The truth is… your nervous system gets totally dysregulated in early parenthood.
It’s not just the sleep deprivation — your brain is literally rewiring itself to protect you and your baby.
It means you start hearing a lot of thoughts like:
🔁 “I’m not doing enough.”
🔁 “I should be handling this better.”
🔁 “Everyone else seems to be fine… what’s wrong with me?”
But here’s the thing: those thoughts? They’re not facts. They’re just Limby.
Limby is what I call the protective part of my brain — short for “limbic system.”
Limby means well. Limby wants to keep me safe.
But Limby is stuck in survival mode.
When I start to believe those thoughts, I pause. I say:
💬 “Silly Limby. You’re a voice of protection, not of truth.”At first, I giggle. Then I full-on belly laugh.
Because I don’t need to believe every protective thought to keep surviving.
Especially not the ones that keep me small.
So here’s a question for you:
✨ What’s one thought you now recognize as Limby — not truth?
