Still Wild, Still You💋

Do you ever feel invisible?

Like your life is just a sequence of kids’ schedules, errands, and obligations, and somewhere in the chaos, you’ve disappeared?

Mom guilt is a beast. It whispers whenever you take a breath for yourself, whenever you work late, whenever you say no. It’s the constant background noise telling you: if you’re not giving 100% to them, you’re failing.

And the worst part? You start believing it.

But in reality,
If you keep erasing yourself for everyone else, you’ll lose more than just your energy, you’ll lose your spark, your power, and your sense of self.

Being a mom is incredible. But motherhood is a role, not your identity.
You’re a woman first, and women don’t survive by disappearing.

💡 How Society Messes With Us

• Social media shows perfect mothers juggling 3 kids, a career, a spotless home, and a glow-up, all while smiling.

• “Self-care” becomes performative, Instagrammable yoga poses instead of actual mental rest.

• Partner dynamics can unintentionally erase you, the expectation to prioritize everyone else over your needs.

It’s no wonder you feel burned out.

✨ How to Reclaim Yourself

1. Define Yourself Outside Motherhood
   – Write down 5 things that make you, not Mom, feel alive. Maybe it’s painting, music, dating, writing, or even a solo Netflix binge. Protect these fiercely.

2. Create Boundaries Without Apology
   – Saying no isn’t selfish. Saying yes to yourself isn’t betrayal. Your energy matters.

3. Micro-Habits for Mental Space
   – 10 minutes of journaling, a walk alone, meditation, or even listening to music in the car can reconnect you to your identity.

4. Communicate Honestly With Your Partner
   – Delegation isn’t weakness. Honest conversations about emotional load keep you sane and the relationship healthy.

5. Embrace Imperfection
   – Your house won’t be spotless. Your kid won’t always behave. And your life won’t always look “perfect.” That doesn’t make you a failure, it makes you human.

6. Celebrate Wins, Even Small Ones
   – Finished a report? Went to the gym? Took a shower uninterrupted? That’s progress. Own it.

💭 Focus Reminder

Focus on now, do what you want now.
Your children, your partner, your career, they can lean on you without you disappearing.
If it’s meant to thrive alongside your life, it will.

“Party Monster” – The Weeknd 🖤
Because even while juggling mom life, work, and responsibilities, you can still be messy, magnetic, and unapologetically yourself. Your energy is yours, untamed, untouchable, and unforgettable.

Babe listen: being a mother doesn’t mean disappearing. It means learning to hold multiple worlds at once without losing yourself in the shuffle.

You can love fiercely, nurture endlessly, and still be whole, sexy, ambitious, and unapologetically you.

Your identity isn’t gone, it’s waiting for you to reclaim it.
