Is the pressure to be the 'perfect mom' draining your joy and peace?
Hi, I am Ellie Messinger-Adams a therapist for moms and mother of 2 myself. You are probably here because motherhood or the journey towards it hasn’t been what you imagined. Long nights and busy days leave you feeling anxious, irritable, and drained, with guilt for not being the mom you hoped to be. You want to enjoy time with your kids, partner, friends, or career, but something’s blocking your inner peace. Maybe you are:
Disconnected from your sense of self
Overwhelmed with the intense pressure to “have it all”
Exhausted by people-pleasing tendencies driving you to meet the expectations of everyone but yourself.
Filled with self-doubt anxiously ruminating about every decision that you have to make as a mother
Battling triggers rooted in your upbringing
You might be questioning, “Why can’t I just feel calm and confident anymore?”
No judgment here—I’ve been there too. And, it doesn’t have to be this way. Burnout may be common, but it isn’t inevitable.
