Being an over 40 mom myself, I completely relate to the feelings of vulnerability and self-reflection that come with juggling so many roles. Especially as someone who grew up in the 80s, there’s a nostalgic connection to past experiences that shapes how I see myself today. It’s common to feel 'broken' at times or like 'the problem' in different situations, but I’ve learned that these moments are part of real growth. Sharing these honest feelings openly can be liberating and helps form a supportive community. For me, embracing the hashtag #imtheproblemitsme was a turning point in taking accountability without harsh self-judgment. It’s about recognizing where we can improve while also being kind to ourselves. This mindset shift has helped me balance motherhood and personal challenges with more grace. If you’re feeling the same way, know you’re not alone. Sometimes just knowing others share these feelings can bring a sense of peace and connection.
