Kayla Huszar - Chill Like a Mother

Kayla Huszar - Chill Like a Mother Kayla Huszar, creative therapist for moms. I’m an expressive art therapist who helps make mom life more bearable with creativity and mindfulness.

I believe women are not set up for success in parenting. Constantly striving for the invisible standard leaves mothers feeling inadequate and overstimulated. When using the creative arts they have this beautiful moment of sacred stillness. A simple act of intentional creativity can remind a mother who she is, what’s really important and what she is capable of. I provide the best therapeutic arts s

ervices online and in person because every mother deserves a simple and effective outlet for creating a life full of vibrancy, healing and joy. http://www.kaylahuszar.com

If you grew up in a house where your feelings were too much, you got really good at managing everyone else’s instead.

And then you had a toddler.

Toddlers are nothing but feelings.
🍓🍩🍭🧁 Big, loud, inconvenient feelings at 7am in the cereal aisle. And for the mom who never got to have her own - that’s a lot.

Most of the moms I work with are trying so hard it’s making them sick.
🌮 Literally forgetting to eat.
Up at midnight reading about emotional development. Saying yes when they mean no because somewhere they picked up the idea that a good mom never makes her kid uncomfortable (no shame - because same).

🩵 You can be warm and still hold the line.
You can say no and still be safe.

Your toddler needs both - and if you need help navigating this - I’m accepting new clients in AB, SK, and ON.

Drop a 🩵 if this is your Tuesday.

AND if you’d like to know a bit more about being under mothered - I’m sending out a newsletter Thursday all about this topic.

Who isn’t ok??

For the moms who spent a lot of their childhood walking on eggshells, reading the room, managing everyone else’s feelings - and are now just trying to get through a Tuesday doing the exact same thing for smaller people.
You were so good at it. Nobody ever had to ask you twice. You just knew.

And now you’re forty minutes into the morning routine wondering why this is so hard and why you can’t just let it go.

You learned this really young. Of course it followed you here.

The undermothered daughters who became moms are doing the hardest version of this.

Drop a 🩵 if you want this week’s newsletter - I wrote about why being undermothered shows up the way it does in your mothering now.

Half of Canadian moms struggled with their mental health during pregnancy or postpartum.
➡️ One in five who needed help didn’t get it.
And 21% said nobody in the health care system ever even asked.

Save this. Send it to a mom who needed to hear it.

And if you wanna be pen pals I invite you to join my newsletter for honest conversations who are done white knuckling it till bedtime.

Swipe ➡️ and You see a list of my work and a few personal items.

You don’t see the woman who told me a story she’d never shared with anyone else.

You don’t see the three moms who broke down crying this week - the anger, the pressure, the guilt palpable even over the WiFi

You don’t see the care going into every word on my website - the page moms land on in their worst moments, trying to figure out if I might be the right person to help them.

You see three things I budget for in my own self-care.
Because I have to be okay to show up for the moms who need me on my game.

If this found you at the right time, follow for more.

I’ll be teaching this to my clients all week.

Also don’t come at me for my imperfect lipsyncing … done is better then perfect… just keeping y’all on your toes so you know I’m a real human and not an AI robot posting perfect content about being an adhd momprenuer in this crazy complex world we live in.

And if you don’t already follow along with me hey! I’m Kayla, a 🇨🇦 mom trying to be a mostly functioning human being .huszar

You know what's wild?
We're told to "fill our own cups" but nobody mentions that the cup has 47 holes in it and you're carrying everyone else's cups too.
So you try.
You wake up early for that morning coffee alone.
You take the long way home from drop-off.
You scroll Pinterest looking for "self-care ideas for busy moms" at 11pm.
And still - the guilt shows up.
Guilt that you're taking time away from your kids. Guilt that you're not grateful enough for what you have. Guilt that other moms seem to manage without needing so much.

I wrote about this - how to actually take care of yourself when mom guilt makes everything feel selfish
What's one thing you want to do for yourself but the guilt stops you every time?

A client told me last week: “I feel so guilty all the time.”

So I asked her to finish this sentence: “I feel guilty because…”

She wrote a whole list of 💩 : the main theme was she felt like a bad mom.
That’s not guilt. That’s shame.

Guilt = I did something bad
Shame = I am bad / broken / not good enough

Guilt lives in your actions. Shame lives in your identity.

And a lot (and I mean a lot) of us are walking around calling it “mom guilt” when what we’re actually carrying is the belief that we’re fundamentally not enough (shame).

You can repair guilt. You apologize, you try differently, you move forward.

Shame just keeps you stuck proving you’re not as bad as you think you are.
