Let go of "perfect" and rediscover yourself amid the beautiful chaos of motherhood.
Virtual Therapy in Massachusetts
Are You Feeling...
Overwhelmed by competing responsibilities and constant "shoulds"
Lost in the endless cycle of mom guilt and perfectionism
Disconnected from the woman you were before motherhood
Burned out from trying to do it all, perfectly
You're not alone.
Modern motherhood comes with unprecedented pressures - from Pinterest-perfect expectations to pandemic parenting. While society tells us to "do it all," reality leaves us depleted, anxious, and wondering if we're the only ones struggling.
The Reality of Modern Motherhood
The "shoulds" follow us everywhere. If we're exhausted, we think "I should have gone to bed earlier." When marriage feels hard, "I should be more patient." When work and parenting collide, "I should be better at balancing it all."
Sound familiar? These thoughts aren't facts - they're symptoms of a culture that's set mothers up to feel perpetually inadequate.
Why Mothers Need Support More Than Ever
The landscape of motherhood has fundamentally shifted.
We're navigating:
Remote work blurring all boundaries
Increased financial pressures
Evolving family dynamics
Recovery from collective trauma
Limited support systems
The result?
Rising rates of anxiety, depression, and burnout among mothers. But here's the truth: struggling doesn't mean you're failing - it means you're human.
