A lot of high-achieving women share a similar experience:

Life looks “together” from the outside… but inside, they feel overwhelmed, exhausted, and stretched thin from trying to carry everything and support everyone.

Not just work.
Not just parenting or relationships.
But the mental load, emotional labor, and pressure to hold everything together.

If that feels familiar, you’re not weak — you’ve likely been running in survival mode for a long time.

I wrote a new blog exploring why so many women feel this way, how overwhelm develops, and what meaningful change can look like in therapy.

You can read it here:

😱 Duh duh duhhhh… SUMMER IS COMING.

School’s out. The kids are in. All day. Every day.
Whether you’re working from home or full-time parenting, here’s how to stay (mostly) sane:

👩‍💻 Working Moms:

Color-coded schedules are your new BFF (include your meetings and snack breaks).

Noise-canceling headphones. Enough said.

Pick 1 special activity per day (5-minute dance party counts!).

👩‍👧‍👦 Stay-at-Home Moms:

Theme days = less brain fog (e.g., “Takeout Tuesday,” “Water Wednesday”).

Mandatory quiet time. Not a suggestion. A rule.

Rotate toys or crafts to keep boredom meltdowns at bay.

🌈 For all moms:

You don’t need to make summer magical.

You can say “not right now.”

You’re doing great, even when it’s loud, messy, and a little too sticky.

We see you. You’ve got this. Cue dramatic music.

🌸 Spring Reset: 3 Simple Ways to Renew Your Spirit 🌸

Spring is nature’s way of reminding us—we’re allowed to begin again. Here’s how to make space for a gentle, grounded reset:

🌿 Clear One Small Space
A drawer, a shelf, a corner of your mind. Letting go, even a little, makes room for clarity and calm.

✨ Create a Daily Pause
Take five minutes just for you—sit in the sun, journal one thought, sip tea in silence. Small rituals make a big difference.

💗 Speak Kindly to Yourself
Shift your inner voice. Trade “I should be doing more” for “I’m doing my best.” Compassion is powerful.

This season, give yourself permission to grow gently. You don’t have to bloom all at once. 🌷

🧠 When OCD and Motherhood Collide…

If you're a mom with OCD tendencies, you're probably juggling 37 tabs in your brain while wondering if you unplugged the curling iron.

Here’s your reminder:

✨ Perfect isn’t the goal. Present is.
✨ Double-checking the diaper bag for the 5th time isn’t peace — it’s anxiety in disguise.
✨ Your child needs you, not a spotless home or color-coded calendar.

OCD thrives on control — motherhood laughs in the face of it. Therapy can help you find calm in the chaos (and maybe let the dishes wait).

You don’t have to carry the mental load alone.

✨ New on the blog! ✨

Are you constantly saying “It’s probably my fault” even when logically you know it’s not? 🙋‍♀️

Self-blame can sneak into our thoughts dressed as responsibility, humility, or “just being considerate”—especially for women who’ve been taught to carry everyone’s emotions but their own.

In our latest post, we’re diving into: ➡️ Why self-blaming thinking is so common among women
➡️ How it’s connected to perfectionism, people-pleasing, and old stories
➡️ Practical, compassionate tips to finally stop carrying guilt that doesn’t belong to you

You don’t have to take the fall for everything. You’re allowed to be human—and kind to yourself at the same time. 💛
