Hi 👋 I’m Leelia
If you’re new here, welcome to my space. I’m a single mama to two beautiful girls, living with intention, faith, and a heart that’s been through a lot, but still chooses softness.
April was an emotionally heavy month for me. I experienced a painful situation with someone I trusted, someone I allowed to help represent me in a brand conversation. But instead of working with me, she made decisions without first checking in. I was left in the dark until after the fact, with no screenshots, no transparency, just summaries and closed doors.
When I tried to ask questions and understand what really happened, I was met with defensiveness and eventually, she blocked me. That hurt. It wasn’t just about the opportunity, it was the lack of care and the refusal to take accountability.
And then there was my birthday.
A day that should’ve been filled with light and love was overshadowed by jealousy, tension, and her projecting her negativity onto me. It drained me, and I won’t pretend it didn’t.
To add to it all, our cat Mochi has been missing for just over a week now. It’s been so hard on me and the girls. She’s part of our little family, and not knowing where she is has added another layer of heartbreak. But I’m truly grateful for everyone who’s been supporting us, checking in, helping us search, and just being there for me and my children. Your love and kindness have carried us more than you know.
But here I am.
My hair’s straight (thank you, hair Botox), my shades are on (yes, I’ve cried a lot), but I’m standing up again. A little stronger. A little softer.
This May, I want to be more present, with myself and with you. I’ll be vlogging soon and opening up more, because staying silent has only made it harder. And I know I’m not alone, so maybe my story will help someone else feel seen too.
To the beautiful mamas, this month is for us.
To everyone here, thank you for being part of this space.
Here’s to a May filled with gentleness, growth, and healing.
With love,
Leelia
