If you’re laying in the bed recovering from the holiday hustle, mentally calculating how you’re supposed to clean the whole house, wash all the clothes, and “start fresh” by January 1st… please stop.

January comes with a lot of pressure to reset, start over, and become someone new. For many mothers, that pressure shows up as urgency, comparison, and the feeling that you’re already behind before the year even begins.

You don’t need a new version of yourself to move forward. You can want change and still honor where you are. Growth doesn’t require urgency, perfection, or a clean slate. It starts with honesty, capacity, and support that fits your real life.

If the new year feels heavier than hopeful, you’re not alone. You’re allowed to take your time.

Happy Holidays 🤎

12/24/2025

As the holidays peak, the pressure to do more can feel loud.
To make it meaningful. To make it special. To make it look a certain way.

For some families, that pressure is layered with grief, exhaustion, or the weight of missing someone. For others, it’s the quiet expectation to keep everything moving, joyful, and together even when capacity is low.

If you feel the urge to push yourself today, pause and remember this:
You don’t have to earn meaning by doing more.
Presence can be enough.
Rest can be enough.
Letting the day be what it is can be enough.

However this season meets you, you’re allowed to move through it gently. Support is here when you need it. Use the link in our bio to start. 🤎

Winter break has a way of bringing up a lot at once. More time together. Fewer routines. Work that doesn’t pause. A quiet pressure to make things feel special, meaningful, or “magical.”

This is your reminder that connection doesn’t require doing more.
Presence doesn’t have to look intentional or planned.
And magic doesn’t have to be grand to matter.

Simple moments count. Shared space counts. Adjusting expectations counts.
You get to decide what works for your family in this season, even if it looks different than what you imagined or what others are doing.

If this time feels heavier, slower, or more complicated than expected, you’re not alone. Support is here when you need it.

As winter break begins, there’s no rush to make this season look a certain way.
No need to have a plan.
No pressure to feel excited, rested, or fully present all at once.

Today can simply be a transition.
A moment to notice the shift.
To move a little slower.
To let the break arrive before deciding what it needs to be.

You don’t have to maximize this time.
You don’t have to make meaning yet.
Just arriving is enough.

Are y’all dressing y’all’s kids up as the Grinch this week?

Spirit weeks, themed days, extra requests stack up fast, especially this time of year.

If you’re choosing not to do some of it and still feeling a little bit of guilt, you’re not alone.
Guilt often shows up when expectations are loud and capacity is quiet.

Doing less doesn’t mean you care less.
It means you’re making choices based on what you can realistically hold.

If this season already feels full, it’s okay to opt out of the extras and trust that what you’re giving is enough.

You’re not failing.
You’re responding to real life.

The holidays can bring joy, but they can also bring weight. Many mothers are navigating grief, overwhelm, limited support, and the pressure to hold everything together while trying to stay present for their families.

Mothering without a mother. Managing school breaks while still working. Feeling responsible for the traditions, the planning, the mood, the magic. Wanting rest but feeling like you can’t slow down without disappointing someone.

If this season feels heavier than usual, you’re not the only one. Your feelings make sense, and you deserve support that honors the load you’re carrying.

Support in motherhood should feel shared, steady, and intentional.

Not something you’re left to carry alone. So many moms are navigating the mental load, emotional labor, and daily overwhelm without the kind of support that actually meets their needs.

As you name what you need and communicate it clearly, pay attention to who shows up with consistency, follow-through, and care. Real support feels balanced. It feels safe. And it allows you to breathe instead of tightening up.

If you’re trying to build healthier support systems, let go of one-sided relationships, or learn how to receive care without guilt, therapy can help you make that shift.

Social media will make you think that saying what you need (more than once) is “begging.”
But real life doesn’t work like that.

People aren’t mind readers.
Needs don’t get met through silence.
And naming what you need isn’t extra, clingy, or dramatic…it’s human.

Repeating yourself while someone learns how to show up isn’t begging.
It’s communication.
It’s honesty.
It’s adulthood.

Begging is chasing someone who already showed you they can’t offer what you’re asking for.
Advocating for yourself is something completely different.

If you’re unlearning that difference, you don’t have to do it alone.

Asking for help gets complicated when your history is full of moments where support didn’t come, didn’t come right, or came with attitude. After enough of that, it makes sense that asking feels risky.

A lot of Black mothers learn early to depend on themselves because it was the only way things got done. And even now, it can feel easier to push through alone than to repeat a pattern of disappointment.

But needing support doesn’t make you needy.
Some needs are yours to handle, and some needs require people who have the emotional space, skills, and awareness to truly show up.

When you name what you need and the feeling behind it, you give yourself a real chance to be supported. And if someone can’t meet the need, that doesn’t mean the need is wrong. It means you get to ask someone who can.

If asking for help feels heavy, layered, or confusing, you’re not the only one.

So many mothers struggle to ask for help because the people they ask can’t give what they’re needing.

After a while, it starts to feel easier to do everything alone.

But your needs aren’t “too much,”
and you don’t have to carry the emotional load by yourself.

Healthy support exists, and you deserve relationships that make room for you.

Grief hits differently during the holidays, especially when you’re trying to understand who you are now after a loss.

Most of us were never taught what meaning-making really is. We hear “find meaning” and assume it means finding something positive in what happened. But real meaning is much quieter than that. It’s noticing how the loss changed you… and learning how to move through life as the version of yourself who exists now.

Your capacity is different.
Your energy is different.
Even the holidays feel different.

And none of that means you’re failing, it means you’re human.

If this post speaks to you, save it for the days when grief feels heavier and share it with someone who may need this reminder too. And if you’re ready for support as you navigate this season, you can sign up for therapy using the link in our bio. You don’t have to carry this alone.
