After a long hospital week with my son, I came home and couldn’t shake the words from a poem my friend read to me—The Invisible Mom. In this episode, I share the poem and my heart, in hopes that you’ll remember your quiet sacrifices matter deeply to God. HerHomeAndHeart.com
Ever feel like the quiet work of motherhood is invisible? Like no one sees the tears, the effort, or the love you pour out daily?
Hey mama, Katie here—and this week’s episode is raw and real. I’m coming to you just after returning from the hospital, completely worn out but deeply moved by something my friend shared with me. While I was loading up to bring my son home, she called and read me a poem called The Invisible Mom. And friend—it stopped me in my tracks.
This episode is different. It’s not scripted or polished, but it’s full of heart. I share the poem with you, along with the reflection and tears that followed, because I know I’m not the only one who feels unseen in the daily sacrifices of motherhood. You’ll also hear about the beauty our family experienced even in the hard hospital days, and why I believe God sees every act of love you pour into your home.
If you’ve been wondering whether it matters—whether you matter—this episode is for you. I hope it feels like a warm hug from one mom to another.
💛 Katie
