The Body Remembers: Why Self-Care Isn’t a Luxury—It’s a Lifeline

How one bath helped me come home to myself—and why I created Mom Bomb to help you do the same.

You don’t forget your body overnight.
It’s more like a slow erosion. A quiet slipping away.

One day you’re brushing your teeth and you catch a glimpse of your reflection—and you pause. Not because you’re judging. But because you don’t quite recognize the woman looking back.

I’ve been there.

By the time I was 33, I had cashed out of my first startup, bought an estate on two acres, and built a life that looked like success on paper. But behind the scenes, I was carrying more than anyone could see—stress, anxiety, motherhood, marriage, and eventually, divorce. And in the middle of it all, I lost track of the one person holding it all together: me.

I didn’t feel like myself. I didn’t feel anything at all.

Until one day, I took a bath. A real one. Not the rushed 5-minute soak with a toddler banging on the door. But a bath that felt like an exhale.

I lit a candle. I poured in magnesium salts. I let the water hold me.

And in that moment, I cried—not because I was sad, but because I finally felt safe. My body, for the first time in a long time, wasn’t just surviving. It was remembering.

That bath didn’t fix everything. But it reminded me that I existed. That I mattered. And that I didn’t need to earn rest—I just needed to receive it.

That’s why I created Mom Bomb.

We don’t just make bath products. We make restoration rituals.
We help moms come back to their bodies—not to shrink them, fix them, or disguise them, but to feel at home in them again.

Every soak is a reset button.
Every scent is a signal.
Every product we make is rooted in this belief:

Self-care is not indulgence.
It’s not a trend.
It’s a lifeline.

If you’ve been holding everyone else for so long you forgot how to hold yourself—
We made this for you.

You’re not too far gone.
You’re not broken.
You’re just waiting to be remembered.

Start with a bath.
Start with yourself.
We’ll meet you there.
