Navigating the ups and downs of motherhood in today’s fast-paced world can feel like a never-ending rollercoaster. If you’ve ever thought, “How am I supposed to do all this?”—you’re not alone.

As a millennial therapist and fellow human trying to keep it together, I want you to know: it's okay to feel overwhelmed. Motherhood is a wild ride, and there’s no one right way to do it. But with the right support and a few practical tips, you can find your balance and maybe even sneak in some precious ‘me time.’ Let’s talk about how.

As a therapist for moms based in Ohio who specializes in EMDR therapy (I know, therapy can sound scary, but stick with me — it’s actually pretty transformative), I see this cycle of guilt all the time. The struggle to be the “perfect” mom can be overwhelming. But I’ve got some news for you: perfection doesn’t exist, and that’s actually a really good thing.

Today, I want to talk to you about how to break free from the cycle of mom guilt and embrace imperfection in your parenting. Trust me, you don’t have to do it all, and you don’t have to be perfect to be a great mom. So grab a cup of coffee (or wine, no judgment), and let’s dive into this!
