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.

You call it ambition—but it’s really approval dressed up as achievement.

You keep calling it peace—but it’s really self-betrayal with nice manners.

You’re not exhausted because life’s heavy

You keep asking for more time, but you’re just running in place.

You don’t want to be perfect. You want to be understood. #nervoussystemhealing #traumarecovery
