When Motherhood Feels Like Too Much — and Not Enough at the Same Time

Some days, motherhood feels like too much.
Too many needs. Too many tantrums. Too much noise inside the house and inside my own head.
And other days — sometimes the very same ones — it feels like I am not enough.
Not calm enough. Not present enough. Not healed enough.

There is a strange ache in holding both: too much and not enough.

And no one prepared us for that part.
No one told us that parenting would awaken not just love, but rage.
Not just joy, but grief.
Not just connection, but every generational wound we swore we wouldn’t pass on.

If you’re in that space right now — the in-between, the unraveling, the holy mess of becoming — I want to tell you something gently:

You’re not failing.
You’re cycle breaking.
And that’s not something the world has language for… but your body knows.

Lately, I’ve been exploring what it means to parent while healing.
To stop striving for “balance” and instead seek something quieter: integration.
To make space — both physical and emotional — for truth, rest, and softness.

Out of that exploration, I created something for women like us.
Something not to fix you, but to sit beside you as you exhale.
A guide to hold your story.
And a workbook to help you lay down what was never yours to carry.

If that sounds like something your heart needs, you can explore them here.
