If you’re a mom, chances are you’ve felt it — that heavy feeling in your chest after losing your patience, missing a school event, or taking a rare moment for yourself. It’s called mom guilt, and it sneaks up on even the most loving, devoted mothers.
Let’s get real for a second — the phrase “get your body back after pregnancy” gets thrown around way too often. It sounds like your body somehow disappeared and now it’s your job to find it again. But here’s the truth, mama you never lost your body. It’s been here all along — strong, powerful, and capable of bringing new life into the world.
If you’ve ever found yourself staring blankly at the pile of laundry, wondering how it’s only Tuesday, you’re not alone. Mom burnout is real, and it hits even the strongest, most capable women. Between work, kids, meals, appointments, and trying to squeeze in five minutes for yourself (ha!), it’s no wonder so many moms feel completely drained.
