Your need to be the “perfect mom” is teaching your child impossible standards.
Your chase for a “perfect holiday” is teaching your child that your love has a scorecard.
Every time you fold, your child learns they should too.
Your fear of saying no is raising a child who is forgetting their own voice.
You’re perfecting the holiday, while your child wants... a present mom.
You tell your child they don’t need to please everyone… while you spend the whole season doing it.
Are you unreachable?
It’s hard to feel seen—when you keep making yourself invisible.
The truth you swallow becomes the tension you carry.
You’re not tired because the road is long—you’re tired because you keep driving on empty.
You don’t want more time—you want your life back.
You're not lost. You walked yourself out of your own house.
