No wonder, that YOU may feel lot of shame and guilt. What's wrong with me? Why don't I enjoy parenthood that much? Why don't I bond with my baby? Let me tell you! There's nothing wrong with you and it's not your fault. There's many parents who struggle with postpartum depression and anxiety, 1 in 7, in some cases 1 in 5 parent. I created this page to share educational content to raise awareness on this matter and hopefully help someone who stumbles upon it.

Strong moms cry quietly.
Then the body takes over.

That’s not a breakdown.
That’s biology after too much holding, swallowing, functioning, pushing through.

The tears you don’t have time for don’t disappear.
They wait.
They show up as exhaustion, numbness, rage, panic, pain.

This is why I don’t praise the moms who “never cry.”
I worry about them.
As a therapist for moms, a mom of two, someone who learned this the hard way.

The holidays have a way of turning up the volume on everything postpartum already holds.

More people.
More expectations.
Less rest.

I see so many moms this time of year convinced something is wrong with them for feeling irritable, anxious, or overwhelmed when what’s really happening is a nervous system under pressure.

This isn’t a mindset problem.
It’s not a gratitude issue.
It’s what happens when recovery meets performance season.

I’m sharing this as a therapist who works with mothers every day, and as a mom of two who knows how heavy this season can feel behind closed doors.

You don’t have to make this season magical.
You’re allowed to make it survivable.

If this landed, you’re not imagining it and you’re not alone in it.

Loving yourself isn’t selfish.
It’s how you stay human when everyone needs something from you.

Save this for the days you forget. 🤍

Your worst thoughts aren’t the truth.

Intrusive thoughts in postpartum can feel terrifying especially when no one ever told you they might show up.
They don’t mean you want something bad to happen.
They don’t say anything about your character.
And they absolutely don’t cancel out your love for your baby.

What they usually signal is a nervous system on high alert:exhausted, hormonal, trying to protect what matters most.

I see this every week as a therapist for moms.
And I’ve lived it as a mom too.

You’re not broken.
You’re not unsafe.
You’re not failing motherhood.

You’re human and you deserve support, not silence.

If this resonated, save it for the days your mind feels loud.
Share it with a mom who might be struggling quietly.
Or comment “me” so you know you’re not alone.

Sometimes the birth ends, the baby is here, and everyone expects you to move on
but your mind doesn’t.

You keep replaying the moment when you felt confused, unsupported, or unsure what to do.
Not because you’re dwelling but because your nervous system didn’t feel safe.

This is one way birth trauma can show up.
Quietly. Repetitively. Often with self-blame.

If this resonates, please know: you’re not weak and you’re not alone. Many moms carry these moments silently, and support can make a real difference.

If this speaks to you, feel free to comment, save, or share with another mom who might need to hear it today. 💛

I don’t rank moms.
I stand with them.

Different lives. Different seasons.
Same effort. Same love.

There’s no gold star version of motherhood.
Just real women doing their best with what they have that day.

As a therapist for moms and a mom of two, I’ll keep saying this:
you don’t have to earn your worth here.

Moms are expected to be the emotional glue for everyone.
The calm one.
The steady one.
The one who holds it together, even when she’s unraveling inside.

But here’s the part no one talks about:
When you cry, who sits next to you?

Kids don’t judge tears.
They don’t label them as weakness.
They don’t tell you to be stronger or quieter or more grateful.
They just stay.

Somewhere along the way, mothers were taught to disappear emotionally.
To push through.
To normalize burnout.
To treat exhaustion like a personal failure instead of a signal.

This is your reminder:
You’re not too sensitive.
You’re not failing.
You’re responding normally to an abnormal amount of pressure.

You deserve the same compassion you give so freely to everyone else.
And no, you don’t have to “earn” it by breaking first.

If this post feels uncomfortably accurate, it’s because it’s naming something real.

Going back to work after having a baby is no joke.
It’s the guilt, the worry, the pressure to “be fine”, all at once.
And nobody sees how heavy it really is.
You’re not failing.
You’re adjusting to something incredibly hard.

Save this if you’re in the thick of it, share it with a mom who gets it, and follow for more real support.
And yes, binge my content for all things postpartum and mom life. You deserve that care.
