About Me

I’m Yvette — an executive, homemaker, wife, mother, and encourager, known online as The Virtual Godmother.

I’m not here to tell you to live like me. I’m here to help you notice what you love, remember what makes you feel like yourself, and make a little more room for those things in your everyday life.

Because you don’t have to become less of a wife, mother, grandmother, daughter, or friend to become more of yourself.

One small thing to try

If you do one thing today, write down five things you genuinely enjoy.

A food. A scent. A color. A place. A little ritual. Anything.

That’s where all of this starts.
