Motherhood is a journey through seasons - some filled with sunshine, others with storms and challenges. But just like the changing of the leaves, the hard times will pass and new growth will emerge.

Mama, you are allowed to say no without offering an explanation.
Do you often find yourself people pleasing at the expense of your own happiness? Every time you say “yes” to something you don’t actually want to do, you’re just saying “no” to yourself and your family.
You deserve better!
Do you say no without offering an explanation? How do you go about doing it?!

When we think of self-care we often think “eating healthy and exercising”. Yes, taking care of our physical health is very important but not the only way to take care of ourselves. Taking care of all the parts of ourselves is necessary. Our emotional and mental health matters too!

Taking care of yourself can look like:
✨Asking for help.
✨Setting boundaries and parting ways with unhealthy relationships.
✨Practicing self-compassion.
✨Allowing yourself to feel all emotions.
✨Saying no!
✨Listening to your body and resting when needed.

How are you taking care of yourself today?! 💕

Stop telling moms they look tired. No one wants to hear this. Would it make you feel good? She knows this, feels this and probably sees it every time she looks in the mirror.

Instead, tell her she’s doing a great job. She may not see this with everything going on. Remind her. Remind her of how amazing she truly is! Tag a special mama in your life💕

Let’s be honest. Life isn’t always easy. 🙄There will be days where we get triggered by someone or something and it can feel nearly impossible to “just calm down.” (Don’t you just hate when someone says that?)

However, it is possible to regain equilibrium and relax after a triggering event! It may not be as simple as “just calming down” but it CAN be done, and you CAN do it.

1️⃣Change your environment. Self soothe by going outside and focusing on something pleasant, such as the greenery or the smell of fresh air.
2️⃣Speak to yourself with compassion, out loud. Give yourself the same compassionate energy you so easily give to everyone else. You deserve it.
3️⃣Listen to soothing music. Get out of your headspace and listen to something that will have a calming effect on you.
4️⃣Focus on your breathing. Regulate your breathing by exhaling slower than you inhale.
5️⃣Take a shower or bath. Relax by taking some alone time and shift your focus on the feeling of the water as it touches your skin.

What about you? How do you reset? Let’s talk about it! ✨

STOP shaming moms for their decision to work or to stay home.

It’s important to be mindful that some women don’t really have a choice in whether they’re working moms or stay-at-home moms. Some women are forced to work when they’d rather be at home due to financial stressors, and some women have to be at home when they’d rather be working due to struggles with childcare. OR she simply CHOOSES to be a stay-at-home mom or a working mom because it makes her HAPPY. 💕

She is a GREAT mom either way. Let’s stop criticizing and start supporting and validating one another’s experiences instead. 💕

Have you been shamed for being either a working mom or a stay-at-home mom? Let’s talk about it!
