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.

Hey, momma! I know how you feel. As a mom of four myself, I understand the daily whirlwind of motherhood. The constant juggling act, the sleepless nights, the never-ending to-do list—it can all feel overwhelming. But guess what? You're not alone, and there are ways to find relief amidst the chaos.

Intrusive thoughts are unwanted, involuntary thoughts that can be disturbing. After having a baby, these thoughts can become more frequent. They might involve fears of harming your baby, worries about something bad happening, or other distressing images. It’s essential to know that having these thoughts doesn’t mean you’re a bad mom or that you’ll act on them. They're just thoughts – nothing more.
