🌸 Helping moms navigate mental health & motherhood with tips, stories, & inspiration ✨
📖 Parenting advice & practical tools to thrive as a mom 💕

Happy Halloween, mama. 🎃 Today, everyone's wearing Happy Halloween, mama. 🎃
Today, everyone's wearing costumes and masks. But can we talk about the ones we wear every other day of the year?
The 'I've got it all together' mask
When you're barely holding on but can't let anyone see the cracks.
The 'I'm fine' mask
When you're drowning but answering "how are you?" with a smile and "good, you?"
The 'perfect mom' mask
When you're comparing your reality to everyone else's highlight reel and feeling like you're failing.
The 'I don't need help' mask
When asking for support feels like admitting defeat instead of being human.
Here's the truth: The scariest thing isn't ghosts or monsters.
It's pretending to be okay when you're not.
It's performing perfection when you're exhausted.
It's wearing a mask so long you forget what your real face looks like.

So here's your Halloween permission slip: 💙
✨ Take off the mask
✨ Show the real, messy, beautiful you
✨ Ask for help
✨ Admit you're tired
✨ Stop performing
✨ Just... be human
The people who matter? They love you without the costume.
Your kids? They don't need perfect. They need real.
What mask are you ready to take off? Drop a 🎃 if this resonated.
Happy Halloween, mama. You're doing better than you think—mask or no mask. 💙

Real talk: Things scarier than Halloween 🎃 👻 When Real talk: Things scarier than Halloween 🎃
👻 When they go silent mid-tantrum
👻 "Mom, I don't feel good" at 2am
👻 The toddler who's too quiet
👻 First day of school drop-off tears (yours, not theirs)
👻 "Can we talk?" from your partner after a rough day
👻 Running out of coffee
👻 The third week of October when you realize you forgot to get costumes
We joke, right? But here's what's actually terrifying:
Losing yourself so completely in motherhood that you forget you're still a whole person underneath.
The slow fade of:
→ Your hobbies
→ Your friendships
→ Your identity beyond "mom"
→ The dreams you had before kids
→ The version of you that felt like... you
That's the real haunting.

Here's the thing, mama:
You're allowed to be more than a mom.
You're allowed to want things for yourself.
You're allowed to grieve the parts you've lost.
You're allowed to reclaim them; piece by piece.
Being a good mom doesn't mean disappearing.
It means showing them what a whole, full, authentic human looks like.
Even on Halloween. Especially on Halloween.

So tonight, while they're collecting candy and living their best costume life, I want you to remember:
The person you were before kids? She's still in there.
And she's worth finding again. 💙

Your assignment for today (and honestly, for the r Your assignment for today (and honestly, for the rest of this year): 💙
Show up for yourself the way you show up for everyone else.
You know how you drop everything when they need you? How you remember the appointments, pack the snacks, anticipate the meltdowns, solve the problems?
What if you did that for yourself, too?
Heal what needs healing.
That childhood wound that gets triggered every time they tantrum. The pattern you swore you'd never repeat but keep catching yourself doing. The part of you that still believes you have to earn love through productivity.
It's time. Not someday. Today.
Build what needs building.
The boundaries you've been too afraid to set. The morning routine that centers you instead of drains you. The support system you deserve. The version of yourself you're becoming, brick by brick, choice by choice.
Protect your peace like it's the most important thing in the world.
Because mama? It is.
Not in a selfish way. In a "you can't pour from an empty cup" way. In a "they're learning how to treat themselves by watching you" way. In a "breaking cycles requires you to be well" way.
Your peace isn't a luxury. It's the foundation everything else is built on.

So here's your permission slip:
✨ Say no to what drains you
✨ Rest without earning it
✨ Prioritize therapy/healing work
✨ Build the life you actually want, not the one you think you should want
✨ Water your own growth like it matters, because it does
You've got this. 💙

Things I want to tell mothers more: 💙 ✨It's okay t Things I want to tell mothers more: 💙
✨It's okay to grieve the version of motherhood you thought you'd have.
The picture-perfect moments. The natural ease. The instant bond. The "maternal instinct" that was supposed to just kick in.If your reality looks different than your expectations, you're not failing. You're just human.
✨ It's okay to just survive today. Thriving can wait.
Some days, getting everyone fed and to bed is the win. That's not settling—that's wisdom.
✨ You're not behind. You're exactly where you need to be.
Stop comparing your chapter 3 to someone else's chapter 20. Your pace is perfect for your journey.
✨ You're allowed to change your mind about what kind of mom you want to be.
Who you were before kids, who you thought you'd be as a mom, and who you're actually becoming? They can all be different. And that's okay.
✨ Your healing ripples through generations.
Every cycle you break, every pattern you interrupt, every time you choose differently, it matters. Not just for you. Not just for them. For generations, you'll never meet.
You're doing better than you think, mama.

And honestly? That hit different.
We're taught that putting ourselves last is noble. That suffering quietly is what "good moms" do. That our happiness is secondary to everyone else's.
But what if your joy is actually the foundation of theirs?
What if choosing yourself sometimes is the most powerful gift you can give them?
Your happiness matters. Not just for you, but for them too. 💙

For months, I was so focused on being the 'perfect' mom; the one who meal preps, stays patient, has a clean house, and never raises her voice.

But my kids don't need perfect.

They need me. Present. Regulated. Doing my best.

The pressure we put on ourselves? It's stealing our joy AND our presence.

What if we just… let it go?
