To the Mama Who Feels Like They’ve Lost Themself:
IT’S TIME FOR YOU TO FIND
REAL SECURITY IN WHO YOU ARE WITHOUT GIVING UP QUALITY TIME WITH YOUR KIDS, YOUR PARTNER
OR YOUR ENERGY!
It’s entirely possible to live a life free from toxic guilt and shame, and it starts with get to know yourself in a more deep and exciting way!
Let’s be real — feeling like your old self can be nearly impossible as a mother...
The laundry is backed up, there are crumbs all over the floor and the kids have watched way too much screen time while you attempt to work from home between snacks and food prep. There never seems to be enough time to do it all AND find enjoyment in your life.
Lord knows I’ve been there…
And to top it off, society has glorified YOUR selflessness as a mother, leaving you with the mental load and next to no support beyond friends saying “try to be positive and enjoy the moments you have. They grow up so fast.”
If you’re like I was, the toxic shame and guilt you carry for not feeling fulfilled in this chapter has you feeling stuck, resentful, and lost.
But here’s the good news…
Feeling secure in who you are isn’t about “thinking positive”,
it’s about a new approach to self discovery.
The world shares a narrative where mothers should find security through their children, but the truth is, our identity should be separate from them just as their identity should be separate from us!
You can be a good mom AND take up space as yourself.
Your body and mind might be pointing out your failures, but
(consider a quick sentence or statement that proves that these are stress responses.)
YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE defined by your stress response!
