Our parents did the best they could with the resources and knowledge available to them, protecting and providing for us as children. For me, part of that protection meant maintaining composure and creating the illusion that life was all rainbows, butterflies, and cute little bunnies. I was raised to...

Mommy Burnout: When "Five Minutes of Peace" Feels Impossible
Motherhood is a beautiful, exhausting, all-consuming journey. The days start early, the nights stretch long, and by 10 AM, it already feels like an entire day's worth of energy has been spent.
Before the coffee has kicked in, the to-do list is already growing:
☕ Cleaning up yet another spill
👟 Searching for the missing shoe (which, of course, was in the fridge)
🤯 Answering endless questions about why the sky is blue or why ice cream isn't a breakfast food
🍞 Negotiating over the unacceptable shape of a sandwich
The mental load is relentless: tracking schedules, remembering favorite bedtime stories, planning meals, and managing meltdowns. Between all that, there's the quiet realization that no one warned just how constant this season of life would be.
Burnout isn't just about being tired—it's about the weight of always being needed, of giving so much that there's barely anything left.
✨ To the mom stealing five minutes of peace in the pantry—you deserve that snack.
✨ To the mom who put on real clothes today—celebrate that win.
✨ To the mom wondering if everyone else has it all figured out—they don't.
Some days, keeping little humans alive is the biggest (and only) accomplishment—and that is enough. Motherhood isn't about perfection; it's about showing up, loving fiercely, and making it through one chaotic moment at a time.
For those deep in the trenches of burnout, know—you're not alone. Who else could use a nap and a standing ovation today? Drop a 🙋‍♀️ in the comments. 💛
