It’s Okay to Say Nope

Mama, it's okay to say:

• This moment is hard

• I need a break

• I'm feeling overwhelmed

• I need help

• Nope

We put too much pressure on ourselves to be supermoms who can handle anything flawlessly and never falter.

But the truth? Motherhood is hard work! All parents struggle, even if we pretend we aren't on our social media.

Having a tough day or feeling drained doesn't make you weak or a bad mom. It just makes you human.

• Give yourself the grace to admit when things feel challenging

• Take time-outs when you need them

• Ask your partner or friends for support when it's too much

• Say no to added responsibilities when you're maxed out

You're not meant to do this alone or be endlessly stoic. Shed the facade of perfect motherhood. Let go of unrealistic expectations. Be honest about what you're dealing with and get the rest and help required to be your best.

Sending you love.
