If you’re a mom who’s feeling overwhelmed and trapped by the expectations society places on us, then this pep talk is for you. Today, I’m talking all about how you being a martyr to motherhood is a choice…. And I don’t say that lightly because I’ve been there.

For a long time, I bought into the narrative that motherhood meant sacrificing everything, constantly looking disheveled, and never getting a moment for myself. But here’s the truth: this is pure BS.

I used to believe that motherhood had to be chaotic and that I had no control. I resented the idea that my life had to be a mess just because I was a mom. I bought into the lie society told.

But one day, I decided I was over it + no longer available for that vibe. And what I know to be true today is, what is available to one is available to all.

If you find yourself feeling like a victim because you can’t take a shower before noon or enjoy a hot meal, it’s time to look inward. It’s about choosing how we respond to the things life throws our way.

Stop giving away your power + start creating the life you want.

I’ve been there, feeling overwhelmed and frustrated, projecting my emotions onto my kids and snapping at everyone around me. But I’ve learned that we can change our habits and behaviors. We can set boundaries, get support, and create a life that feels good— yes, while raising kids.

Motherhood is full of paradoxes, we all know this.

And if you’re tired of feeling like a martyr, it’s time to take control, stand in your power, and show the F up for yourself and your family.

Who’s with me?
