In this first episode since welcoming my baby boy, I’m sharing real and raw reflections on life as a mom of two— running on very little sleep and a whole lot of love. Between newborn nights and my 3-year-old’s bedtime struggles, I’ve noticed how exhaustion stirs up old negative thoughts, shortens my patience, and makes me more reactive than I’d like to be.
If you’ve ever snapped at your child after a rough night, thought “I’m failing,” or felt like a shell of yourself when you’re running on empty, you are not alone. In this episode, I talk about:
The sneaky thoughts that show up when we’re overtired
Why it’s not about being a “bad mom” but about being a human mom
Practical ways to give yourself grace and reset in the middle of the chaos
How leaning on support systems can shift the weight we carry
This season of motherhood is stretching and exhausting, but it won’t last forever. Tune in for some honest encouragement and gentle reminders that you’re doing better than you think.
