4 Traps keeping you from thriving as a mama
Do you ever wonder if being a mama should be this tough?
No matter how hard you try, that nagging feeling of not measuring up creeps in, and the frustration, guilt, and exhaustion seem to linger far more than you’d like.
I’ve got a secret to tell you… It’s not you, and it’s not the kids, either.
Feel like you’re underachieving in motherhood? This might be why
Growing up, we were told that we could be anything we wanted to be if we set our minds to it. We grew accustomed to setting goals and then going out to smash them.

The perfect mother myth: why it’s time to let it go
In an era when women are supposed to be, and feel, more liberated than ever before, modern-day motherhood can be unforgivingly perfectionist.
For the sake of mothers everywhere, it's time to let go of the myth and start embracing the real-life experiences of mothers - the good, the bad and the ugly.
The courage to redefine motherhood
It is no secret that the historical narrative around motherhood has self-sacrifice at its core. For centuries “good mothers” have been portrayed as selfless, nurturing women who are expected to forgo their own needs, desires, and dreams for the sake of their families.
It is time to rewrite the narrative and take ownership of what motherhood means for women as individuals.
