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

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.

73% of moms hide how hard this is because we’re terrified of being judged.
But the guilt you’re carrying? The snapping over “nothing.” The disappearing into “mom.” The loneliness even when you’re never alone. The mental load that never stops. The resentment you feel bad about feeling.
That’s not a you problem. That’s a systemic problem.
I’m creating a free physical zine about mom guilt - something you can actually hold, write in, rip pages out of, keep on your nightstand.
But I need your input: what do you actually want/need in it?
Comment “ZINE” and tell me what would help. Scripts? Prompts? Research? Permission slips? Creative exercises?
Let’s make something that actually matters.
