Welcome to the Still I Rise podcast…
the place where stories heal,
where scars become art,
and where women rise again and again… no matter what life has tried to take from them.
Today’s episode is a special Mother’s Day message.
And whether you are a mother…
missing your mother…
longing to become a mother…
or simply a woman who has spent her life nurturing everyone around you…
this message is for you.
As I sat thinking about all the things women carry—
the schedules, the stress, the caregiving, the emotional weight, the invisible labor—
I started thinking about the very first and greatest “things-to-do list” ever written.
The one God created in the beginning of time.
Day by day…
piece by piece…
He built the heavens and the Earth.
The stars.
The oceans.
The animals.
The mountains.
The beauty of creation itself.
And then…
He created woman.
The nurturer.
The life-giver.
The comforter.
The leader.
The glue that somehow keeps this spinning world from completely falling apart.
So today…
I want to take you back to the beginning.
Back to creation.
And maybe, by the end of this episode…
you’ll remember something important:
that women were never created to simply survive this world…
they were created to help hold it together.
This is Still I Rise.
And this…
is “When God Created the Ultimate Things-To-Do List.
