The MIBA method
Growing up, you learned that putting yourself first is selfish.
Now you're told self-care is essential—but the world still expects you to be endlessly productive, always available, never dropping a ball.
Rest or you'll burn out. But also, keep going. Don't let anyone down.
It's a setup.
You're not the problem. The impossible standards are.

The shoulds don't just exhaust you. They steal your presence.
This is Part 2 of my series on the shoulds—what trying to be the "perfect mother" actually costs you.
I spent years trying to be the "perfect mother"—patient, present, organized, joyful, never overwhelmed.
Here's what it cost me:
My ability to trust myself. My presence with my kids. My peace. My joy.
Because when you're constantly measuring yourself against an impossible standard, you're never HERE. You're always somewhere else—in the past (beating yourself up for what you did wrong) or the future (anxious about everything you still need to do).
And the cruelest part? You start to think YOU'RE the problem.
But you're not. You were just trying to win an unwinnable game.
Swipe to see what living by "should" actually costs—and why you're not the one who feels the strain of this impossible expectation and standard.
Comment "YES" if you've felt this.

I created this community because it's the kind of space I wish had existed from the beginning—and still need myself.
A place where you can talk about loving your kids AND missing who you were before them in the same breath. Where you'll find practical tools for everyday moments (like when breakfast turns into a meltdown) and support from mothers who've been there.
This isn't about perfect parenting or having it all together. This IS real support, evidence-based tools, and permission to be real about the hard parts.
No cost, no pressure—just real mothers and professional guidance to help you thrive, not just survive.
