That truth hit me hard during one of the busiest seasons of motherhood. I loved my family deeply, but I was running on empty, reacting instead of responding, showing up physically but not emotionally.
And I learned something powerful: rest isn't selfish, it's necessary.

Sometimes, choosing a moment of quiet, a walk alone, or even just 10 minutes to breathe can be the most loving thing you do for your family. Because when we care for our own emotional health, we come back to our people with more patience, more joy, and more resilience.

Moms in their 40s, I see you. Youโ€™re managing so much, careers, kids, aging parents, expectations, and itโ€™s easy to feel like your needs come last. But you deserve peace too. And when you protect it, everyone around you benefits. ๐Ÿ’›

โœจ Thatโ€™s why I created something special for you:
A FREE 7-Day Challenge for Moms, designed to help you reset emotionally, reconnect with yourself, and take small, powerful steps toward feeling like you again.

Just comment โ€œMOMโ€ below, and Iโ€™ll send the free PDF guide directly to your DMs.
Itโ€™s full of tools that are simple, sustainable, and designed with your real life in mind, because healing you is healing your home. ๐Ÿ’ฌ๐Ÿ“ฉ

You are not alone, and you are more than worthy of this space.

๐Ÿงก With 28 years of experience helping women heal, I promise:
Your peace matters.

If youโ€™re in a season where everything feels uncertain, who you are, where you're headed, what you really want, I want to remind you: you are still you.

Youโ€™re not lost.
Youโ€™re becoming.
And becoming often feels blurry before it becomes beautiful.

Maybe your roles have changed, the kids are growing, your relationships shifting, or youโ€™re simply feeling a pull to rediscover yourself. Thatโ€™s not failure. Thatโ€™s growth. Thatโ€™s life inviting you to go deeper.

You are not defined by your confusion or your past.
You are not invisible.
You are not behind.

Even when you donโ€™t feel confident, even when youโ€™re unsure, you are still worthy of love, belonging, and peace.

This is a part of healing too: learning to be gentle with the parts of you still figuring it out. And from where I sit, across from you with full belief in your resilience, I promise you this: you are not starting from nothing. You are starting from strength you forgot you had.

With 28 years as a psychotherapist, Iโ€™ve walked alongside so many women who have felt exactly what youโ€™re feeling now. There is hope. There is healing. And your growth is already unfolding.

Follow me here, send a DM, or reach out. You donโ€™t have to do this alone.

How often have you been told youโ€™re โ€œtoo muchโ€... too sensitive, too emotional, too overwhelmed?
Let me tell you something Iโ€™ve learned in 28 years of counseling and in my own journey as a mom:
You are not too much.
Youโ€™re carrying generations of unspoken pain, tending to everyone elseโ€™s needs, and still showing up.

But hereโ€™s the truth we donโ€™t talk about enough, when you take the time to feel, heal, and grow, youโ€™re not just helping you.
Youโ€™re breaking the cycle.
Youโ€™re showing your kids what resilience really looks like.
Not perfection. Not suppression.
But healthy coping, boundaries, rest... and yes, joy.

We model emotional strength by living it. That means you matter. Your well-being matters. Because when a mom chooses herself, not selfishly, but soulfully, everything around her shifts.

If youโ€™re ready to take one small but powerful step, Iโ€™ve created something just for you:
๐Ÿ’› My 7-Day Challenge for Moms, a free PDF guide that gives you simple, science-backed tools to reconnect with your emotional health and model resilience for your children.

There have been so many mornings in my own life when I looked in the mirror and thought, โ€œWho even am I right now?โ€
Motherhood. Midlife. Change. Grief. Growth.
It can all leave us feeling unrecognizable, even to ourselves.

But hereโ€™s the truth I want you to hold close today:
You donโ€™t have to have all the answers to be worthy.
You donโ€™t have to be fully healed to deserve peace.
And even if youโ€™re still figuring it out, you are still you. Whole. Valuable. Enough.

Weโ€™re not meant to be one perfect version of ourselves forever. We evolve. We unravel. We rebuild. Thatโ€™s not failure, itโ€™s resilience.
And in DBT, we call this building a life worth living, not a life free from pain, but one rooted in purpose, balance, and truth.
You get to choose how you move forward, even if the path isnโ€™t clear yet.
You donโ€™t need to wait for permission to show up exactly as you are today.

If youโ€™re walking through a season of โ€œWho am I?โ€, you are not alone. Iโ€™m here for you.

I want you to read that twice, mama.

Somewhere along the way, many of us learned that being a โ€œgood momโ€ meant putting ourselves last. Dimming our light. Silencing our needs. Holding it all together without breaking.
But hereโ€™s the truth Iโ€™ve learned over 28 years of working with women: you do not need to shrink to be loved, valued, or respected.

In fact, the more you nurture your mental and emotional health, the more present, patient, and joyful you become, not just for yourself, but for your entire family.
When you stop shrinking, you make space for your children to grow into emotionally strong, resilient humans who know what healthy love looks like.

You donโ€™t need a complete life overhaul to start, small steps are powerful. A few minutes of breathwork. Saying โ€œnoโ€ without guilt. Asking for support. These little choices are acts of courage that strengthen your foundation.

๐Ÿ’› Thatโ€™s why I created the 7-Day Challenge for Moms. Itโ€™s a simple, powerful guide to help you reconnect with yourself and protect your emotional energy, so you can show up fully, without losing you in the process.

You matter, mama. And when you care for you, everyone benefits.
Letโ€™s grow, not shrink. ๐ŸŒฑ

If youโ€™ve ever looked back at who you used to be and felt a twinge of shame, grief, or confusion, I want to tell you something from my heart:

Every version of you has had value. Every version has carried wisdom. And all of them belong to your wholeness.

Maybe thereโ€™s a version of you that was constantly giving to everyone but herself.
Maybe thereโ€™s a version that was quieter, lost, unsure.
Maybe thereโ€™s a newer version thatโ€™s beginning to speak up, set boundaries, feel joy, and that feels foreign but good.

Guess what? They all matter. And none of them cancel out the others.

You donโ€™t have to choose one version of yourself to be โ€œthe real one.โ€
Youโ€™re allowed to grow, shift, evolve, and still be entirely you.

Healing doesnโ€™t mean erasing the past, it means honoring where youโ€™ve been while gently choosing what comes next.

There is so much hope in that.
So much power in allowing yourself to be all the things youโ€™ve been and are becoming.

You are not fragmented, you are layered.
You are not broken, you are beautifully whole.

And if no one has told you that lately, let me be the one who does. ๐Ÿ’›

With 28 years of experience as a psychotherapist, Iโ€™ve walked alongside many women as they rediscover their wholeness and learn to love every part of themselves. If youโ€™re ready to explore your own healing journey, follow me here, send a DM, or reach out. You donโ€™t have to do it alone.

Read that again. Slowly. Let it sink in.

I canโ€™t tell you how many moms Iโ€™ve sat with over the years who carry the weight of everyone elseโ€™s needs. We give, we stretch, we show up, and then wonder why we feel empty, exhausted, and disconnected from ourselves.

But hereโ€™s what Iโ€™ve learned, in my own healing and in my 28 years as a therapist, when you begin to care for your emotional well-being, youโ€™re not being selfishโ€ฆ youโ€™re breaking cycles.

Your children are watching.
They learn emotional resilience not by seeing you never struggle, but by watching you navigate your pain with compassion and courage.
They learn boundaries when you start saying โ€œyesโ€ to yourself.
They learn joy when you give yourself permission to feel worthy, especially on the hard days.

This is the kind of legacy that changes everything.

Thatโ€™s why I created a free resource just for moms: my 7-Day Challenge for Moms: Heal, Strengthen, Model. Itโ€™s packed with doable, impactful steps to help you reconnect with you, so you can show up for your family with more presence, peace, and power.

There were times in my life, especially in my 40s, when I questioned everything. My role, my purpose, even my identity felt uncertain. Maybe youโ€™ve been there too. Maybe youโ€™re there right now.

But let me gently remind you: not having all the answers doesnโ€™t make you lost. It makes you human.

Youโ€™re not broken, youโ€™re becoming. And that becoming is messy, beautiful, and completely worth it.
Sometimes the most powerful transformation begins right in the middle of confusion.

Healing doesnโ€™t look like perfection. It looks like showing up anyway. Taking one step. Making one brave choice at a time, even with shaky hands.

You can still build a life worth living, right here, in the middle of the unknown.

Youโ€™re not behind. Youโ€™re not failing. Youโ€™re in progress, and thatโ€™s powerful.

If this resonates, please know youโ€™re not alone. Iโ€™ve spent nearly three decades walking alongside women learning to let go of perfection and lean into resilience. Itโ€™s what I teach in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and itโ€™s the heart of every episode of my podcast Perfectly Imperfect Me 365.

Some days, I crave deep conversation, laughter around the table, or a warm hug from someone who gets it. And yet, there are also days I choose quiet. Not because I donโ€™t love people, but because I love myself enough to protect my peace.

To every mom in the thick of it: itโ€™s okay to step back to breathe, to pause, to choose stillness. You are allowed to nurture you.

Because when you take even five minutes to reset, breathe, journal, or just sit with your coffee in silence, you refill the part of you that your family depends on most: your presence, your patience, your calm.

You donโ€™t have to be everything to everyone. You just have to start by being kind to yourself.

The truth is, when we make small, consistent deposits into our emotional health, our resilience grows. And resilient moms raise resilient kids.

If this speaks to you, I want to personally invite you to my 7-Day Challenge for Moms. Itโ€™s designed to help you build simple, soul-nourishing habits that make a big impact, on you and your family.

โœจ Just comment โ€œMOMโ€ below and Iโ€™ll send you the free PDF straight to your DMs. Itโ€™s your gentle guide back to peace, clarity, and emotional strength.

Youโ€™re not alone in this. And you donโ€™t have to do it perfectly. You just have to show up for yourself, one small step at a time.

That depth of feeling? It's not a burden, it's a strength.

But I get it.
When you've been misunderstood or made to feel like you need to shrink to be loved, it starts to hurt. It makes you question yourself. You begin to wonder if you need to be less, quieter, softer, easier.

But I want to remind you:
Healing begins when you stop apologizing for who you are.
Growth begins when you surround yourself with people who donโ€™t just tolerate you, they celebrate you.
And hope comes alive again when you finally believe, โ€œI am enough just as I am.โ€

If this message hits home, know that youโ€™re not alone. I see you. Iโ€™ve sat with women just like you for nearly three decades, helping them reclaim their voice, their worth, and their light.

You donโ€™t have to keep dimming yourself to be accepted.
You were never โ€œtoo muchโ€, you were just in the wrong room.

With 28 years of experience as a psychotherapist, Iโ€™ve had the honor of guiding women through powerful healing journeys. If you're ready to begin yours, follow me here, send me a DM, or reach out. I'm here when you're ready.

That line hit me hardโ€ฆ because I know so many of us grew up with chaos, unpredictability, or silence instead of support.

As moms, we often carry the emotional weight of everyone else, our partners, our kids, our parents. We give and give until weโ€™re running on empty. But hereโ€™s the truth Iโ€™ve learned in my 28 years as a therapist: healing isnโ€™t selfish, itโ€™s generational work.

When you create consistency in your life, by setting boundaries, showing yourself compassion, and honoring your needs, youโ€™re not only healing your own wounds. Youโ€™re also teaching your children what safety, stability, and emotional strength look like.
Youโ€™re modeling resilience without shame.

Yes, itโ€™s hard to give yourself what youโ€™ve never received.
But youโ€™re not broken, youโ€™re becoming. And your kids are watching.

โœจ Thatโ€™s why I created my 7-Day Challenge for Moms, a powerful (and FREE!) PDF guide designed to help you start small, steady shifts toward healing, boundaries, and joy. Because consistent moms raise resilient kids.
If you want it sent to your DMs, just comment โ€œMOMโ€ below and Iโ€™ll send it right over.

You deserve this. Your family deserves this version of you.
Letโ€™s break the cycle, together. ๐Ÿ’›

Have you ever found yourself wonderingโ€ฆ
๐Ÿ‘‰ โ€œWhy am I not coping like they are?โ€
๐Ÿ‘‰ โ€œWhy does it feel like Iโ€™m behind in my healing?โ€
๐Ÿ‘‰ โ€œWhatโ€™s wrong with me?โ€
Let me stop you right there, nothing is wrong with you.

Iโ€™m Rachel Blogg, a licensed psychotherapist with 28 years of experience, and hereโ€™s what I want you to know:
You donโ€™t have to match anyone elseโ€™s pace.
Your nervous system is doing its best. Your body knows what it needs. ๐Ÿง ๐Ÿ’›

โœจ Healing isnโ€™t a race.
โœจ Youโ€™re not too slow.
โœจ Youโ€™re not broken.

This is your trauma, your nervous system, your healing journey, and itโ€™s okay to take the time you need. Be gentle with yourself. Trust the process.
