the doc I’m paying insurance for to do her job, ya know? NO I’m not planning pregnancy. No, I’m not having complications with my IUD. I just want it out. The beauty of this being MY body is having the power to do whatever I want with and for my body. I’m grateful to be living in a state that I have the CHOICE. Speak up to your doctors, make your own decisions for yourself. Blog post on this coming soon 🖤 • • • The #ForUsJrnl is available in the link in my bio. It will be available on Amazon 7/15! Pre-sale tix for the #ForUsJrnl Release Party will be available next week! 🖤🖤🖤 #madmilfy #reproductiverights #choice
How good are you at investments? I’m not talking about the way you invest your money, I’m talking about how well you balance your emotional checkbook. We choose where to invest every ounce of emotional energy we possess. I find that emotional bankruptcy is the cause of life destruction too often. Folks think I’m “cold-blooded” when I’m unmoved or unbothered by a thing when in reality I’m being SELFISH with my mental health. Constantly check your emotional balance. Prayer, solitude, love, service, accountability and intentional living are a few ways to balance emotional health and avoid emotional bankruptcy. • • • #ForUsJrnl is still available! Head to the link in my bio for your copy! They’ll be available on Amazon in 5 days!!! Also, the #ForUsJrnl Release Party Presale tix will be available next week! Stay tuned! #madmilfy #ForUsJrnl
“Error is human, to forgive is divine”. When I found out I was pregnant, I just knew my life was over. But it was the total opposite. Motherhood has rewarded me with everything I didn’t know I needed. She chose me, so I knew I had to get my shit together. More for me than for her. Working every day to avoid victimhood and turn it into empowerment, For Us 🖤 • • • “For Us: A Self Care Journal for Mamas” will be officially available on Amazon on July 15th 🖤 Check out my newest blog post where I share the journey of curating the #ForUsJrnl, now available at Madmilfy.com (link in bio)
I’m in Day 2 of Journaling in the #ForUsJrnl and today I wrote about learning to hear from myself. My intuition has always spoken to me so LOUDLY! But in the past I didn’t drive that power to trust myself. Now, if it doesn’t feel right in my spirit, I’m off that! If it feels risky but right, I’m going with it 🤷🏾‍♀️ • • • Thank you SO much to those of you that preordered the #ForUsJrnl! @1134press will be shipping them out in just a few days! The official drop date of “For Us: A Self Care Journal for Mamas” is July 15th on Amazon! Stay tuned! 🖤 #madmilfy #momjournal #selfcarejournal #journaling #knowyourself #intuition #newmoon #forusjournal #blackauthors #blackwriters
Do you? Do you support yourself as you much as support, uplift, love on and encourage your friends? Partner? Bae? Here’s my answer... I’ve always been the woman that held space for others but literally couldn’t keep that same energy for myself. I’ve had “friends” that drained me with their needs and didn’t have an inkling of reciprocity. Have you ever built a man up (like you birthed him)? I’d done that too many times. • • Yesterday @erynamelism made a post about making herself believe she was unloveable at a point in her life. I felt that sh*t so deep! When I had my daughter I vowed to get myself out of the dark hole of what I believed about myself. I got cozy in there. That darkness felt good after a while. Have you lived there? • • That’s when I had to kick the healing into high gear. How did I want to show up for myself as a woman? As a mother? I couldn’t even wrap my mind around who I wanted to be for my baby girl at that point. And some days are still challenging when it comes to how I hold space for myself. But for damn sure, I know that I’m more than what my thoughts have been about myself. All that said, YES I’ve loved myself through all my sh*t. All my ugly, all my pain, all my trauma, all my goofy, all my unlearning. And I expect folk to KEEP THAT SAME ENERGY when it comes to me. And if you can’t, I can’t hold space for you in my life. Like Samantha said in Sex & the City, “I love you, but I love me more”. More questions like this in the #ForUsJrnl! Now available for pre-order!

Journaling for me has become such a sacred activity. I light candles, play music, and bring my crystals along to guide my thoughts and words. Before I created the #ForUsJrnl, I took the power of journaling for granted. But now an it’s intricate part of feeling safe in this life. I didn’t know how much I needed this space to pour my feelings and thoughts through ink. These pages go without judgment, these pages have manifested things in my life when I underestimated myself as a woman and mother. If you’re a mother with a mom tribe this is for you. If you’re a mother and a loner (yes, that’s a thing), then “For Us: A Self Care Journal for Mamas” is for you. • • • I created this journal because I needed it. As a creative, we create things for ourselves first because 9/10 there’s some one else that needs it too. I needed organization and accountability- so I added checklists. I needed to humble myself daily- so I added a space to share what I’m grateful for. I needed to remind myself that I deserved SELF LOVE- so I added “today I’ll show myself love by...”. There’s inspirational quotes, writing prompts and 160 pages for you to love yourself more so that you can be the best version of YOU for YOU and your child(ren). This journal is for my sisters & mamas... ones I know personally and those I don’t know at all. This is a gift to US 🖤 I put a lot of love and passion in the #ForUsJrnl over the last year. I’ve been lucky to have a publisher @1134press that supported my ideas (the ones I felt weren’t good enough too) and executed my vision perfectly! For Us: A Self Care Journal for Mamas by Bri “Bam” Mobley is now available for preorder through July 1st. Official drop date it July 15th!!! Tag a mama & follow @madmilfy.co if you aren’t already!
