Our world today is not without life’s stressors. While we may not be foraging to find our food or worried about a bear attack out in the wilderness, we still have scenarios that put us into fight, flight, or flee responses.

Forgot what you used to be like?
Forgot what you used to do all day before you were changing diapers, shuttling kids, making snacks, and overseeing homework?
Motherhood is undoubtedly a gift. While you can enjoy being a mom to your precious children, it’s easy to get so caught up in being a mom that you forget to take care of your needs.
Here are my 7 signs you may have lost yourself in motherhood
Read MoreStart over next month.
Start over Monday.
Start over in the morning.
I want you to know that you’re never truly starting over. You’re continuing tomorrow.
Whether it’s a weight loss goal, parenting a child with a difficult struggle, or pursuing your business dreams.
We get to change our mindset.
Starting over would mean we didn’t learn from what we did the first time.
We’re not starting over, we’re keeping going. But we’re continuing with the knowledge from where we’ve been.

“Make sure your children's academic, emotional, psychological, mental, spiritual, physical, nutritional, and social needs are met while being careful not to overstimulate, underestimate, improperly medicate, helicopter, or neglect them in a screen-free, processed food-free, plastic-free, body positive, socially conscious, egalitaritan but also authoritative, nurturing but fostering of independence, gently but not overly permissive, pesticide-free, two-story, multilingual home, preferably in a cul-de-sad with a backyard. Also, don't forget the coconut oil.”
Motherhood is heavy. Even if you’re not normally a “worrier”, motherhood can keep you up at night because there’s just so much weighing on our shoulders.
Maybe we should make our own list for how to be a mom in 2023.
Are toxic relationships wreaking havoc on your hormones and causing anxiety?
Whether it’s summer travel and being around a lot of different people compared to your normal routine, or you have that one relationship in your life that has always been a difficult one and you can’t completely separate yourself from that relationship, I hope to share some helpful insight to work through these toxic relationships. (Notice I said, toxic relationships, not toxic people).
Nothing puts me into a stressful state like managing conflict and tension in relationships.

Whew.
