We’ve all been there. You’re doing your best, juggling kids, work, home life, and somehow, that nagging voice creeps in—telling you that you’re not good enough. It’s the voice of self-sabotage, and for many moms, it can be relentless.

As a mom, you've probably heard a million times that you just need to "stay positive" or "look on the bright side." It sounds harmless enough, right? But here's the thing: not every hard moment needs a silver lining.

Being a mom is tough. No matter how many kids you have, it feels like there’s always something to worry about. One of the most common struggles moms face is guilt around formula feeding. If you’ve ever found yourself feeling guilty about not breastfeeding, you’re not alone.

Becoming a mom changes everything—your time, your priorities, and even your relationships. One of the toughest transitions can be setting new boundaries with your parents, especially with your own mother. She might mean well, but that doesn’t mean you have to say “yes” to every bit of advice, every visit, or every request.

Being a mom is one of the most rewarding jobs in the world, but it’s also one of the hardest. No matter how much you love your kids, there are days when everything feels overwhelming. If you’ve ever felt like this, know that you’re not alone.

If you’re like me, a mom of four, you know that each postpartum experience is different, but one thing stays the same: we all need help sometimes.

But asking for help? That’s another story. It can feel awkward, uncomfortable, or even like you’re admitting defeat. Spoiler alert: you’re not.
