Let’s dig into some helpful truths we can use to help combat the little lies our minds try to make us believe in some tough times as Moms. Even if you only use one phrase one time, it’s a difference made! PS - You ARE Enough. (That was a sample, let’s go!)

Just got back from my mental reset of a vacation… What about you? How long has it been? What are you waiting for? The importance of “checking out” of the every day norm and why you should most definitely DO IT!!!!

Everything (or that I can currently remember…) on MY Netflix list worth a watch! :)

The feeling of not being "enough" is a complex issue that many wives and mothers experience, and it's often rooted in a combination of societal expectations, personal experiences, and the inherent challenges of these roles. The modern environment often presents a myriad of demands and pressures on women, making it easy to feel overwhelmed and inadequate. These feelings can stem from a variety of sources, including external pressures to live up to idealized versions of motherhood and partnership, internalizing messages about what a "good" wife or mother should be, and the sheer volume of responsibilities that often fall to women in these roles. The constant juggling of tasks, the emotional labor involved in managing family life, and the potential for sleep deprivation and isolation can all contribute to a pervasive sense of not measuring up. Additionally, comparing oneself to others, whether through social media or personal interactions, can amplify these feelings. It's easy to see curated highlights of other people's lives and feel that one's own efforts are falling short. Ultimately, these feelings are rarely a reflection of a woman's actual capabilities or how much she is contributing. Instead, they are often a symptom of the immense pressure and the unrealistic expectations placed on wives and mothers in today's society.

Deciding to cut ties with a family member is often a painful, last-resort choice made for self-preservation rather than malice. It is a valid path toward healing when a relationship consistently compromises your safety or mental health.

It’s Friday the 13th!!! Grab your drinks and hockey masks Creeps and let’s get ready to dive into the greatness of this day that creeps a lot of people out!

A drama detox—deliberately stepping away from chaotic relationships, gossip, and emotional upheaval—is vital for reclaiming your mental energy and restoring emotional balance. While high-drama situations can trigger an addictive rush of adrenaline, they ultimately lead to chronic stress, anxiety, and a "clouded judgment" that hinders personal growth.

Ahhh the peak of reality trash in its truest form… the “Of Love” series that spread out over several has beens and nobody’s… hot messes and mountains of screeching and drama… Let’s jump into this mess!

Understanding that it is okay to have a "not okay" day is a cornerstone of psychological resilience and emotional health. Embracing these moments prevents the harmful effects of suppressed emotions and fosters a more authentic life. It’s definitely okay to be able to take those days and know there’s nothing wrong with that.

After 5 weeks of being consistent and showing up… I’m happy to say it’s going very well! Little things have changed - fonts, sounds, etc. - but doing this week after week and seeing the library grow… it’s pretty awesome to see. Looking forward to keeping this going! My only regret is not having this mindset and drive sooner. But instead of dwelling on what could have been, I’m just ready to keep rocking into the future!
