Part 2 of my Mama’s Day weekend recap is here, and it’s all about the fierce vibes of ‘A Mama’s Day Kickback’ event hosted by @mamas.block. This event was fire from start to finish, and if you weren’t there, girl, you missed out big time!

Every mama showed up dripping in style, ready to slay those poses for the cam! 📸 With wine and champagne flowing, we added a dash of class to the scene while swapping mama stories that hit right in the feels. And when @gabsthefab dropped the beats, let me tell you, these mamas didn’t hold back!

But wait, the party didn’t stop with the last dance – shoutout to our bomb sponsors for hooking us up with killer giveaways! Again, if you weren’t able to make it…you snooze, you lose, honey!

After the party, my linesister and I linked up with another mom friend for more great conversations over delicious food and drinks. Cheers to the memories made and the bonds strengthened – here’s to the power of motherhood and sisterhood!

Big ups to Bri from @buildingwithbrosh for the fabulous Mamas.Block signage – it’s now the official decor on my desk, reminding me daily to keep moving forward with @mamas.block. And those custom drink tags? Pure genius! Hit her up for all your DIY needs!

To all the mamas who showed up, y’all are the real MVPs! Let’s keep bossing up and supporting each other on this rollercoaster ride called motherhood!

Can I be honest? These last few weeks have been tough. The devil is busy but he will be defeated.

If you have followed my fibroid journey, you know I am indeed the patient / client and the CEO. @thedetoxnow was birthed from my own fibroid experiences and the need to find a holistic approach to my health.

I have had SEVERAL surgeries for fibroids. The reality is, every single time you choose to operate, there are risks. No matter what, every cut can have a negative outcome. For me, I am experiencing that today.

For the last month, I have been dealing with major complications from surgeries. We’re talking YEARS later. My first fibroid surgery was in 2001 and my last one in 2015.

The striking truth is most women think that because their surgery went well they are fine but the potential damage to other organs from scar tissue is lifelong unless they work on it continuously.

So when I hear women say, I just had my surgery and it’s the best thing I did, I cringe inside. I cringe because I am concerned if they are also working to keep scar tissue in check on the other side of the surgery or if they only view it as the only thing they needed to do.

I had an exciting live planned tonight with Fibroids Warrior Briana @buildingwithbrosh. I was totally looking forward to sharing her journey with Fibroids and her path forward but this is my reality.

I am taking a current step back so that I can be the patient, pay attention to my body and give it what it is asking for.

Ladies, listen to your bodies! If something doesn’t feel right, it likely isn’t. If I didn’t notice the signs, I could possibly not be here right now.

Thank you for your patience. This is just a small glimpse of my reality. Continue to pray with and for me. I look forward to rescheduling that much needed live as soon as I am back on the other side of this!

💗🙏🏾Peace and love, Coach Gessie

This was me the night before my surgery.

For years I hid my appearance because I felt so embarrassed by how I looked. I felt alone because so many other moms just snapped back while I continued to look pregnant. I didn't want to go anywhere or even take pictures with my kids because I didn't want anyone to see how I looked. I felt defeated because I knew there wasn't anything I personally could do to fix my situation.

But God will take what the enemy meant for evil and turn it to good. It's crazy that the situation that caused me so much shame is now giving me so much purpose. My original post has gotten 5+ million views. More importantly though I have been blessed to have thousands of women, from different races, nationalities and ages, share their similar journeys with me. Most of which also thought they too were alone in their struggles.

For some reason, we as women sometimes suffer alone in silence. Well no more! We need to be open about what we are going through because no matter who unique we think our situation feels, I guarantee there are others going through the same thing. We have to share our stories, share resources we may find and be there to encourage one another. Especially when it comes to our health and appearance.

I task you to go to my orginal post and find a comment from another woman that resonates with you and either share words of encouragement with her or advice to help her situation. Let's be our sister's keeper.

Surgery update: I had an successful surgery on Monday 8/29. 9 fibroids were removed. The largest was the size of a melon. My 8 finger ab separation was successfully repaired and a decent about of excess skin was removed. I am in a little pain but doing well.

FIBROIDS & PREGNANCY

This is NOT a pregnancy announcement. There is so much we can learn from the personal journeys of others. We don't take for granted when people share their stories because we know it's not always easy, it takes courage and vulnerability. Thank you so much for sharing yours @buildingwithbrosh.

Sending you so much love on your upcoming surgeries. 🙏♥️

Please read her story below1♥️💕

No I am not pregnant.

Since giving birth to my kids, I have kept my physical appearance hidden. Mainly by not showing my whole body and also using compression garments.

I have shared my journey with fibroids before but never showed my physical appearance. With me being just one week away from having surgery, I thought it would be a good time to open up about it.

To make a long story short, I found out I had fibriods when I was pregnant with Jace. Throughout my 2 pregnancies they grew larger and larger. Now they're are the size large oranges. With growing babies and growing fibriods in my belly, my stomach expanded more than it should have. My overextended belly caused my abs to separate (which is normal in pregnancies) but my abs did not come back together, leaving me with a 3 fingers width gap between my abs. Abs act as a corset and hold our inner organs in, so with my abs being separated along with my huge fibriods, it allows my organs to push out causing my belly to protrude.

For a long time I questioned why this happened to me? Why couldn't I have just snapped back like other women? I have since changed my victim attitude into one of gratitude. Although I am not happy with how I look, I thank God that my body did what it needed to do. It grew and birthed my two precious babies.

On Monday , I'll be having two surgeries. One to remove my fibroids and another to sew my abs back together and remove my excess skin (tummy tuck). While they both a standard procedures, yall please pray for me.

It is tough to share myself with the world (still can't believe I'm doing it) but I'm hoping that by sharing my journey it might help someone else going through the same things .

Guess what! Jace is getting an assistant builder and new best friend soon!

We're so excited to finally announce that our family is growing. We'll soon be a family of 4 and will have 2 more hands to help out with all the projects we have planned.

We constantly go between wanting you to stay my little baby forever and being super hype about your growth and all the new things you will do.

Yesterday you turned 10 months. You're literally growing up right before my eyes and we still can't believe it.

This growth chart was the perfect 10 month project especially because Jace is doing great with assisted standing.
