I know exactly who needs to hear this and I hope it reaches those people in time. Sending you so much strength and rest this week! Which one of these do you need to remind yourself?

❤️❤️❤️

If you’re realizing that Christmas is less than one week and you’re crashing out then try this strategy below. And if you’re already mostly done, but it took sooo much work to get here and you’re committed to not having another year go like this then also read and share what you’d like to do next year below.

If moms are the ones historically managing all of this then moms should be the ones to decision what is realistic for their families, not anyone else.

It may SEEM like a good idea to just “let things go” or simply say “no” but it’s rarely that easy and/or it doesn’t erase all the leftover mental and emotional load that comes with changes and setting boundaries.

Try this holiday triage with 1 week left:
Make a list with 3 columns:
1. Must happen
2. Nice if it happens
3. Release & try again next year or delegate now

That third column can be shared with your partner or any support person.

What do you think of this? I’m sharing mine that I’m doing today in the comments!

Follow along for more millennial motherhood support, from a former “good girl” turned therapist/recovering burnt out mom.

How’s everyone doing out there on December 13?! 🙃✌🏼🤶

Wishing you a happy and healthy holiday season! Tell me the most random/unhinged/off the wall thing that’s keeping you together!

I’ll go first- my millennial song of the day that I often listen on repeat, isn’t necessarily a Christmas song (but I do LOVE the entire “snowed in” Hanson album). This is just a quick break/song just for me.
I also am totally a soft clothes only after work. Like immediately skincare then soft clothes!!!

This one hit me like a ton of bricks when I became a mom in 2020. As someone who always thrive in an academic setting, has two masters degrees, and was always eager to please, and go “above and beyond” in every job I ever had as an employee, then becoming a mom, I was consumed by constantly needing to know the “right” way to do things.

As millennials born in the mid 80s and the 90s, we were fed this idea that by shear determination and optimism that as we grew up we could “have it all”. there were no systems in place or changes to our society to actually support this.

And then now as millennial moms, we are left feeling like we’ve somehow failed or that we need to just try harder or do more, or many moms even deciding to completely pull back on working outside of the home in their careers and attempt to try to manage all the different areas of life.  We were raised to constantly achieve, overperform, and to make it look easy. So many things about motherhood unlocked that this is all not possible and perfection does not exist.
 If you feel like you’re “failing” because you can’t do it all, please hear this: you’re not failing. You’re just finally up against something that can’t be fixed with more effort, more studying, or more self-sacrifice.

If this hit Home for you, please follow along for more.

This is probably the number one question that I get from clients and it’s “how do I not screw up as a parent?” Or other variations include, “how do I make sure that my kids don’t end up in therapy because of my parenting?” 🥺

These are valid questions and it makes so much sense. Why so many moms are asking themselves and their therapist these questions because often times they finally seek therapy and motherhood when everything’s cracked open and turned upside down and they can’t handle it anymore. And there’s an element of grief there that they maybe you didn’t have someone in your childhood that was thinking these things or asking these questions.

So my answer to so many moms is that
1. There will be points when you make mistakes as a parent that doesn’t mean that you’re completely messing up your children’s lives. You’re actually showing them that you’re human and that perfection doesn’t exist which is a good thing.

2. If you’re actively reflecting on your parenting now and maybe even from a few years ago, then you’re already doing more work than you realize. The ability to have that type of awareness and say onto how we can continue to grow as a parent creates moments where there can be repair and connection with your child while also acknowledging that you can be flexible and are capable of change.

So please remember that if you were worried about “messing up“ then I think that that’s not only a great thing to explore with a therapist, but it also likely shows that you are trying to be intentional with pausing and noticing your emotions and how you react to them while also modeling this to your children.

If you’ve felt this way before, then stick around with me (and share with another mom who needs this message) because as millennial moms, you know we’re unpacking all of the stuff that we grew up with in therapy alongside trying to figure out how to be a parent. 💕

As a millennial mom therapist, I watched the scene and realized not only is the laugh track super annoying but the mental load was so present for wives and mothers long before we started talking about it on social media (this clip is from 2004!).

So many women keep this invisible load in their heads at all times waiting, and anticipating for when this knowledge is going to be needed …
Where the baby Tylenol is
Whether we’re out of ketchup
Which kid has soccer practice tomorrow
What time does the pediatrician office close
And apparently also, where are the scissors?

The scene is a harsh reminder that the mental load doesn’t just happen, but it’s accumulated overtime. It’s absorbed into the brains of so many women and moms and it’s that constant anticipating of when others are going to need this mental information.

And for so many millennial women who are juggling motherhood, careers, relationships, homes, identities then you might be asking yourself:
❗️Why is it my job to know?
❗️Why am I the keeper of everything?
❗️And what would it feel like if I didn’t have to be?

So please take this as a reminder that you’re not overwhelmed because you’re bad at balancing at all or you’re failing, it’s because you’re carrying a load that was never meant for one person!!!

If you feel like I’m reading your mind then please know that you are in the right place and you need to follow along for more support, navigating millennial motherhood, and all that comes with it.

I know the mental load of all the holiday magic and traditions can be a lot for so many millennial moms to carry. I’m here to remind you or encourage you to give yourself permission to not have to do every single tradition that’s out there. If you don’t have the capacity right now to do an elf, a train ride, a light show, holiday crafts, then it’s OK to do less and keep things simple.

Tell me what your favorite holiday traditions are and even the ones that you’re nostalgic for from your childhood that you’re wanting to replicate for your kids. ❤️
