Motherhood is beautiful, sacred, life-changing…and sometimes feels like surviving tiny emotionally unstable roommates on zero sleep 🙃

Motherhood burnout isn’t a sign you’re failing.�It’s often a sign you’ve been carrying too much for too long.

So grateful to join CBS Chicago @cbschicago to talk about the invisible load of motherhood, mom guilt, and realistic ways moms can protect their mental health. 🤍

@audrina_ontv and @kozlov.dana Thank you for the opportunity 🫶🏽

Postpartum anxiety isn’t always obvious. Sometimes it’s the constant checking, overthinking, needing control, and feeling like you can never fully relax.

And sometimes, it looks like the mom who seems to have it all together.

Even as a therapist, I didn’t have my shit together but getting my own help is what helped me slow down and learn that not everything was a disaster.

Today is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day. 🕯️

Tonight at 7pm your local time, we invite you to light a candle and let it glow for one hour as part of the International Wave of Light. As families in each time zone join in, the light travels around the world in honor of every baby gone too soon.

We'll be lighting ours too. 💛 by @crescentmoon_therapy

Maybe you’re not bad at managing your time. Maybe you don’t need to be more patient, more organized, or better at regulating your emotions.

Maybe you’re overwhelmed because the expectations placed on mothers are overwhelming.

We spend so much time asking moms how they can cope better and not nearly enough time asking why we’re expecting them to cope with so much in the first place.

Sometimes the problem isn’t you.🫶

It's normal to feel more like co-workers than partners with a baby. You're both tired, and most conversations are about logistics. Connection doesn't need a big night out to come back. It can start with one small, low-pressure evening at home. 💛

Motherhood isn’t losing yourself. It’s becoming someone you haven’t fully met yet.

Several of our clinicians integrate somatic work into their practice.

Swipe to learn more about what that means and what it might actually look like in session. 💛

Trying to channel this level of completely unearned confidence the next time I question every decision I make as a mom.

How we doing toddler parents? 😅
