Motherhood and Parenting

Okay, let's face it, being a parent is no walk in the park. Whether you are thinking about having child(ren), pregnant, post-partum, or have 5 kids, finding the balance of taking care of everyone else AND yourself feels like you are climbing Mt. Everest. If you find yourself struggling with any of the experiences/emotions listed below; it might be time to finally prioritize your self and well-being.

  • You judge yourself for not being "the perfect mother" even though that is impossible.

  • Mom shame has become an unwelcome friend in your mind.

  • You feel bad asking for help even when you feel like you are drowning.

  • You feel that you are the only mom/parent who has ever thought "did I make a mistake?"

  • You spend hours on Google figuring out ways to help your kid(s) grow up to be successful adults.

  • The idea of taking time for yourself, makes you feel like a bad parent. 

  • You feel like you are carrying the mental load alone.

  • Every decision you make is riddled with anxiety because it needs to be the "perfect decision"
