My Inner Child - Missy

This episode of Love Letters to Single Mamas is a return. A reckoning. A whisper to the little girl I left behind so many times just to survive.

“Missy” is more than a nickname. She’s the piece of me that watched it all — the fear, the silence, the endurance — and carried the weight when I couldn’t. This episode is me finally sitting beside her, listening to her grief, and offering her something I never knew how to give: permission to come home.

 If you’ve ever wondered why your body holds so much, why your voice sometimes shakes when you speak the truth, or why you can’t stop crying when you’re finally safe… this episode is for you. 

It’s not perfect. It’s not polished. But it’s real. This is a prayer. A memory. A retrieval. And maybe — just maybe — it’s yours too.
