Anxious moms often feel like they're dropping the ball.
But the truth is… you're holding so much.
The snacks. The appointments. The sleep schedules.
The emotional needs. The invisible labor.

Your forgetfulness isn’t a flaw—it's a sign of overload, not failure.

✨ Gentle reminder: You deserve support, not shame.
You don’t have to carry it all alone.

🌿 Mini Reset for Overwhelm

1. Pause for 2 minutes and breathe. Don’t solve. Don’t fix. Just be.
A few deep breaths can signal to your nervous system: “I’m safe.”

2. Ask yourself: What’s one thing I can let go of today? What’s one small win I can focus on? If I could delegate or postpone one thing, what would it be?

3. Try a “Priority 3” List (instead of a full to-do list) Write just three things that would make today feel more manageable or meaningful. The rest can wait.

It’s choosing not to react how you were raised to.
It’s sitting in discomfort instead of running from it.
It’s powerful. It’s quiet.
It’s healing. 🧘‍♀️

Here’s how I’m coping with this ⬇️⬇️

🌿 Reminding myself that public spaces are just that. Public spaces. When your out there’s a level of expectation for noise and chaos. It’s okay if my young kids are loud.

🌿 My children’s behaviors are not indicators of how I’m doing as a mom. It’s an indicator of how they are feeling and exploring when out in public and experiencing things from their own POV!

Moms are more than the glue that binds all of the pieces of the family system together.

We can get wrapped up in just turning on Autopilot, doing everything ourselves because it might seem easier that way, pressuring ourselves to add onto the mental load. Eventually creating a family system where we don't let others do things for us because after all, we've been the "glue" for a while and that's what works. Without that role we might even feel lost.

Or, maybe the family dynamics were tough from the beginning and being the family "glue" was something placed upon you. You had to be in charge of everything.

Both ways point to dysfunctional moments in the family system that are crying out for change.

Have you felt like this before? Let me know! I'm more than happy to listen and support 🤍

The comparison game is no joke. Especially as moms living in 2025 where social media only shows highlight reels and edited photos.

One of the greatest treasures we get to chose is

✨leaning out of the "I suck" spirals comparison can put us into and
✨leaning into our ability to chose to support one another, compliment ourselves and not beat ourselves up for perceived efforts of others compared to our own.

You are doing great Mama🤍

✨ Lighten the Invisible Load ✨

Moms, we know the invisible load you carry—planning, organizing, remembering, and balancing it all—can feel never-ending. But there are ways to lighten the burden! Here’s some tips on how to do that:

1. Share the Load 🤝
-Open communication is key! Ask your partner to share tasks and involve your kids with age-appropriate chores. You don’t have to do it all alone.

2. Simplify & Prioritize ✂️
-You don’t need to be perfect. Let go of the pressure to do everything just right. Focus on what truly matters and let go of the rest.

3. Ask for Help 🙋‍♀️
-Don’t be afraid to lean on your support system! Whether it’s family, friends, or hired help—asking for assistance is not a sign of weakness, it’s a smart way to ease your load.

4. Create Systems 🗂️
-Stay organized with tools like shared calendars or to-do lists. Routines for meals, cleaning, and bedtime can save you time and energy.

5. Set Boundaries 🚧
-Learning to say no is empowering. Prioritize your needs and make time for yourself without guilt. Self-care is essential for your well-being!

6. Communicate Clearly 🗣️
-Speak up when you’re feeling overwhelmed. Share your needs and expectations with those around you. Clear communication helps reduce stress and misunderstandings.

7. Practice Self-Compassion 💖
-Give yourself grace! You’re doing your best, and it’s enough. Taking breaks, resting, and practicing kindness to yourself will help prevent burnout.

Moms, you are doing amazing. Remember, you don’t have to carry the invisible load alone. 💪✨
