Lately I've been experiencing an emotional & mental dip postpartum. Maybe it's the hormones, maybe it's winter fully arriving, maybe it's just the reality of the season I'm in - but it's been hard.
I've noticed more irritability, feeling overwhelmed, being quick to anger, and those quiet thoughts that whisper "you're not doing enough" or "you're a bad mom."
In this short episode, I'm sharing a few simple things that are genuinely supporting my nervous system and mood right now. Nothing flashy. Nothing "fixing" me. Just small anchors that are helping me feel more grounded and resourced as a busy mom of two.
✨I'll talk about:
Realistic self care
What changed when I deleted Netflix
Why embracing a more minimal lifestyle has helped calm my mind
The importance of sisterhood and staying connected with friends
Using a simple chore chart to make my home feel lighter and more manageable
Creating intentional tech-free time
Making a vision board for the new year as a gentle, intentional practice (and why I'm anti-new years resolutions)
And how I'm learning to honor the slow down that winter invites
If you're postpartum, in a tender emotional season, or simply feeling overwhelmed by the pace of life, this episode is a reminder that you're not broken and you're not alone.
