As a mom, I feel like a lot of us kind of fall into the trap from the beginning of doing everything. I mean, it makes sense when our kids are babies, then young toddlers, and such.

But as they get older, we continue the pattern of carrying it all and I want to help you shift that today.

Things get to feel different, things get to look the way you decide they look, and life gets to feel good for you where you also feel supported as a mom.

And one way to start doing this is to stop carrying it all for our kids.

It is not your job to pick up all the toys, put all the clothes away, and spend your days reminding your kids to get their stuff done.

We get to raise happy, healthy, independent + confident kids while being supported.

As I noticed that I was still carrying out the same patterns I had picked up from early motherhood when my kids were a little bit older, I realized it was no longer serving me… or them.

Our job as moms is to teach our kids about what the mental load is. To be problem solvers. To look around and see what needs to be done instead of being annoyed with us ‘nagging’ all the time.

And in this episode I’m teaching you how I’ve shifted the way I show up as a mom to do just that.

I love sharing what has worked for me, what hasn’t, and what I’m currently in the process of shifting because something didn’t work the way I’d hoped.

We were never made to do this perfectly. Our kids wouldn’t thrive if we were perfect.

We are here to show up as our best + most empowered selves and teach our kids the best we can.

That’s all we can do is… our best and continue to work toward getting better + better each day.
