For a long time, I thought I was doing Motherhood wrong. 😔

I loved my son fiercely. But if I’m being honest, I didn’t love Motherhood. At least not the version of it I found myself living. 🫣

I was exhausted, overwhelmed, and quietly wondering why something I had wanted to be so joyous felt so much harder than I expected.

What I’ve come to realize, both through my own experience and through thousands of hours coaching women, is that many Mothers aren’t failing. 🎉

They’re carrying too much.🙌🏻

I recently joined Good Day LA to talk about why so many Mothers feel overwhelmed today, and one of the things I shared is this:

The problem isn’t usually a lack of love.

It’s the invisible labor.

The planning, the remembering, the anticipating, the coordinating, and the emotional load of holding everyone and everything together. 💯

For years, I thought I needed to become a better Mother.

What I actually needed was more support.

That realization eventually became the foundation of Good Girl, Bad Mom. 💋💋💋

If you’ve ever looked around at your beautiful life and still felt overwhelmed by it, please know this:

You’re not broken.

You’re not failing.

You’re simply carrying more than any one person was meant to carry alone. ❤️

I’d love to hear from you:

When do you feel most invisible as a Mom?

Thank you for being here. 💕
Thank you for letting me use my voice.
Thank you for hearing me.
Thank you for letting it land.
And thank you for reminding me that I’m not alone.

I never was.❤️

For so long, I thought I had to have the right answers. Be perfectly polished. Know exactly what I was doing.

I thought I would be “good” at Motherhood.
I thought I would love every part of it.

And when I didn’t, I really beat myself up for that.😔

But here’s what I know now:

I love my son with my whole heart.
And I don’t always love the job.

And that is absolutely okay to say. 🙏🏻

In fact, I wonder how much relief would become available if more women felt allowed to say it, too.

I’m so delighted + grateful to share this part of my journey with you. Thank you for being here for it. ❤️

All I want for Mother’s Day is a capital M. 📣

Not because I need Motherhood to be romanticized more than it already is.

Because I want it named with the weight it carries.🎉

The invisible labor.
The emotional labor.
The remembering.
The noticing.
The planning.
The holding. ❤️

We capitalize what we value.
Doctor. President. God.

So why not Mother? 💯

This is my quiet protest and my loud respect.
One capital M at a time. 💕

A lot of women think the hardest parts of Motherhood are hard because they’re doing something wrong.

I don’t think that’s true. ❤️

I think many of the hardest parts feel lonely because so much of the experience goes unnamed. And when something goes unnamed, it’s very easy to turn it into shame.

This is part of why I care so much about telling the truth out loud. 📣

Because the moment a woman hears, “me too,” the shame softens.

And when the shame softens, there’s finally room for relief. 🤍

If this felt validating, it’s because it is.

So many Moms aren’t asking for more.
They’re asking, “Why does this feel so hard?”

And the answer is:
because you’re doing the work of multiple roles, every single day, without it being named.

Motherhood is a joy.
And it is also a job.

When we name the labor, we reduce the shame.
We stop asking, “What’s wrong with me?”
and start asking, “What am I carrying?”

And from there, things can actually change.

This is the heart behind my policy proposal,
The MotherLoad Wage Act — a call to recognize caregiving as economically meaningful work it already is.

Not to debate whether the work exists,
but to finally acknowledge that it does.

Because naming it is dignity.
And dignity changes everything. ❤️

CTA: If this resonated, save it or share it with a Mom who needs to hear it today. ❤️

One of the strangest parts of becoming a Mom for me is that it didn’t just introduce me to my child.
It reintroduced me to my own Mother, too. 🙏🏻

I started remembering things differently.
Maybe even understanding more.

I started seeing how much she may have been carrying, holding, and pushing down while still trying to keep life moving.

How much may have lived behind the smile, beneath the stress, and inside the silence. 💭

Not to excuse what hurt.
Not to rewrite my story.
But to recognize that there may have been more going on inside her than I could understand at the time.

Motherhood has changed the way I see so much.
Including her. ✨🫶

It’s softened some things.
It’s stirred up grief around others.
And sometimes, if I’m honest, it’s both at once. 💔🤍

That complicated, tender truth is part of what I explore in Good Girl, Bad Mom, the ways motherhood doesn’t just change how we care for our children, but how we see ourselves, our Mothers, and the stories we inherited. 📖🌿

Has becoming a Mom changed the way you see your own Mother? 💭🤍

Culture has Motherhood wrapped in a fantasy. 🫤

The Motherhood Fantasy is the story we’ve been sold that if you’re doing Motherhood “right,” it should feel natural, effortless, and always spiritually fulfilling.

So when it feels hard, isolating, suffocating, monotonous, or overwhelming, a woman often doesn’t question the fantasy, she questions herself. She assumes something is wrong with HER.

This is part of why so many Moms don’t immediately recognize the workload of Motherhood as overwhelming or unrealistic. 🙌

Culture has wrapped Motherhood in fantasy. We’ve been taught that if you’re doing it well, you won’t struggle. And if you are struggling, it must be a character flaw. 😩

But that’s not the truth. 💕

Culture treats Motherhood like a sacred hobby instead of labor. So naming the labor can feel taboo. It can feel ungrateful. It can even feel like betrayal.

It’s not.🦋

Loving your child and naming the work are two different truths, and both can exist at the same time. 🙏🏻

What Good Girl, Bad Mom is (and isn’t):

✨ It IS memoir-meets-manifesto for the Mom who loves her kid wildly… and also sometimes thinks, Wait—what just happened to my life?

✨ It’s honest, tender, funny in a “laugh so you don’t cry” way, and deeply validating.

✨ It’s built on one truth: Motherhood is joy, and it’s a job. Both are true.

🚫 It is NOT a parenting manual.
🚫 It’s not a 5 a.m. “optimize your mindset” plan.
🚫 It’s not a guilt trip in a cute font.

I’m not here to make you a “better Mom.”
I’m here to help you feel like you again.

Launch is next week + preorders are open.
If any of these quotes hit you in the chest, you’re who I wrote this for. ❤️
