From one struggling mom to another...

[@soniaap.s.paques2180]

Tonight, I was feeling miserable. Being a single (lonely) mother with all our family in another country, I feel the guilty every day for picking the wrong dad for my child. Thanks for showing that I need to believe on myself more, accept my mistakes but mostly important be open to learn betters ways on how to deal with the problems which keep coming.

[@dr.dermixgirlmd7479]

All of this. 😢

[@christinewarren8134]

Oh sonia you are in my prayers and trust you are not alone in this. I feel the same.

[@touchinglives6625]

I can so relate! Hugs

[@myfairlady4255]

The guilt for picking the wrong dad ❤❤❤😭sending so much hugs. I get this on a real level xox

[@TDubs333]

If you picked another man, for a father, you wouldn’t have the same child you have today. No child is a mistake. God can bring you the right husband and father for your child and restore your family unit. Allow God to work in your life. You can absolutely raise a wonderful, healthy, settled child with God to help! I am living proof of this. Don’t allow the past to haunt you. Learn the lessons and move forward. There is so much more for you. God bless you and your child ✝️💕

[@jesschewthelabel9038]

Every mom needs to hear this 👏

[@diedremorris4542]

We don’t have to know the details to pray. Keep on keepin’ on. Take care of you & keep running to embrace the real. Prayers & love

[@pennywarren2357]

How brave & generous of you to share your pain with us! I am absolutely praying for your family! Bless you for choosing to encourage us while your own heart is breaking!

[@NurtureInChrist]

This was really encouraging and really timely. Thank you so much for your vulnerability, honesty, and encouragement Kristina. May God bless you and your precious family as you endure, overcome, and grow into an even more amazing woman/mother/spouse/+ beyond ❤️🙏🏾😘 Fernelle 🤗

[@cindyhoffmannsmith8877]

Kristina, you always speak the truth. God bless you! Press on!

[@Lilmama4cr]

Thank you for this and so many other post! The struggle is real for everyone and it’s important to remember that we are not alone and we will get through it!

[@EliseLogan]

All of us struggle with this - and it's so incredibly valuable that you are open about that struggle. It helps us all feel less alone. Thank you.

[@michelelynn6914]

This is precious advice. Thank you

[@dollyperry3020]

Sending love and cyber hugs! You are not alone. I cried many many tears....and now...things are better. One day at a time...Sometimes one hour, one minute, one second at a time. We keep putting one foot in front of the other. We may cry while we walk this journey...But we are moving in the right direction. Thank you for helping so many other people while you are in this painful situation. You are a hero of mine!

[@kevincook3799]

Kristina, I really believe we do the best we can at any certain time given our experiences, knowledge and resources. You are in my prayers.

[@livdelima6132]

Beautifully said. Prayers are going out to you and your family with whatever it is you are going through. 🙏❤

[@joyousprairies9313]

Our self worth must be grounded in who we are, not what we do! Thank you for this

[@nryane]

Thank you, Kristina. You are absolutely right. As a 76-plus woman whose whole life made a drastic change for the better, 2 years ago, I agree with your running toward the pain, arms open, heart open. IT DOES GET BETTER! Grieving is a strengthening agent in our lives. We ARE enough! Your children need to see you go through hard stuff with grace and resilience, so THEY have your example of how to do it! YES! YES! YES I LOVE your openness and willingness to share with us. You are amazing! Thanks for being YOU! Blessings!❤️

[@kimberlybare1818]

Dear Kristina, Sending big huggs and praying for you and your situation. I pray you peace and contentment. I pray you blessings and strength. Much love to you and yours

[@tanyat2098]

Love and hugs from Russia. Stay strong. People around me are going through such battles that i could not even imagine.. To listen and to support is all that can be done. I'll try to transfer your beautiful words to those in need. Thank you. And let our love be small support for you.

[@rachelbrody5725]

[@melissasands8997]

Thank you for all the amazing support and guidance you give..you are an angel and I'm sure you are helping so many just by sharing your videos.🧡 A 🇨🇦 fan.

[@angelina6111]

Sending you good energy... can’t wait to see your show in Florida 🌞 on Friday. You have been an inspiration for so many moms out there Including myself. Moms like me who are constantly doubting ourselves. Wondering how to make it better. Trying to just “figure it out”... figure out that key to success figure out how to be better moms while being better wives and at the same time better professionals... should we cook more or go to the gym more? Should we spend all night doing homework with our kids or take a break and just have fun.... Our kids think we figured it out, our kids think we are enough just the way we are. And yet we keep judging ourselves for not being fit like we used to, feeling guilty for not being good enough for our family... but we are good. We are fine. We are great and more than enough!

[@Trish-.]

I so needed to hear this. Thank you so much.

[@KaterinaLiedle]

Thank you for opening your heart and sharing your wisdom! Love and prayers to you! 🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤

[@deew1390]

I felt every word of that. As a single parent I struggle so hard and I am very hard on myself. This year has almost broken me. I am so happy that I found this message because I needed to hear it. Thank you so much for sharing ❤️

[@Stef2224]

Thank you. Praying for you, from one mama to another ❤️

[@CarmenLoredanasfaca]

Praying for you, for me and for all the mom's and sons ❤️thank you for sharing

[@terrigrey8851]

Thanks. That was really helpful. I felt just that bad last week, and totally felt everybody would be better without me. Thank you for sharing that message. It's really encouraging.

[@julieg4102]

Great words of advice. I need to play this several more times and let it sink in. I'm not as bad as I make myself out to be. I'm my worst enemy at times.

[@maharmon22]

Thank you for this video Kristina. I’ve been struggling with depression and anxiety and a month ago I hit my lowest point in my life. I was so over life and couldn’t handle the struggles of being a mom to a 8yr old, 5 yr old and 2 yr old. I thought maybe they’d all be better off with someone else. I thought of taking meds but I knew better. I got help and am doing much better. Your videos inspire me so much. Thank you so much.

[@itstime3976]

You always have such uplifting words for everyone. Thank you and i send you a virtual hug

[@LynneHuysamen]

Beautifully said Kristina and I wish you strength, love and light for these tough times. Our mindset is so important and being in a healthy place makes all the difference. Thank you for sharing your videos, they give me strength and I know that there are many mothers that need to hear your message.

[@sarahswanger979]

I love your message!!! Life completely sucks sometimes...and sometimes it’s all the time but what we do and choose to go through -it is up to us personally. My heart goes out to you! You are an inspiration!

[@kikixoxo2127]

I wish I could make myself believe that I deserve this message. Thank you for sharing.

[@mistywhite9128]

Thanks lady. I really needed that today. I appreciate you Kristina!

[@jessicavisser1489]

Hearing this made me cry because that’s exactly where I am right now, trying to stay strong for my babies yet constantly fighting a battle I don’t want to fight. Thank you.

[@katiemcclusky]

So unbelievably important right now. Thank you so much.

[@Speakerlynette]

Every single thing you said was true for me. And it only changed when my perception of myself changed. 100% true!

[@WordsPictures997]

Thank you for sharing this. Hearing your story ... you've come from soooo far. You clearly love your children and that's the most important foundation for everything else. Sending you divine peace even in the midst of any storms, love and strength.

[@andreagrce2545]

Thank you Kristina for your comforting words! Thank you for reminding us that it’s ok to struggle!

[@poojalarouxja]

You are so brave, Kristina. Love to you and your family 💛

[@loriloverchio8449]

Needed too hear this. You are simply an amazing woman. I can not thank you enough. My prayers to you and the family. I will keep on keeping on 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻

[@leslies3890]

I’m going through this journey now as I’m sure a lot of moms are with these continuously crazy days. I needed to hear this msg today so much and it was randomly on my feed. So thank you 💜💜💜

[@preranarao3676]

I love this kind of talk. I have been through something similar, realized, corrected, fought and won. Talking about it would make someone's life

[@em2738]

OMG I am glad I found your channel. You are amazing. I am going through some tough time right now and listening to your words gave me some hope to keep fighting for my dreams. Thank you so much Kristina!!

[@gogettergirl09]

Thank you!!!!!! Just when I thought no one really could understand how I feel.

[@lookingforsimplicitystar1212]

I had never come across your channel before and yet this morning this video was in my recommended list and I clicked on it. Thank you, this message is one that I so desperately needed to hear. I needed hope. Thank you

[@TigerMom489]

Thank you for sharing this with everyone! The last few months have been the worst for me and watching this had me in tears, and really helped! Love you! 💜

[@themotherofmind6410]

Wow...teary eyes...soooo relatable. Thank you so much 💕

[@melodie-allynbenezra8956]

You are a rock star. You don't have to be perfect. But you are so very inspirational. Just know that your kids love you. Your fans love you (including me). Your snappy words that bring home truth to the lives of so many bring so much meaning. You are a great woman. God bless you, Kristina.

[@mamashanshan2772]

You and all are so worth it. I’ve been there. It’s so much, even more to get through. Bless you beyond! Had to share this, so many are beaten down daily. Much love, so much respect!!💖

[@Bibilzn]

I admire you sooo mucho, i wish i'll have the privilegie of knowing you, you always make me feel better!!

[@ChrisMakNation]

This is the best. This is exactly what I needed today

[@TheTuellfamily]

Beautiful! Thank you for making this video and doing what you can to encourage others even though you are going through a really difficult time yourself. I don't know why you showed up on my playlist, but I'm now a new subscriber!

[@mbburrows7343]

Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing this. I’ve struggled with the thoughts you mentioned in the past too. Wondering if my family would be better off without me. As a mother the feeling that someone else could do a better job is hard. I really appreciate your words about doing our best. I am. Believing that is enough is hard and having someone like you share this way helps. Thank you.

[@Yuki-nz5xy]

This is very helpful at the moment for me and my life. Thank you, Kristina, and best wishes from Croatia :)

[@ruthannellis4478]

Thank you Kristina. I really needed this. I appreciate your spirit, I can tell you have over came so much. I suffered with suicidal thoughts a few years ago. It is so nice to be on the other side of wanting to end your life to Living your life to the fullest.

[@ChrissyVee5]

Thank you so much for this. Your words hit home. I definitely criticize myself daily and convince myself I’m a failure at times. Being human means you’re not perfect for sure but without a doubt I’m doing my best. It’s hard wanting to raise perfect little humans when we are far from perfect ourselves. I’m going to try to give myself grace from now on . I pray whatever you’re going through will get better soon🙏🏻 God will deliver

[@heatheryohe8874]

Thank you so much for sharing this!♥️♥️. This has touched me. I need to give myself more grace, less judgement and know that I have limitations because of physical problems.. and that even though I might not be able to do everything I used to be able to do.. that it is ok😊 I am still a good mom and I love my children with all that I am

[@MariadelMarBoscana]

I just discovered you today and I find you are a gem. The way to speak and evocate your messages is real good. I hope you realize today you are unique.

[@lizzm]

You’ve no idea how much I needed this today 😫 Thank you so much 💞

[@latoyiawertz3576]

Thank you for your words, you've truly touched on my own struggles with motherhood. I adopted my daughter as infant as a single women. My daughter was a drug baby. (Meaning her birth mother did drugs while pregnant with her.) I am still a single full time working mom giving everything I do for my daughter. In April of this year my daughter now 6 1/2 years old was diagnosed with SPD, ODD, ADHD , OCD and anxiety. Motherhood is hard and challenging. Many times I feel like I'm failing her, that I'm not enough. But I refuse to give up on her. Love her regardless. Everything that has been thrown we have come out stronger. Just a little of my struggles, thank you again for your message moved me to tears, finally felt like I'm not the only one feeling like this. Prayers and thoughts with you.

[@MindBodyMom]

I love your honesty and sharing your experiences to help others. You are so inspiring to me. ❤️

[@daisy102502]

I just happened upon this video. And I needed to hear it more than I realized. As a single mom and sole provider I often feel .. I’m not doing enough. My girls deserve better than me. The “I love you mom, your the best” at times don’t help. How could them think I’m the best when all I can see is that I’m the worst. Your words meant a lot, and my night is made better by this video. Thank you! ❤️

[@alishastreet7110]

Thank you for working so hard to encourage people, Kristina. Sending you so much love.

[@pita3299]

Thank you for your vulnerability and courage. This video reminds me of how far I have also come with loving myself. It has been a shift in perspective that has made the biggest difference. Keep doing what you're doing!

[@tonybiancofiore272]

....perfect....maybe god had me watch this video after watching the other where I made similar comments as the ones you say in this video....you are an angel.....god bless you ...man, your kids are so lucky to have you in their lives...for now and also for later when they go thru similar sh#^ in their adult lives so you can talk them thru it.....we have to show our kids how to get up after falling and not pretend that we have never fallen before so they will know it's okay to fall as long as you are strong in your mind to force yourself back up

[@jensalko6411]

I adore you. The tribe of mamas stands with you. I stand with you. We need one another to raise each other up. Thank you for thinking of us during your struggle. I’m thinking of you and praying for you and your situation. xx

You just spoke to my heart soul my everything. First time ever I know I'm not alone. First person who spoke to my soul. God sent. Thank you soooo much. I'm usually a talker but I have no words. I'll have this on replay.

[@wolfkai82]

Thank you for being so bold enough to share so much of yourself with the public you have definitely encouraged me and I’m sure many many many others and even more than encourage there’s no doubt I hope that God blesses you in so many ways that you don’t know what to do with it

[@monikawilkowska8929]

Thank you Kristina. I needed to hear this. Xxx

[@paganbornspiritbear8249]

You’re an angel! Did you know that? I know your messages are for any and all willing to hear and listen, but sometimes I’d swear you were talking directly to me! As someone else mentioned....we don’t need details in order to pray and/or send healing light and energy! May you continue to bless, and be blessed! BB!

[@therealjoebobsicle]

I’m not a mom and I don’t follow you but I’ve seen a few of your videos here and there. I’m glad I watched today only to tell you how blessed your kids are to have a mom like you. I wish the best for all of you. Please share with your child that is suffering the most that whatever he or she is going through, it’s temporary. One day it will be a story. Probably something that made them strong and able to help others. This period sucks but there are definitely better days ahead. Please all of you hang on!

[@Lori-ln3yb]

Thank you.. I have had some days recently where I have been questioning and it’s nice to hear I’m not alone or that I’m crazy. Hugs to you and I pray everything will be ok for you!💗🙏🏻

[@sarahmarieivfmommy8581]

Need this today. Been trying to work on me and my depression for about a year and I’m still struggling. Some days I see progress then I have a week where I don’t feel like anything’s changed. Praying for you in this hard time.

God is the answer, we cannot live a great life without him. Nobody is perfect

[@angelagarbarini2162]

[@miaressum4575]

You give me hope. I love your mantra I wanna adopt it and hope it will help. It’s just difficult when going anywhere these days can be so dangerous... schools, malls, vacation spots and violence with it. How do we take our other insecurities and life’s ups and downs and feel we matter in all of this... living is the hardest thing we will ever do.

[@kristinheneghan8080]

BE Strong, and know you AREN'T ALONE!!! You are loved and you ARE ENOUGH!!!

Thank you for sharing your story. You’ll never know how much that touches my heart and gives me encouragement to keep going. Praying for you and your family.

[@kimaguilera5396]

Two years ago was a very hard time for me. I cried almost everyday and so many times I thought I wasn't good enough for the kids that were in my life. Everything that you just said is so true and it took me a while for me to realize my worth. I just want to say thank you cause it sometime feel like we're all alone when we're not. And I hope that whatever your going through won't last. Just remember that tough times don't last, but tough people do! Thank you for your words of advice. They really do mean a lot.❤

[@TheEllaTB]

I'm proud of you momma. Your discretion and respect for your child's privacy is admirable

[@HarrietFitzgerald580]

Currently making a list of what my husband does for me as I'm constantly being negative and griping that he does nothing, which isn't true. I probably should make a list for me as well, as I constantly feel worthless. I'm crying. Thank you for this!!! Sending positivity to you!! 💕

[@SunshineGrace]

🙋💜 Thank you Kristina I really needed to hear this today, and will share this video in hopes of reaching as many people as possible. I've been where you were, and I know the hard work it takes to be where you are today. I admire your hard work, and appreciate what you do for all of us too. Thank you! 😁 For me personally, through a lot of professional help/therapy, EMDR, and classes like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), I am learning to create 🌟💫 "new Neural Pathways" in my brain...full of positive affirmations including colorful Post-it notes all over my house and on my mirrors, kind & loving thoughts, and lots of self love, self care, self compassion, and self nurturing. I'm trying to make "Self-Care" a daily practice, reminding myself that I'm worthy of it and I need it, so I can keep my own cup full. 🍵 That's my job and nobody else's. l can't give on reserves otherwise I'll burn out and possibly break down. I deserve better than that. We all do! Through a lot of hard work getting to the ROOT of my problems, and CHALLENGING the negative self-talk, inner critic, and self-hatred, I know my worth and value today. Today my self-worth comes from within, instead of seeking external validation, acceptance, and approval. Looking back, I can see how I was falsely "programmed" to do that, and it was NOT my fault. I'm not going to lie, it's "hard work and takes daily practice" like you said, but finding and loving my true authentic self has Set Me Free...To Be "Me." 🌞 Sending hugs and love to you all. 💛 So I'm with you 100%!!! "We are all worthy, we are all valuable and important. Our thoughts and feelings matter, and we deserve love and respect.
