Embracing Her Accomplishments
Mandy refused to let the insulting remark affect her, so she responded with strength and a playful attitude. She wrote the confession n then added she holds dual identities as Selena Gomez’s mother while being an active entrepreneur.
“I gave birth to the singer’s Gracie, to 13 Reasons Why, and to Wondermind. And I must say, that’s a bigger accomplishment than simply being charismatic,”
Mandy chose to maintain her composure when facing this judgment so she answered with both strength and friendly humor. She composed her confession before writing that she serves as both a mother to Selena Gomez and a successful business owner.
The note highlighted her achievements, which extended past raising children. Mandy Teefey serves as CEO at Wondermind, together with Selena Gomez, who manages the mental health platform operations.

“If someone ever discredits you, even with a proven track record, be kind to yourself and let it motivate you,” she advised.
She acknowledged the difficulties women face when seeking funding for their businesses.
“Fundraising for your dream can take the life out of you and instill false doubt,”
She noted, reflecting on the hurdles she has faced.
Motherhood as a Strength, Not a Weakness
Mandy made it clear that she refuses to let anyone downplay the importance of motherhood.
“Don’t try to shame me or downplay motherhood. I’m quite happy with how my life turned out,” she wrote. I hope he finds happiness in his own life and learns to respect all people, rather than trying to ‘bro out’ to find the courage to throw an insult.”
Her closing remark was simple yet pointed:
“Missed the mark, my guy.”
A Legacy Beyond Selena
