What’s a fear you’ve overcome — and how did you do it?
Funny story actually 😂
I used to be absolutely terrified of mice and rats.
No thank you.
Hard pass 🫣🐭
But over 20 years ago, life had other plans.
My youngest son — who was around 3 years old — was happily bouncing on the trampoline when suddenly…
He spotted a mouse.
And before I knew it…
He had caught it.
Completely proud of himself 😅
We had a small cage from when we had chinchillas, so the mouse got a little temporary home.
My son?
Absolutely delighted.
The mouse?
Honestly, seemed quite happy too.
For one whole day.
Then tragedy struck…
The cat jumped onto the counter, knocked down the cage, and…
Well…
Nature happened 😬🐈
My heart absolutely broke for my little boy.
And with only three days until his birthday, I felt so awful that I marched to the pet shop and bought him two pet mice.
Yes.
The woman terrified of mice…
Ended up owning mice 😂
And honestly?
That is how I slowly got over my fear.
Because sometimes love for our children makes us do the things we never imagined possible.
Motherhood really is exposure therapy in disguise 🤣💜
