"I don't even recognize myself lately."

If you've ever snapped at your partner, yelled louder than you meant to, or felt like the smallest thing sent you over the edge—you are not alone.

Mom rage is more common than many people realize, but it's rarely talked about.

The truth is, rage is often a signal—not a personality flaw. It can be your nervous system saying:
🤍 I'm overwhelmed.
🤍 I'm mentally overloaded.
🤍 I haven't had a chance to rest.
🤍 I've been carrying too much for too long.

Feeling angry doesn't make you a bad mom. It doesn't mean you love your children any less.

You deserve support, not shame.

Learning to regulate your emotions doesn't mean you'll never get angry again. It means understanding what's happening beneath the anger and developing tools to respond in ways that align with the parent you want to be.

If this resonates with you, know that you don't have to figure it out alone.

💛 Save this post for the days when you're feeling overwhelmed.
💛 Share it with a mom who needs the reminder that she's not failing—she's carrying a lot.

Hi, I’m Brittany!

I’m a psychotherapist passionate about helping people understand themselves more deeply and navigate life’s challenges with greater clarity and compassion.

Many of us carry stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, or simply feel stuck at times. Therapy can be a space where you feel heard, supported, and able to explore what really matters to you.

On this page, I’ll be sharing:
• insights about mental health
• tools for emotional wellbeing
• reflections on relationships and personal growth
• honest conversations about therapy

If you’re curious about therapy, currently in therapy, or simply interested in mental wellbeing, you’re in the right place.

📩 If you’d like to work together, feel free to send a message or check the link in my bio.

Thanks for being here ❤️

The postpartum period is more than just recovery — it’s a complete identity shift.

Becoming a mother can bring love, awe, and deep meaning… but it can also bring exhaustion, grief for your old life, anxiety, loneliness, and self-doubt. All of it can exist at the same time.

We talk a lot about the baby’s development — but not enough about the mother’s.

Postpartum adjustment isn’t just physical healing. It’s:
• Hormonal changes
• Sleep deprivation
• Relationship shifts
• Body changes
• A new sense of responsibility that can feel overwhelming

And if you’re struggling, it doesn’t mean you’re ungrateful. It means you’re human.

The transition into motherhood (matrescence) is real. Just like adolescence, it’s a developmental stage — and it deserves support, patience, and compassion.

If you’re a new mom and this season feels heavier than you expected, you’re not failing. You’re adjusting.

You deserve care, too. 🤍

No matter who you’re spending Valentine’s Day with, don’t forget the most important relationship you’ll ever have — the one with yourself ❤️

Self-love means treating yourself with kindness, speaking to yourself with compassion, celebrating your strengths, accepting compliments, and rewarding yourself without guilt.

Start with positive self-talk, focus on your wins (not just your mistakes), say “thank you” when complimented, and do something that makes you happy.

Love yourself today — and every day. 💕
