Let’s talk about guilt. It’s sneaky, isn’t it? Sometimes it’s subtle, like a whisper in the back of your mind, and other times it’s loud and consuming, leaving you feeling stuck. For me, guilt feels like being completely immobilized… mentally running through everything I think I should be doing, but unable to move forward because I’m too busy beating myself up over it. It’s devastating.

Let’s talk about something we’ve all felt at some point… mom guilt. It creeps in quietly, often when you’re just trying to get through the day, and it whispers all the ways you think you’re not doing enough. The truth? Mom guilt is so common because we care so deeply. But that doesn’t mean we have to live with it forever.

I used to think staying silent was the strong thing to do… that keeping it all inside was how I could protect myself and my family. But I learned the hard way that silence isn’t strength… it’s suffocating. It wasn’t until I got tired of carrying it all alone that I made the decision to share my story. And let me tell you, it changed everything.

We all have those days… the ones where everything feels like too much, and the weight of it all makes you want to throw in the towel. I’ve been there, staring at the mountain ahead and wondering how I could possibly take another step.
