Moms, we see you.

You’re holding so much ... the schedules, the emotions, the meltdowns, the appointments, the meals, the mental load that never seems to rest.

You hold your family through the highs and the hard moments, through the worry and the guilt, through the exhaustion and the hope. And sometimes, all of that holding starts to feel too heavy.

Because even the strongest, most loving moms need someone to hold them too.

At Guidepost Counseling for Wellness, we know how much you carry and we’ve created a space just for you.

Our new Mom’s Group is designed to support your mental and emotional wellbeing, helping you find calm, connection, and community in the middle of it all.

You don’t have to do this alone.
Reach out today to learn more about our upcoming Mom’s Groups and find the support you deserve.

Because even caregivers need care.

When you’re burned out, your brain is basically running on 2%… and it shows.”
You’re not broken. You’re exhausted. And your mind is trying to keep you going with whatever energy it has left.

Signs you might be running on fumes:
• Everything feels harder than it should
• You’re more irritable or emotional than usual
• Your focus disappears halfway through a sentence
• Even small decisions feel overwhelming
• You’re tired… but rest doesn’t actually help

A few ways to start working through burnout:
• Take one small task off your plate today
• Give yourself permission to slow down (your worth is not your productivity)
• Ask for help — from a partner, friend, or therapist
• Schedule real rest, not the fake “scrolling on the couch” kind
• Reconnect with something that fills you up, even for 5 minutes

Burnout isn’t a personal failure. It’s a signal.
Your brain is asking for care, not criticism.
You don’t have to navigate it alone — we’re here when you’re ready.

You don’t have to overhaul your entire life to start feeling better.
Sometimes healing begins with just one small step.

Maybe it’s going to bed 15 minutes earlier.
Drinking a little more water.
Taking a short walk.
Pausing before you say yes to something you don’t really have time for.

Change doesn’t have to be big to be meaningful.
When we focus on one small shift (and stay consistent) we start to rebuild trust with ourselves. We feel more capable, more grounded, and more in control.

This week, pick one small thing that supports your wellbeing.
Hold yourself gently accountable and notice how even one mindful choice can lead to another.

Progress isn’t about perfection. It’s about direction. One small step forward at a time.

Small steps. Real growth.

In relationships, gratitude is one of the most powerful connection tools we have.

When we intentionally notice and express appreciation — “I love how you handled that,” or “Thank you for supporting me today” — it helps our partners feel seen and valued.

Gratitude softens defensiveness, rebuilds trust, and shifts focus from what’s wrong to what’s working.

Over time, those small moments of acknowledgment strengthen the emotional bond that keeps couples resilient through stress and change.

When your therapist says “trust the process”… and your nervous system goes 😱😂

Healing isn’t always comfortable. Growth isn’t always gentle. Sometimes it feels overwhelming, unfamiliar, and even a little scary, like we’re stepping into the unknown without a map.

Here’s the truth:
Therapists aren’t asking you to trust the process because it’s easy, but because it works.
Because you deserve support.
Because you don’t have to do it alone.
Because the version of you on the other side is worth it.

So scream if you need to 😅
Cry if you need to.
And most importantly, be honest, be curious, and keep showing up.

Trust the process. You’re building something stronger than comfort — you’re building you.
