A few months ago I sat in a parking lot for a full hour, sobbing, completely unable to make myself drive home to my kids and my responsibilities. I wasn't hurt. I was completely burnt out.
This episode is a personal one. It's the story of what happens when you convince yourself that doing it all is just what your life looks like now (and how long you can carry that before something breaks).
It's also the follow-up to last week's episode, where I shared the four things every expecting mom needs to know before her baby arrives. The last one was ask for help. I meant it then. I really mean it now.
In this episode:
What "doing it all" actually looked like in my life (and why I thought it was normal)
The Saturday morning everything broke
The one text I sent my husband from a parking lot
What my friend said that finally made me zoom out
The guilt I sat with for weeks before I could accept the help
Why the present, patient version of you is still there, she just needs room
If you're in a season right now where you're trying to carry everything, this one is for you. And if you're expecting and you're determined to figure the newborn stage out on your own, this one is especially for you.
The help you accept before you're in it changes everything. That's exactly what the Newborn Blueprint Method is — me, there with you every week, building your baby's feeding and sleep foundation before you need it. https://snoozeclues.co/newborn-foundation-protocol
