For a long time, I thought I was just overwhelmed. Like⦠why canāt I handle this better? Why does everything feel so loud and heavy?
But the more I slowed down and actually listened, the clearer it became: I wasnāt just overwhelmed, I was unheld in so much of motherhood.
I was mothering, working, diligently showing up for everyone, while holding so much internally with very few places to set it down. No consistent space where I didnāt have to explain myself or be āonā and not perform motherhood. No place where my nervous system could borrow calm from other regulated bodies in a real intentional way.
Thatās the piece weāre missing so often as mothers. Not more coping strategies. Not more self-improvement. But being held in community.
MotherCircle became part of the antidote for me because itās not about fixing or performing or proving resilience. We've showed ourselves time and time again we can do that. Itās about being witnessed. Being mirrored. Being reminded, over and over, that you make sense. This version right now.
When mothers sit together, something ancient happens. Our breath slows, our bodies relax, the stories of shame start to untangle. The weight of it all gets distributed.
And suddenly what we called āoverwhelmā starts to shift not because life is easier, but because weāre no longer doing it alone.
So if youāre feeling like youāre at capacity, I want to gently offer this reframe: Maybe nothing is wrong with you. Maybe youāre just not meant to carry this by yourself.
And maybe MotherCircle is one of the ways we remember how to be held again
