Self-esteem isn’t built in big, life-changing moments.
It’s built in the quiet ones.

The way you talk to yourself after a hard day.
The boundaries you hold (even when it’s uncomfortable).
The credit you give yourself for things no one else sees.

You don’t need to earn your worth.
You practice recognizing it.

And some days that looks like confidence.
Other days it looks like choosing not to tear yourself apart.

Both count.

Save this for the days you forget. 🤍

Therapists aren’t immune to being human.

I get overwhelmed.
I overthink things at 2am.
I have hard days, stress, and moments where we don’t have it all figured out.
I am figuring out the parenting thing as I go too.

I just happen to sit in a different chair.

Being a psychologist doesn’t mean having a perfect life.
It means having the tools, awareness, and willingness to keep showing up and doing the work too.

There’s no “arriving” in mental health.
For anyone.

Just people… trying, learning, adjusting.

If you’ve ever thought your therapist has it all together—
they don’t.

They’re just human, like you. 🤍

I was asked recently - what do I do to decompress after work.

My answer was 'illicit rap' which if you know you know -

There are a few things I do to help me decompress and shift into mom mode.

Music
Sparkling water in a fancy glass
Changing into sweats

Most recently though - Loop ear buds!

I get over stimulated by noise after a busy or emotionally heavy day and putting in my loops help lessen the noise of the kids just being kids and help me stay regulated.

In the picture I am washing dishes with my loops in while the kids were causing chaos post supper.

Its a small thing but for me its worth it so I can be a more regulated mom because lets be real - the time from after work until kids bedtime is sometime the hardest part of the entire day.

Don't over complicate it

You want honesty? Cool.
Because “you’re doing your best”
isn’t always the full story

Sometimes it’s:
You’re exhausted
AND
you’re avoiding things that would actually help

You say you want peace …but keep:
• overcommitting
• not setting boundaries
• saying yes when you mean no

Respectfully…
that’s not anxiety
that’s a pattern

And no, I’m not here to shame you
I’m here to help you see it clearly
Because you can’t change what you keep softening

Also?
Overthinking isn’t insight
It’s just anxiety in a blazer

You don’t need:
• another podcast
• another coping strategy
• more awareness

You need follow through; I say that with zero judgment
and a lot of honesty.

Growth is uncomfortable....

Not because you’re broken
But because you’re finally doing things differently

Even when you don’t feel like it
Even when it’s inconvenient
Even when it’s not perfect

You don’t need to be harder on yourself

But you do need to be more honest with yourself

Save this for when you feel stuck

The stretch between kids’ activities and bedtime?

It’s one of the most overstimulating, draining parts of the day—and no one really talks about it.

You’re trying to:

meet everyone’s needs
get things done
stay patient
while your own system is already maxed out

If you’re feeling snappy, overwhelmed, or just done…

That’s not failure.
That’s your nervous system asking for support.

You don’t need a full routine to fix it.
You need small moments that help you regulate inside the chaos.

Lower the bar.
Pause when you can.
Let “good enough” be enough.

🤍 Save this for the evenings that feel like too much

Things that actually help when you feel overwhelmed (that no one talks about):

Putting your legs up against a wall.

Not because it’s trendy.
Because it works with your nervous system.

If you’ve been feeling:

overstimulated
snappy
mentally drained
stuck in scroll mode

That’s not laziness.
That’s your system trying to cope with overload.

Give it a pause that actually restores you.

10 minutes. No input. Just breathe.

🤍 Save this for when your day feels like too much

Real talk about post-partum...

We don't know what we don't know.

Sure you can read books and talk to people (hear every one's horror stories) but the reality is nothing can prepare you for giving birth and becoming a parent.

You give birth then are handed a little potato and trusted to take care of it - feed it, love it, protect it, help it grow into a respectable contributing member of society; no pressure or anything.

The truth is, no one is given an instruction manual or told what to do - we are all struggling to figure it out as we go.

I remember sitting in the rocking chair in the middle of the night googling everything I could about developmental stages and what is 'normal' and not because how was I supposed to know?! I never had a baby before.

Then lets throw in hormones - giving birth is the single largest hormonal shift in HUMAN HISTORY. It takes 2 years for your body to develop a NEW baseline. That does not include breast feeding or getting pregnant again within that two year window.

Maybe you have intrusive thoughts because thanks Postpartum Anxiety or Low Mood (looking at you Postpartum Depression). All while trying to take care of the little potato that the nurses at the hospital sent you home with.

Even if you've had multiple kids - you've never had one the age of your oldest. You are trying to figure it out as you go and each kid is so different from each other.

Stop expecting yourself to have it all figured out because how are you supposed to?

Find your support, the real support that won't judge you when you say you're losing your mind or refer to your kid as a gremlin.

Post-partum is messy and full of big emotions and fears you've never experienced before. Becoming a parent is magical and terrifying all at the same time.

No one prepares you for the emotional side of postpartum.

The mix of feelings.
The intensity.
The thoughts you don’t expect.

You can feel grateful and overwhelmed.
You can love your baby and still struggle.
You can love being a mom and miss your alone time.

Both can exist.

And it doesn’t make you a bad mom.

It means you’re adjusting, healing, and navigating a huge life shift.

You’re not alone in this
And you don’t have to do it alone either
