I'm here to help light up the darkness, inspire, and help other mums feel seen and less alone through my musings on life, motherhood, and mental health, intertwined with my faith and grief. This is a space for REAL motherhood - the good and the bad, the beautiful and the ugly. Here, I promise to be open, vulnerable, and honest.
Here, you are seen, and you are heard.
“Comparison is the thief of joy.” You all know the saying, or similar quotes like “Run your own race” and “Stay in your own lane”. And no doubt you’ve all either been told or have told yourself to stop comparing yourself to others. But there’s a particular comparison that’s quietly stealing your joy, and it’s not what you think.
Motherhood is hard. It requires us to carry a lot – physically, mentally, and emotionally. And for some of us, there’s an added layer that many don’t see: anxiety. The overwhelming weight inside us that turns even ordinary days into a challenge. And unfortunately, motherhood doesn’t pause just because anxiety shows up.
When you keep pushing yourself and running on high stress/fight mode for too long, you’re going to break. So, what’s the solution? Rest? Sounds simple, doesn’t it? Well, the truth is, there’s so much more to resting than the word alone implies. And let’s face it, for a lot of us (mums especially), rest usually seems ineffective or impossible.
We pass strangers at the shops, we see other parents at school drop off/pick up, we have lunch with our colleagues, we catch up on our friends’ lives through social media. But how often do we stop to wonder what battles they might be fighting silently?
