Here's what I mean by "Reject the Default Mom Life Narrative" First - what IS the default Mom Life narrative? It's the belief that moms life is: *Facebook groups packed with “no, MY husband is the worst!” posts *Memes joking how our kids suck the life out of us… *…but don’t you dare talk badly about your kids or complain - be grateful for gosh sake! *Feeling like a major inconvenience if we dare put ourselves first, feeling guilt the whole time *Revenge scrolling because there’s no time in our lives for us *Nagging because no one listens the first time as resentment builds *If you don’t put your kids first, you’re selfish *Sacrifice is the name of the game - if you don’t give it all to motherhood, you’re an asshole ...and more. We're SOAKED in this messaging - and eventually, if you soak in it long enough... you start to believe it. That's how it works. The default belief is moms are expected to be (and accept being): -Overworked -Overwhelmed -Overstimulated -Endlessly self-sacrificing -Resentful -Exhausted -Burnt out So - I want to you REJECT that default. DO NOT accept that just because you're a mom you're meant to be those things. YOU ARE NOT meant to constantly live life this way. Your natural state is joy, peace, calm, happy, fulfilled, present... and more. Now - don't mistake this for you can't or shouldn't feel some of those things. YES- you WILL feel overwhelmed, resentful, exhausted... but DO NOT accept that as a part of being mom. It just doesn't have to be our default. When you DO feel that way- it's your internal GPS saying something is off. Because it's not your natural state. Instead of buying in to the shoulder shrug of "Well, that's just how moms feel!" - reject it. Feel the feeling, know it's NOT the default or just how it is... and know your GPS is speaking to you.
