Late Night Pep Talk: You're YOU On Purpose

The motherhood space can be so tough sometimes. We're not very great at admitting our moments of weakness and getting vulnerable with other moms. This can lead to feelings of shame, guilt, and failure when we have less-than-ideal days. I had a super hard day yesterday and wanted to open up with you all about it to remind you you're never alone and it doesn't make you a bad mom...even though in the moment I felt like the worst mom ever. When we have these moments, we have to begin to stop the thought process in its tracks and analyze where it comes from. Often, it's some deeply rooted comparison or unrealistic expectation we've created in our mind, likely from social media or other mamas that we believe "have it all together" when we just simply...well, we don't. And when you break down that thought pattern, you realize how much of a lie that is. You can love your children endlessly and still count down to bedtime some days. You can raise your voice, or utilize screen time, or break down in tears...and still be a good mom. And you ARE still a good mom. Because you were perfectly designed for this child, or these children. Everything in your life prepared you for this role and the exact mother they would need. No one is better suited for them than you. Each day is a fresh start, mama. Listen to this pep talk to remind you how you can learn to let go of those negative thought patterns, fill your own cup back up, and begin a new day with the next sunrise. It's okay to give yourself permission to have hard days. But just remember...you're doing an amazing job. Support the showLet's connect on social media!
