Some comments people make to moms stay with you way longer than they probably realize.

Maybe because becoming a mom is already such a vulnerable time. You’re exhausted, overwhelmed, trying to figure everything out, probably doubting yourself already and then people say stuff that just lands wrong.

And I don’t even think most people mean harm. Sometimes they’re trying to help. Sometimes they just repeat what was said to them.

But still.I hear moms talk about this all the time.

I’m Eszter, a maternal mental health therapist and mom of two, and some of the things moms carry around are not just sleep deprivation or overwhelm but random comments someone made when they were already struggling.

What’s something someone said to you after becoming a mom that you still remember?

The good, the bad, the completely unnecessary 😅

Follow for real conversations about motherhood, postpartum, and maternal mental health from a therapist for moms who’s also living the mom life too.

Hot take: early miscarriage still hurts. A lot.

And no, saying “at least it happened early” usually doesn’t help.

I’ve seen too many moms quietly carrying guilt, sadness, confusion while acting like they should already be over it.

You don’t have to prove your pain to deserve support. đŸ€

Did anyone say something after your miscarriage that stuck with you for better or worse?

05/25/2026

You yelled. Got overstimulated. Hid in the bathroom for 3 minutes. Forgot the permission slip. Ordered takeout again. Felt touched out. Cried in the car.

And somehow your brain still thinks:

“Maybe I’m just a bad mom.”

Nope.

You’re a good mom having a hard day.

Big difference.

If this message belongs in your life (or on your shoulder 😏), comment TOTE and I’ll send you the link to get your own. Small business. Made with love. For moms who need the reminder as much as they need that coffee.

Thank you for making this happen

Somewhere between stepping on crackers, reheating the same coffee 4 times, and hearing “mom?” 97 times a day, I stopped caring about a lot of stuff.

The perfect house.
The perfect dinner.
Looking like I have it all together.
What random people think of my parenting.
Because motherhood will humble you REAL fast đŸ˜”â€đŸ’«

Some days feel beautiful.
Some days everybody’s overstimulated, dinner is random, someone’s crying (occasionally me), and we survive on snacks and lowered expectations.

I’m Eszter, Mom of 2 over here.Also a therapist for moms.

And if there’s one thing I know?
A lot of really good moms are way too hard on themselves.

Now tell me:
What’s one piece of mom sh*t you stopped caring about?

Follow for the real, messy, funny, hard parts of motherhood. You don’t have to figure this out alone.

Postpartum anxiety and depression had me fully convinced that I was just bad at motherhood.

Bad at coping.Bad at enjoying it.Bad at being patient.
Bad at functioning.

Meanwhile I was running on broken sleep, adrenaline, hormones, isolation and pressure.

I’m Eszter, a therapist for moms and I was also the mom googling things at 2am thinking: “why does this feel so hard for me?”

So if you’re looking for motherhood content that actually says the quiet parts out loud instead of pretending everything can be fixed with gratitude and a morning routine, you’ll probably like it here.

Motherhood without your mom beside you is a different kind of grief people rarely talk about.

Today can feel beautiful, heavy, lonely, and triggering all at once.

If this day hurts a little for you too, you’re not alone. đŸ€

I love how “maternity leave” sounds like a relaxing little break with naps, candles, and cute stroller walks. 😌

Meanwhile, a lot of moms are running on hormones, survival instincts, cold coffee, and 2.5 hours of broken sleep.

As a therapist for moms and a mom of two myself, I really think we need to stop romanticizing postpartum like it’s some peaceful little “break” from work.

For many women, it’s one of the biggest emotional, physical, hormonal, and identity-shifting transitions of their lives.

Which is exactly why Maternal Mental Health Month matters. đŸ€

I’m Eszter,a postpartum therapist in California helping moms navigate the raw, messy, overwhelming side of motherhood that people don’t talk about enough.

And with Mother’s Day coming up, maybe instead of asking moms if they’re “enjoying the time off,” we start asking:
“How are you REALLY doing?”
