You’re not the same person you were before kids—and maybe that’s a good thing. This isn’t about bouncing back or “finding yourself” in a bubble bath. It’s about sitting with the version of you who has survived every chaotic morning, every tearful bedtime, and still shows up with love (or at least snacks). In this post, I’m sharing the three traits I now genuinely love about myself and why they matter more than ever. Plus, you’ll get to reflect on your growth with a powerful journaling prompt designed just for moms.

I expected sleepless nights. I expected stretch marks. But I didn’t expect to cry during diaper commercials, or to question whether I was unraveling—or evolving. Motherhood didn’t just change my schedule—it rearranged my soul. Here’s what happened when my emotions got louder, my past came roaring back, and I had to decide whether to break the cycle or pass it on.

Tired of flowers and breakfast in bed? Here’s the Mother’s Day gift moms actually want: one full, uninterrupted day of not being “Mom.” No tantrums. No packing snacks. No guilt. Just sleep, silence, and spicy food—with both hands. This fantasy-day itinerary hits hard for any mom craving space, identity, and a break from the mental load.

You already know you need to take care of your mental health — but try doing that when therapy costs $200 an hour, you’re drowning in laundry, and finding a babysitter feels like planning a bank heist.

When the world gives you no help, you build your own. Here’s how I turned AI into my free therapist — and how you can too, before the next meltdown over spilled Cheerios hits.

You ever wish you could go back and give your younger self a heads-up? Me too. Not just as a mom but also as a woman who spent too much time being the “cool girl,” picking the wrong guys, and shrinking herself to be chosen. If you’re burned out, stretched thin, or just tired of chasing someone else’s definition of a good life—grab this free printable and start writing your way back to you.

We love to toss around “it takes a village,” but what happens when there is no village? No one to hold the baby while you shower, no friend to text when you’re unraveling in a parking lot. For millions of moms, this is the everyday reality—and it’s slowly breaking them.

This isn’t a personal failing. It’s a societal setup. If you’ve ever whispered “I can’t do this anymore” into the dark, this one’s for you.

What if the part of you that made you feel most you—before the diapers, the mental load, the marriage friction—has gone quiet? This isn’t just another “self-care” post. It’s a raw, real look at how moms lose themselves—and how journaling can help you remember who you were before motherhood rewrote everything. Spoiler: bubble baths won’t fix it. But your own words just might.

Remember when “me time” meant actual freedom, not just hiding in the bathroom with your phone? Dive into the life you lived before motherhood with journal prompts from the Burnout Recovery Workbook for Moms series. Not to pine for the past, but to remember that you existed before the diaper bag, and she’s still in there somewhere, waiting for a little air.

Motherhood doesn’t happen overnight. Sure, you have a kid, but that doesn’t mean you suddenly wake up feeling like a mom. You’re still you. And that’s what this journal is all about—helping you reconnect with yourself amid the chaos of motherhood. Grab the free Burnout Recovery Workbook For Moms, and let’s do the work together.

Did you know that the same bag of chips has 20 ingredients in the U.S. but only 5 in Europe? Or that American baby formula is packed with corn syrup while European brands aren’t even allowed to use it? Turns out, the U.S. is shockingly lenient when it comes to what goes into our food—stuff that’s banned elsewhere for being unsafe is sitting in our pantries right now. If you’ve ever felt like grocery shopping is a minefield of questionable ingredients, you’re not wrong. So why does this happen, and what can parents do about it?

Ever wonder why you feel like a worse parent after a late-night social media scroll? You log in for five minutes, and suddenly, it’s an hour later—you’re knee-deep in curated momfluencer content, comparing your chaotic reality to someone else’s filtered perfection. Social media isn’t just hijacking your free time; it’s messing with your confidence, your mental health, and even your ability to be present with your own kids. It’s time for a detox—but not just for them. For you. Because social media makes parenting harder, not easier. Here’s how to take back your sanity—without deleting your accounts (unless you want to).

Parenting is basically one long Google search. But the internet is a minefield of conflicting advice, panic-inducing forums, and that one terrifying WebMD result that has you spiraling. So, I’ve gathered the most searched parenting questions—like why your baby spits up like a mini volcano, when kids finally sleep through the night, and whether that fever is worth freaking out over. Get the answers you actually need—minus the guilt, judgment, or pressure to be a perfect parent.

Motherhood is expensive, but your breast pump doesn’t have to be. Most moms can get a pump for free—or at least heavily discounted—through insurance. Of course, insurance companies love making things complicated, so I’m here to help you cut through the red tape and get what you need without the headache.

You don’t need a $300 workout set, an organic probiotic-infused smoothie, or two free hours to stay fit. Fitness as a parent isn’t about aesthetics—it’s about keeping up with your kids and making it through life without falling apart. No time, no money, no motivation? No problem.

Instead of setting yourself up for failure with vague resolutions, why not set realistic, achievable goals for 2024? Say goodbye to guilt and stress, and hello to small victories that boost your confidence and motivation. Ready to make this year different? Discover how you can set goals that truly stick. Your sanity will thank you.

In a world obsessed with success, we’ve forgotten that average is okay—more than okay; it’s real life. Not every child needs to be a prodigy, and not every parent should push for perfection. The constant pressure for kids to excel in everything isn’t making kids well-rounded; it's stressing them out.
