Mom Struggles ❤️‍🩹

As a new mom of 2 here are a few things I find myself struggling with:

Trying to give my oldest attention when I have a new born strapped to me

Wanting to continue breastfeeding/pumping

Knowing my baby will have to start daycare

Finding a new normal juggling both girls and their individual needs

... Read moreAs a new mom, the journey can be both rewarding and overwhelming. It's common to feel pulled in multiple directions, especially when you have a newborn. Many parents share the struggle of maintaining a balance between caring for a newborn and giving attention to older siblings. Breastfeeding can also be a challenge, as you may face difficulties in continuing or transitioning to pumping. Additionally, the thought of starting daycare for your little one can cause anxiety for many mothers. Finding a new normal in your family dynamics is essential. Establishing a routine can help manage the unique needs of each child, thus supporting a healthier emotional environment. Joining online communities and forums can provide valuable insights from other moms who have experienced similar hurdles. Sharing tips on parenting, time management, and self-care can create a supportive network for new moms. Engaging with hashtags such as #postpartumjourney, #girlmom, and #singlemom can connect you with others on this path, fostering encouragement and community support. Remember, it's okay to seek help and lean on others during this transformative phase of life.

Silent Struggles Of High Functioning Depression
High-functioning depression is hard to spot because it hides behind a smile. You show up, get things done, and seem fine—but inside, you’re battling exhaustion, numbness, or hopelessness. Just because someone seems okay doesn’t mean they are. Check in on your strong friends. 💗 #mentalhealthawar

Struggles with Prayer and Overthinking.
I have a tendency to overthink things. I could simply say “Hi” instead of “Hello” and think about it for a week. I fail to be present because my mind is in the past. I also have a tendency to overthink my prayers. That they aren’t good enough. That God won’t hear me. I think about praying in fron
