I used to believe I was overwhelmed because my plate was overflowing. That inner monologue? It was like a broken record: “I’m in this all alone. Where’s my support system? I can’t handle it. I’ll mess it all up. It’s just too much for one person.”

Stress level? Skyrocketing! And my anxiety? Off the charts!

I was basically living on autopilot, counting the minutes until bedtime. Mornings were my personal hell – a race against the clock, always feeling like we were one step behind. I constantly felt like I was letting my daughter down, and don’t even get me started on the dinner-time circus. It seemed there was always a new crazy demand just before bedtime.

I was doing my best, but it just never felt like enough. Yes, I was overwhelmed.

Life was a bit of a rollercoaster, but you know what? It doesn’t have to be that way. 

Fast forward to today, and I’m living a life that’s more balanced, more manageable, and honestly, way more fun.

Sure, I’ve had my moments, but I’ve also found my power and the magic of support, asking for help, self-care, putting myself first, protecting my time and learning to say no. I discovered I don’t have to do it all by myself. 

Those hectic mornings? They’ve turned into my favourite time of the day. I now get to enjoy some alone time and quality moments with my daughter, and our dinners are uneventful.

It’s all about understanding that it’s not about doing more; it’s about doing the right things. It’s about prioritizing self-care and snagging those precious moments just for myself.

And guess what? Life as a solo mom doesn’t have to be a never-ending hamster wheel. You can find balance, joy, and the confidence that you’ve got everything under control. So, if you’re feeling like I once did, remember things can get better, and they will.

Here, you’re gonna feel right at home. I provide a welcoming and safe environment, judgment-free, where you can truly be yourself.  And you never know, it might be fun too…
