Being a mom is harder than you ever thought it would be.
It comes with feelings that don’t feel like “mom feelings”, and it comes with days that feel darker than you think they should.
You feel trapped in a cycle that you know isn’t you, and yet you don’t know how to be you anymore.
I get it, because I’ve been there.
I’m a certified life coach, mom of seven (or seventy hundred. Something along those lines) and a writer. I struggled with depression for the first ten years of being a mom, and I was constantly on the lookout for What’s wrong with me? How do I just be happy?
Welp, after years of research and learning and failing, here’s what I’ve got to report:
There’s nothing wrong with me (or you either).
Happiness starts within.
When you become a mom, you think it’s just going to be the bees knees, the everything that you’ve ever dreamed of and waited for, but in fact it brings up all the hard things that you thought you had locked in a closet never to see again.
And in order to be truly happy, you gotta work through those things so that you can feel like yourself, enjoy your day to day life, and love on your hubby and kids - exactly like you always wanted to.
That’s what we’re all about over here in this neck of the woods. I’m glad you’re along for the ride.
