Oof, this one really grinds my gears 😅
“We all have the same 24 hours”
…okay, but we do not all have the same resources.
Some of us are up at 5:30am and don’t actually stop until 10:30–11pm.
Not because we’re lazy.
Because we’re working 💻, parenting 🧸, emotionally carrying the household 🧠, and trying to survive with a nervous system that hasn’t had a break all day.
So when someone says, “Just wake up earlier!”
Sir. Ma’am. Friend. 😵💫
10:30pm is when I’m finally getting into bed after giving everything I had.
If you’re a mama scrolling and wondering how other moms:
✨ work out daily
✨ meal prep like a Food Network star
✨ have a spotless house
✨ and still look rested
Please remember: they may have more support, more flexibility, more childcare, more money, more rest — not more discipline than you.
You are not behind.
You are not failing.
You are showing up in ways that matter — even if they don’t photograph well 📸💛
Be gentle with yourself.
Honor what you carry.
Celebrate what you do.
That counts. Always. 🫶✨
