Motherhood looks different for every mother, and it unfolds in seasons. It’s powerful that we can now speak openly about our experiences in ways past generations couldn’t. That honesty matters.
At the same time, when motherhood is consistently framed as awful, heavy, and something to survive, I can’t help but wonder what our kids absorb. Children are perceptive. When they repeatedly hear how exhausting or unbearable parenting is, they may internalize the message: I am the reason this is so hard.
And about the wine—mothers deserve rest, support, and sustainable coping skills. What actually helps is support, boundaries, routine changes, and care for the nervous system. Not numbing. When wine becomes the punchline, the unspoken message can become: Being your mom requires escape.
This isn’t about shame or judgment. It’s about asking whether the stories we repeat are serving us—or our children.
Motherhood can be hard and meaningful. Exhausting and deeply human. We’re allowed nuance.

I’m loving seeing what people were up to in 2016, in both the professional and the personal realms, 2016 was a pivotal year for what my life looks like today. I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately, small decisions that se inconsequential, can at times have pervasive effects (good &bad).

In Spring 2016, I completed my graduate internship, which low key gave me PTSD. I applied to jobs. The job I really really wanted was grant based and that funding never came through.

I accepted a role with the same organization that I completed my internship with, at a different location. Worked with an amazing team and learned lots. Advocates for my clients in court and it was so rewarding. The pay was so low and the caseload enormous.

When my lease was up at my cute little apartment in Winter Park, I packed my ford focus and drove down to live with my mom. I applied to jobs and studied for my licensure exam.

I passed my licensure exam!!!

I got hired at a residential treatment center with an outstanding team and the best clinical director. I learned so much, and wouldn’t be the clinician I am today without that experience. (The last photo was from an art therapy group I held.)

2016 Genesis would have many feelings about 2026 Genesis. She would be surprised, shocked, excited, sad, and mostly proud.

So when people are sharing about their lives 10 years ago, remember they are sharing what they want you to see. Maybe 2016 was a great year for you, or it totally sucked, perhaps it was complicated. That’s ok.

Read my latest essay. Have you heard or believed any of these myths before? Any common myths I missed?

As puts it in “What Happened to You?”, people pleasing is poisonous to intimacy. We people please for acceptance and safety, but it backfires. True connection requires us to be ourselves, set boundaries, and be vulnerable.

I encourage clients to create vision boards. Not because they are magical and making them will guarantee all things will come to fruition in a year’s time, or even at all. But because motivation is key to creating a life that is filling and aligned with our values.

Although motivation is key, it can be fickle. Life, routines, obstacles, and old habits can do away with our motivation. We can lose sight of the our goals and the big picture.

A vision board is a reminder, a tool to keep you focused, and a way to build hopefulness and optimism for the year ahead.

I made my own because I never ask clients to do something I wouldn’t do or haven’t done myself.
