Many moms I talk to don’t actually lack support. They have partners who offer to take the kids. And yet. They still don’t take it. 🤯 They wipe the counter instead. I don’t think this is a time problem. Somewhere along the way, a lot of us learned this quiet rule: So even when space is offered, we don’t know how to step into it without guilt. This is the part no one really talks about. The slow loss of the part of you that isn’t a mom, a partner, a problem-solver, or a caretaker. Later this week, I’ll share what I teach moms who want to take up space in their own lives again without blowing up their relationships or disappearing into self-improvement mode. For now, just sit with this question: When was the last time you took time for yourself without explaining it, justifying it, or feeling guilty about it? I’ll be back soon, |

Most women don’t wake up one day and think, “I want a different life.” They wake up and realize they’ve been living on the sidelines of their...
One of the biggest fears moms carry (even if they don’t say it out loud) is this: “If I start taking up more space, something will break.” Their relationship.Their family rhythm.The fragile balance they’ve worked so hard to hold together. So instead, they stay small.They stay quiet.They stay “fine.” Confident Mom Reset isn’t about blowing up your life or reinventing yourself. It’s about something much more grounded: Learning how to identify what actually fills your cup.Communicating it...

Are you putting your phone away for certain hours of the day to protect your mental wellness and ability to be present? Are you sleeping?
