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 services 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

50% solo parenting mom. Four client sessions. Negotiated breakfast, teeth brushing, homework, and bedtime.

And now I’m supposed to feel inspired? To create in my art journal? To have ideas?

LOL. 😂 No.

I’m uninspired. I’m a bit tapped out. And here’s the thing I know - intellectually, professionally, as a therapist who literally teaches this: the missing piece of wellness is creativity.

When I’m flirting with burnout (which, hello, I am - pretty normal considering and fu***ng annoying to be here again), creativity brings me back… And yet.

I have no creative energy. No ideas. No juice left to make the thing that would help me feel better.

The irony is suffocating.

It sucks but nothing is “wrong.” It sucks but I’m not broken. It sucks but I’m not falling behind - I’m right on time for someone flirting with burnout.

Here’s what I’m learning (again, because apparently I need to learn it every few months):
🎨 Creativity requires space. Right now? I have none.

The missing piece of wellness IS creativity. 📚
So this is me, showing up anyway. Because sometimes that’s all we have. And somehow, weirdly, maybe that’s the lesson.

Or maybe I’m just tired and overthinking it.
Either way: I’m here. Uninspired. Flirting with burnout again. Annoyed about it. Reminding myself (and you) that this is part of the cycle. The ebb before the flow. The empty before the full.

It’s normal. It’s fu***ng annoying. And we’re allowed to be both.

💙 Drop a heart if you’re in your uninspired burnout era too
Tell me: what’s your “missing piece of wellness” that you can’t access right now? Let’s be annoyed about it together.

The reality: We DON’T all have the same 24 hours.

Some of us are:
💀 Working two jobs to make ends meet
🗳️ Navigating doctor’s appointments and prescription refills
💩 Negotiating basic tasks with tiny humans 🤰🏻🍼🚼
📚 Solo parenting while running businesses
😎 Being “on” for clients, courier coworkers, friends or toxic mother in laws
☀️ Day to Day barely keeping our s**t together
😵‍💫 Parenting kids who need us differently now (but still CONSTANTLY)

Honestly, You’re not bad at time management. We’re all operating in different realities.

Your 24 hours are FULL. They’re complicated. They’re real.

You don’t need to hustle harder, but maybe You need permission to acknowledge that this s**t is hard.

What took the most time for you today? Mine is in the caption.

💙 Drop a heart if your 24 hours look nothing like the productivity gurus’

I told her the truth 😵‍💫

Sleep deprivation doesn’t just steal your rest. It chips away at your sense of self.

You’re not broken.
You’re just bone-deep tired.
You don’t need to “be more patient.”

You need rest, repair, and a chance to feel like a person again.

☕ How long has it been for you?

If you’re feeling lost in motherhood - like you’ve misplaced your softness, your creativity, or your spark - I help women find their way back to themselves through expressive art therapy and gentle conversation.

💬 I offer in-person sessions in Leduc, Alberta, and virtual therapy for moms across Alberta, Saskatchewan, Ontario, and New Brunswick.

You don’t have to find your way back alone.

Often I remind myself that mum guilt gets the good mums, and that if you’re finding it hard it’s because it is. But when you lie awake at night wondering if you did enough you can rest in the knowing that you did, and that only a forever trying and caring mum would be thinking of them as they closed their eyes anyway.

*also those who follow me and have done for a long time know that this isn’t the foundation of my motherhood, it fulfils me at a soul level. However, and there is a however… our experiences are all different. And for me, the heaviness has absolutely coexisted with the joy. Not everyone will understand why, this is because their journey has different twists and turns. Two things can be true*

✨ Remember her? The one who…
📚 scribbled dark poetry in the margins
🎤 sang loudly (and badly) in the car
📝 stayed up too late with her journal
🗯️ didn’t bend herself into a pretzel for everyone else

She’s looking at your color-coded bins, milestone charts, and meal plans wondering: since when did being a “good mom” mean being a little… boring?

Here’s what I wrote in my journal last week (and maybe you need it too):

👉 You can love your kids fiercely and still paint at the kitchen table just because it feels good.
👉 You can take motherhood seriously and be unapologetically, wonderfully, weirdly REAL.

Your teenage self isn’t asking you to be reckless - she just remembers that the most interesting thing about you was never how “good” you were.

💡 When’s the last time you did something completely pointless? Not for their milestones, but for your aliveness?

Because your kids don’t just need a mom.
They need to see what it looks like when a mom is a whole human.

✨ And if you’ve forgotten how to access that part of you, that’s exactly the kind of work I do - with moms here in Leduc and virtually across Canada. Together, we use creativity, therapy, and a whole lot of real talk to help you feel more alive, less burnt out, and more you.

📌 Book a free 20-minute connection call - because you deserve support that helps you carry the load and reconnect with the parts of yourself you miss.

I wasn’t going to share this, but Nicole gave me permission to tell her story.

8:21 PM. Mom of two under 5. Solo parenting for 2 weeks at a time.

First time sitting down all day (maybe all week). “I just see black,” she texted me.

That moment when she grabbed a black pen and just started making marks - no plan, no pretty, just letting her complete saturation have a voice on paper.

What happened next was exactly what I see when moms are ready to honor their feelings instead of fixing them.

She wrote six words that came up. Turned each word into a sentence.

Suddenly her overwhelm transformed from crushing weight into words.

This works because sometimes our feelings don’t need intellectualizing - they need to be expressed.

What color would your overwhelm be today? Tell me 👇
