Mother Hen Coaching

I didn’t always have the space to feel moments like this.

Not because they weren’t happening, but because my mind was always somewhere else...

Thinking ahead, keeping track of everything, holding the mental load of motherhood.

And I know I’m not the only one.

So many moms are in beautiful moments like this…
but can’t fully be in them.

Not because they’re doing anything wrong,
but because they’re carrying so much behind the scenes.

Maternal mental health isn’t just about when things feel really hard...

It’s also about having the support to actually feel the good moments too.

If this resonates, comment SHIFT and I’ll send you something that’s been helping a lot of moms feel more like themselves again. 💕

I’m not sure who needs to hear this… but carrying the mental weight of motherhood every single day is exhausting.

No one really sees the mental load mothers carry.

The constant thinking ahead.
Remembering everything.
Managing everyone’s needs while trying not to lose yourself in the process.

It’s answering questions while mentally planning dinner.
Trying to be present while your brain is already onto the next five things.
Feeling overstimulated but continuing to show up anyway.

And because so many moms keep functioning through it…
people assume they’re okay.

But maternal mental health isn’t only about the moments where everything falls apart.

Sometimes it’s the invisible weight you carry every single day before you ever reach that point.

The pressure.
The emotional labor.
The constant responsibility.

This is why support matters.
This is why mothers matter too.

And maybe the goal isn’t to “handle it better.”
Maybe mothers were never meant to carry this much alone.

If this resonates, I’d love to invite you into my Mother Shift email series.

It’s a space where I share honest conversations about motherhood, mental load, identity shifts, postpartum, and caring for yourself in the middle of caring for everyone else.

Simple encouragement. Real support. Gentle reminders that you matter too.

Comment SHIFT and I’ll send it your way!

Becoming a mother has made me see my own mom so differently.

There are things I understand now that I never could before:
the invisible care, the constant thinking ahead, the sacrifices no one sees, and the love woven into every little moment.

Now I catch myself saying things she used to say… loving the way she loved… showing up in the quiet ways she always did for me.

Motherhood has a way of bringing generations together.
And I’m so grateful for the example she gave me; one that continues to shape the mother I am becoming every single day.

Happy Mother’s Day to the women who loved us first.

And to the moms in the middle of becoming..
I hope you remember that the love you give every day is shaping your children in more ways than you know. 💕

I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately…especially after this weekend.

Not in a dramatic, everything-fell-apart kind of way—but in the quiet, real-life moments that motherhood is actually made of.

The ones where you have a plan…and then your child needs you. The ones where your body is asking for something…but it would be easier to ignore it.

And if I’m being honest, there are still parts of me that instinctively want to push through.

To show up, follow through, keep going… no matter what.
Because that’s what we’ve been taught, right?

But motherhood has a way of gently (and sometimes not so gently) asking you to look at that differently. Whether you’re just a few weeks postpartum trying to find your footing again…or a few years in, juggling all the moving pieces…
There comes a moment where you’re faced with it:
Do I override what I need—or do I actually listen?
And what I’m realizing is…those small, everyday choices?

They’re not just about us.
They’re shaping what our kids believe is normal.

What they learn about rest. About worth.About listening to themselves.
I had a moment like that this weekend that stopped me in my tracks.And it’s been sitting with me ever since.
I’m sharing more of that story and what it brought up for me in this week’s Mother Shift email 🤍

Ifyou’ve ever felt the pull between showing up for everyone else and including yourself in that equation too…you’re going to want to read this one.

And if this is something you’re navigating right now…I’m going deeper into this in this week’s Mother Shift email; the part I don’t always share here.

If you’re not on that list yet, this might be your sign 🤍

But if you’re being honest…
when was the last time you actually felt that?

Not just said it.
Not just believed it for a second.
But lived it?

Because so many moms I talk to are running on empty,
mentally juggling everything,
physically showing up for everyone,
and somewhere along the way… losing themselves in it all.

And it’s not because you’re doing anything wrong.
It’s because no one ever showed you how to hold yourself in motherhood too.

✨ Imagine if taking care of yourself didn’t feel like something you had to earn.
✨ Imagine if you actually knew what you needed—and gave yourself permission to honor it.
✨ Imagine feeling like you again… while still being the mom you want to be.

That’s exactly what we start to uncover inside my Motherhood Vision Sessions.

Not more to-do’s.
Not more pressure.
Just space for you.

If that’s something you’ve been craving, you can message me the word VISION or check the link in my bio. Let’s get back to YOU! 💕

After my last post about “two things can be true,” I kept thinking about this.

So many moms tell me, “I just don’t feel like myself anymore.”

But what if you’re not lost? What if you’re layered?

Layered under the noise, the mental load, the constant responsibility of being the one everyone depends on.

Coming back to yourself doesn’t require reinventing your life. It doesn’t require a new routine, a new body, or a different season.

It requires space.

Space to slow down long enough to hear your own thoughts again. Space to remember what you want. Space to notice who you’re becoming in this season.

That’s what we create inside a Motherhood Vision Session, a pause long enough to hear your own voice again.

If you’ve been craving that kind of clarity, comment SPACE and I’ll send you the link 💜

You deserve more than survival mode.

Somewhere along the way, we stopped jumping in the photo.
Stopped laughing as loud.
Stopped doing it for us.

But what if we didn’t wait?

Taking care of yourself isn’t selfish —
it’s what makes moments like this possible.

The more I prioritize my own healing, joy, and identity…
the more present, playful, and patient I get to be with her.

Here’s to showing up for ourselves again! 💕

If this resonates, drop a 🩷below or share your favorite silly photo you’re glad you did get in — I’d love to celebrate you too.

❤️ 💕
