Really, It Takes a Village

Have you ever found yourself doom scrolling? Looking at all the perfect moms with their spotless kitchens and easy life? 

Me too. 

But we know that behind the filters lies the reality that motherhood is messy, exhausting, and sometimes downright overwhelming. 

The truth is, it really does take a village. We need our community’s support, we need to rely on each other, and we need people we can be vulnerable with. 

Asking for help isn’t a sign of weakness— it’s a sign of strength. It shows that you know your limits, understand your needs, and are brave enough to reach out and accept support. 

And when you ask for help, your village is able to make you stronger. And that stronger you can inspire another mom to ask for help. That stronger you might have the renewed energy to be there for someone else when they need it. 

You don’t have to struggle in silence, wondering why everyone seems to have it all together. They don’t and you’re not alone. 

Your village is waiting to support you! Start reaching out, whether it’s your partner, family, friends, or online communities. 

The truth is, no one is doing it perfectly. When we lean into our village, we normalize the need for help and empower others to do the same. 

Let’s be a community that asks for the help we need and gives it to others when they need it (and we have the capacity to give it), too.
