Becoming a GlamMa – Ready or Not

One minute you’re vibing to SWV in your car, singing “Weak” like it’s still ’94, and the next minute—somebody’s calling you GlamMa. Excuse me? WHO? Me? The one with lash refills booked every two weeks, a TikTok account I swear I’m just “figuring out,” and a passport still smoking from that last girls’ trip?

Welcome to redefinin' fabulous AKA The GlamMa Life!

GlamMas Are Not Your Big Mama

Let’s keep it real. Our grandmothers looked 62 at 32. They had housecoats, orthopedic shoes, cornbread in the oven, and hard candy that lived in their purse like gold coins.

Girl, YESSS Im a GlamMa, look at these legs - GLAMMA!!

That ain’t us. We’re the WiFi password keepers, the brunch queens, the women with AirPods in one ear and a GlamBaby on the hip. We’re not aging out—we’re leveling up.

The Identity Shock (a.k.a. “Chile, What Just Happened?”)

Some of us had time to prepare. Baby showers, cute onesies, and the ceremonial “what are they gonna call me?” conversations.

Others? Sis, we found out on a random Tuesday text message, and we’re still recovering. Whether you were ready or not, the truth is the same: becoming a GlamMa doesn’t make you old—it makes you more.

But here’s the kicker nobody tells you: it will also stretch you. Between babysitting requests, family expectations, and your own desire to keep living your life, you will need boundaries—and you will need them yesterday.

The 3 Bs of GlamMa Life

Let me break it down plain: being a GlamMa is beautiful, but if you don’t set the tone early, you’ll burn out. Here’s my cheat sheet:

Boundaries Babysitting? Yes. Moving in? No.Your house is not Chuck E. Cheese. Your role is GlamMa, not live-in nanny. It’s okay to say no with love.
Script Tip: “I’d love to watch the baby Saturday morning, but I can’t do every evening during the week. Let’s find a rhythm that works for both of us.”
Balance Keep your life, your goals, your you-ness. Don’t press pause on your dreams because you’re now “GlamMa.” If you had travel plans, business goals, or hot girl summer energy, keep that. The babies need to see thriving, not just surviving.
Boldness Don’t shrink. This is the season to wear the lashes, hop on the plane, or sign up for the class you’ve been thinking about. Boldness isn’t selfish—it’s legacy-building.

Challenge for Every TGL Woman

Write YOUR GlamMa definition and post it. Are you:

GlamMa First Class ✈️ (passport ready)?
GlamMa Netflix-and-Nap 🛋️ (low-maintenance queen)?
GlamMa Snacks 🍪 (always stocked and ready)?

Whatever it is, define it before somebody else does. And when you share it, tag another GlamMa and ask her to do the same.

Final Word, Sis

This isn’t just about becoming a grandmother. It’s about remixing what it means. Our Big Mamas gave us wisdom, strength, and cornbread. We’re adding WiFi passwords, frequent flyer miles, and bold boundaries to the mix.

So ready or not, here you are—a GlamMa. And trust me: the world has never seen a generation like us.
