✍🏾 Dear Mamma who needs a break.......

With every parenting trend and word of advice, every aspect of caring for your family can be magnified.

You may expect, or feel expected, to reach impossibly high standards.

You might think that "good mothers" are always in control, always perfect, and that asking for help is admitting failure.


Mamma, inasmuch as we have the innate ability to go round the clock, that doesn't make us Indispensable.

You are human, not a robot.

Guess what?

Even robots take time off to recharge.

How much more you my woman?

You are Mom, not Perfect.

What is perfect anyway?

Your family barely recognizes perfection. Truth be told; they don't need it.

As humans and especially mothers, we can sometimes feel that we should be able to get everything done all by ourselves.

However, do you know, should and should-nots usually lead to guilt about failing our own expectations?

Dear Mamma,

Changing should to could as in ‘I could use some help’ focuses on positive action.

This allows a problem to be recognised and solved without interpreting it as a failing on your part, because it’s not.

We are all humans and we are not indispensable. We can't do it all.

Dear Superwoman, that needs a super break

It is well within your right to ask for help when you need it.

There's absolutely no shame in that!

Let's normalize

#Mothersneedhelp

Because in reality, we all need Help!

What do you need help with today mamma?

Someone may just be waiting for you to ask!

Love, Laugh, Learn, Lead and Live Life to the Fullest.

Stay Fabulous!
