✨Monday Mama Check-In✨
Okay, mamas... I'm going to keep it REAL today.
I'm struggling.
Like... overwhelmmmmmmmmmmeeeeed. 🫥
I'm stressed. I'm exhausted. My brain feels like it has 47 tabs open, and I'm pretty sure at least 12 of them are playing music. 🫣
There are A LOT of changes happening in my life right now.
The beginning of the homeschooling journey for my daughter.
Some life shifts.
I'm starting a new (almost final) quarter of my master's program.
I'm starting the first part of my internship.
And in the middle of all of that, I'm still trying to be a good mom, wife, daughter, sister, friend, coworker...and, somewhere in there, remember that I'm a person too.
And honestly?
I don't feel like I'm doing any of it perfectly right now.
I'm trying to remind myself that being overwhelmed doesn't mean I'm failing.
It means I'm carrying a lot.
And maybe you are too.
Maybe you're in a season where everything feels like TOO much. Maybe you're excited about the changes happenings in your life AND completely exhausted by them at the same time.
Both can be true. 🤍
So today, instead of asking you to have it all together, I want to ask something to lighten the load.
What are you carrying right now that feels heavy?
You don't have to make it sound pretty.
You don't have to find the lesson in it.
You don't have to say "but I'm grateful."
Just tell me the truth.
MAMA, HOW ARE YOU REALLY DOING TODAY?
And if your answer is "girl...barely."
SAME. 🫶🏻
You are not alone here.
