Motherhood isn’t an Olympic competition — yet somewhere along the way, we started treating it like one. This post is a gentle reminder to be softer with ourselves, kinder to one another, and rebuild the community mothers have always deserved.

The holidays used to feel magical—catalogs, Santa letters, decorations, excitement. Now as a millennial mom, the season feels less like joy and more like survival. Bills, inflation, and pressure to create “holiday magic” on a stretched budget have replaced the wonder I once knew. Here’s my honest take on why the holidays just don’t hit the same anymore.

Becoming a mother changed my entire relationship with time. What once felt abstract now feels painfully real as I watch my daughter grow a little more each day. This post explores the impossible math of motherhood, the expectations placed on women, and why protecting my time has become an act of survival and love.

Yesterday, I almost didn’t go into the office — not because I was lazy, but because I couldn’t afford lunch. It’s a feeling too many of us know: doing our best while trying to survive a system that keeps asking for more. This isn’t a pity post — it’s a truth-telling one, about gratitude, guilt, and the quiet strength it takes to keep going.

A raw and honest story of postpartum depression—how it began, what it felt like, and how one mother found help and healing. You are not alone.

Postpartum depression isn’t just sadness. It can be rage, acne, anxiety, guilt — and it can last years. Let’s talk honestly about what new mothers really go through.

When life feels like an endless storm, it’s easy to focus on everything going wrong. But lately, I’ve been reminding myself to look for the blessings that shine through the clouds. From my daughter having her own room to the simple fact that the lights are still on, I’m learning that gratitude is the bridge out of pessimism.

Motherhood has a way of pulling you in every direction at once partner, parent, friend, worker, caregiver, and somewhere in the shuffle, your own needs get pushed to the bottom of the list. In this post, I share what I’ve learned about finding balance, setting boundaries, and protecting my energy so I can show up not just for everyone else, but for myself too.

The third trimester feels like standing at the edge of a cliff; equal parts fear, awe, and transformation. These are my reflections on the last days of “me” and the birth of someone new.

Parenthood in the first year is like running a race against your baby just when you think you’ve caught up, they change the pace, the course, and the finish line. From naps to bedtime routines to food, nothing stays the same for long. But maybe that’s the beauty of it.

Career choices feel different as a mom. Stability keeps our families safe, but the pull toward growth is hard to ignore. Do you stay in the safe lane, or trust yourself enough to leap?

Motherhood didn’t come wrapped in picture-perfect joy for me. It’s been messy, healing, and sometimes triggering. But every laugh, tantrum, and bedtime story teaches me not only how to mother my daughter—but also how to mother myself.

Motherhood shifted my perspective on friendship. What I once thought was support, I now see with new eyes. This is what I’ve learned about giving grace, holding space, and showing up for mom friends in ways that truly matter.
