Calm Mom Conversations

There was a time when I would wake up already behind.

My feet would hit the floor and my mind would start running.

What needs to get done?
Who needs me?
What did I forget?

And by 9am I already felt tight in my chest.

I used to think the answer was better time management.
More discipline.
Waking up earlier.

But the shift that changed everything was much smaller.

I started pausing before I responded.

Before answering a question.
Before solving a problem.
Before saying yes.

One breath.

That one breath told my nervous system,
“You don’t have to rush.”

It sounds simple.
But it stopped me from snapping.
It lowered my resentment.
It softened my body.

If you’re overwhelmed, you don’t need a new system.

You need one steady shift.

This week I’m practicing:
Pause before you perform.

What’s one steady shift you’re trying?

No one really talks about how motherhood feels when you’re partly in and partly out.

Some kids still need you daily.
Some are building lives of their own.

And your nervous system is holding all of it.

If you feel overstimulated or overwhelmed in this season,
it doesn’t mean you’re ungrateful or failing.

It means you’re transitioning.

You’re not broken.
You’re human.

💛 A gentle check-in for moms today:

Overwhelm doesn’t mean you’re doing motherhood wrong.
It means you’ve been strong for a long time.

If your body could speak today, what would it ask for?

There was a time when I didn’t take self-care seriously at all.

I was a busy mom who woke up already going.
The moment my foot hit the floor, my mind was racing.
I felt tired before the day even started — and I truly thought that was just how motherhood worked.😴

I pushed through everything.
Overwhelm became normal.
Rest felt optional… or something I’d get to “someday.”

Years later, I’m still a busy mom.
And now I’m also a widow — which means even more responsibility, more emotional weight, and more to hold each day.

But here’s what’s changed:

I don’t feel exhausted all the time anymore.💤

I prioritize my gym classes — not to push my body harder, but to enjoy the moment I’m in.💪
I go with gratitude for how my body feels.
Stronger. More fit. More alive.
And I can actually see and feel the difference now.

My mornings look different too.

I slow down.
I start with my Heart Harbor technique.
I journal.
I set an intention for the day before the day starts demanding things from me.

I’m no longer pushing through.

Do stressful moments still show up? Absolutely.
But they don’t overload me the way they used to.
They don’t feel as big.
They don’t take me down.

I can handle stress without losing myself — and that has changed everything. I feel proud, hopeful, and optimistic.

Motherhood doesn't have to feel exhausting.

There was a season when I was in the thick of motherhood —
going nonstop.
Holding everything together.
Telling myself, just keep going.

And yet…
I was snapping more.
Feeling short-tempered.
So tired in my bones.

Not because I didn’t love my kids.
But because I never stopped to breathe.

Looking back, I wish I had known this sooner:
Sometimes what we need isn’t another solution.
It’s a pause.

So if today feels heavier than you expected —
not because you’re failing,
but because you’re carrying so much… quietly —

Take one slow breath with me ☕🤍

Nothing to fix.
Just a place to breathe.

You’re allowed that.

👉 When you feel overwhelmed, what do you usually do?

There was a time when motherhood felt so heavy for me.

I went from work…
to home…
to dinner…
to homework…
to bedtime…
always on the go physically —
but even more tired mentally.

I remember thinking,
“Life will be easier when the kids get older.”

And in that season,
I missed little moments.
I snapped when I didn’t want to.
I carried guilt quietly.

Looking back, I see it clearly now —
I wasn’t failing.
I was carrying too much.

So if motherhood feels heavy for you today…
pause with me for a moment ☕🤍

You’re not broken.
You’re not failing.
You’re carrying a lot.

Nothing to fix.
Just a place to breathe.

Calm Mom Conversations

🌿 Welcome. I’m really glad you’re here.

This channel is becoming a calm place for moms who feel overwhelmed, tired, or stretched thin most days.

I’m a working mom, a therapist-turned-coach, and someone who has lived through grief, pressure, and seasons where just getting through the day felt heavy. I’ve spent years supporting women and families — and what I know for sure is this: most moms don’t need more advice. They need steadiness, support, and space to breathe.

If you love your kids deeply but sometimes snap, shut down, or feel guilty afterward — you’re not alone. This space is for real-life motherhood, not perfect parenting.

Here, we’ll have honest conversations about mom stress and burnout, calming your nervous system, parenting without yelling, and raising emotionally resilient kids by staying steady yourself. We’ll also talk about grief, big life changes, and the emotional load many moms carry quietly.

Some days we’ll talk things through.
Some days we’ll share simple tools that actually work in real life.
And some days we’ll just sit with what’s hard — together.

This is a place to slow down, take a breath, and remember you’re doing better than you think.

Grab your coffee. Settle in.
You’re welcome here. ☕🌿
