Did you know that some women are more likely to experience perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMADs)? Understanding the risk factors can help you be more proactive about your mental health.

Some key risk factors include:
Previous mental health history (anxiety, depression, etc.)
Traumatic birth experience
Lack of support or a difficult social environment
Sleep deprivation and chronic stress

I’m diving into all these risk factors and more in my free webinar Understanding Perinatal Mental Health. By understanding the risk factors, you can take action to protect yourself and seek support when needed.

The comparison game can be incredibly damaging to our mental health. When we compare ourselves to others, we forget to celebrate the unique path we're on as individuals and as mothers. It’s important to recognize that your journey is valid, your struggles are real, and your victories—no matter how small—are worth celebrating.

Rather than comparing yourself to others, try focusing inward. What are you doing well? What can you be proud of today? Embrace the small wins and practice self-compassion. Remember, there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to motherhood, and you’re doing your best. And that is more than enough.

You’re not “just tired.” You’re carrying everything. 🧠💔

Motherhood is more than diapers and dirty floors. It’s:
🔁 Keeping track of everyone’s feelings
📅 Remembering birthdays, appointments, snack day
🧘‍♀️ Calming everyone else—even when you feel like screaming
📦 Managing a household without a manual or a thank-you

This is emotional labor—and most of it goes unseen.
It’s the invisible weight you carry while cooking dinner, folding laundry, and lying awake at 2 a.m. wondering if you’re doing enough.

✨ But here’s the truth:
You’re tired because this is hard. Not because you’re doing it wrong.

In our latest blog, we’re unpacking:
🧠 What emotional labor really is
💥 Why it feels so heavy
🧭 How it impacts your well-being
🤝 And how therapy can help you name, share, and set boundaries around the load

That nagging voice in your head telling you you're not doing enough? That’s your inner critic. It’s not the truth. It’s an old story you’ve been carrying around, often filled with unrealistic expectations and guilt.

As a mom, your inner critic might tell you that you’re not giving your kids enough attention, not being patient enough, or that you should be doing more for everyone around you. It might even tell you you're failing. But here’s the thing: you’re not failing.

The truth is, you’re doing something extraordinary every single day. Parenting is hard—it's exhausting, overwhelming, and can sometimes feel like you’re always running on empty. But that doesn’t mean you’re not doing your best. The inner critic can be loud and overpowering, but it doesn't have to control your experience.

Instead of listening to the voice that tells you you’re not enough, start questioning it. When those thoughts arise, try to replace them with one simple question: Is this really true? Most likely, the answer will be no. You are enough. Your love, your effort, your care for your family is more than enough.

Acknowledge that inner critic, but don’t let it define you. You deserve to speak to yourself with the same kindness, patience, and compassion that you offer others. You are worthy of self-acceptance.

Feeling like you’re failing doesn’t make you a bad mom—it makes you human. We all have moments of doubt. But those moments don’t define you, and they certainly don’t define your motherhood. You are allowed to have days that aren’t perfect. You’re allowed to make mistakes, feel frustrated, or even need a break. That doesn’t make you any less of a parent.

Remember, your worth as a mother isn’t determined by perfection. It’s determined by love, effort, and your willingness to keep going, even when it feels hard. You're giving your best every day, and that’s something to be proud of.

You are exactly the mom your child needs—perfectly imperfect.

There’s a lot of pressure to be perfect, but here are three vital reminders that will help you navigate this beautiful—and at times challenging—season with more peace and less self-doubt.

1. You don't have to be perfect.
You see other moms on social media, at the park, or in your friend group, and you start comparing yourself to them. Here's the reality: every mom is figuring things out as she goes. Perfection doesn’t exist. Your baby loves you for exactly who you are—not for what you’ve managed to accomplish on any given day.

2. Your mental health matters.
The postpartum period is challenging, and it’s okay to admit that you’re not feeling like yourself. Whether that means talking to a therapist, leaning on your partner, or finding a community of moms who understand, your mental health is a priority. You deserve to feel supported, heard, and cared for, just like you care for your baby.

3. Ask for help—you're not alone.
Motherhood can feel isolating, especially when you're navigating it for the first time. But here’s the thing: You don’t have to do it all on your own. Trust me, no one has it all together, and you’re not expected to.

Remember, new mom, you’re doing an incredible job. Be kind to yourself and take things one step at a time.
