We asked Canadian Writer and YMC Member Stacey Martin to share what makes her an unstoppable mom. Read Stacey’s story...
Stacey MartinI remember a childhood full of fun memories, always playing with the neighbourhood kids, usually the boys because I could relate better to them. Girls seemed hard to get along with, callous towards each other almost. Everything seemed to change when my preteen years came; puberty did a number on my self-esteem. I grew quickly; my arms and legs seemed longer than most and oh, did I hate, hate, HATE my nose….it was too big! I was already slightly an outcast by the “popular” kids and every chance they got, they seemed to tear all the kids that didn’t belong down. As awkward as I felt in my own skin, I didn’t let that keep me from trying things; I did belong, I just had to push myself to find my place.
