I’m just a mom, trying not to feel like a train wreck.

Hey, there! Welcome to Feeling Good in Motherhood.

This blog is a place for mothers to learn how to change their way of thinking to empower themselves and be proud of their parenting decisions.

The world is not nice to moms.

Everywhere you look, someone is judging a mother about any, and all, of the choices she makes as a parent.

And it’s not passive “OMG Becky, look at her butt” judgement. NO! It is “In your face, screaming at a mother nursing in Target” judgement.

There are federal laws on the books to protect moms from harassment because judging moms is so common place that we needed actual protection that comes with a consequence of prosecution.

For the first three months of my son’s life, I struggled with EVERYTHING. I struggled and stressed and doubted myself SO MUCH that I have very few good memories of that time

I let the judgement get to me and make me feel inadequate. I convinced myself that all the mothers who were doing things differently than I was, were doing everything better. I was certain that all my choices were the wrong ones.

Even before my son was born!

I was second guessing all the decisions I wanted to make for my child because other people disagreed. None of that needed to happen, but it did because I let it. Those first three months were terrible and I wish I could go back and relive that precious time…and do it better.

I’m not sure when it became so much fun to make moms feel like crap, but it needs to stop.

And ladies, it stops with us.

We are mothers! We have the power to create life and house a human being. We have the strength to deliver a baby and nourish it from our own bodies. We have the courage to stand in front of our children and destroy anything that threatens them.

If we can do all that…why do we let the world make us feel bad or sad or guilty, or whatever they want us to feel? We are the action force in this equation. We pave the way for how we feel about ourselves and our decisions.

I believe that no one can make you feel any way without your consent. I’ll teach you how our feelings come from ourselves and how to change your way of thinking to continually find positivity and empowerment in every situation.

Here you will learn to create a community of encouragement by understanding that the differences between parenting decisions are not competitions between parents.

Learn to understand what judgement really means and how choosing to react to it with intention can completely change how you feel about it.  You’ll learn that someone disagreeing with, or judging, your parenting choices does not make their choices better, nor does it take any value from yours!

I’ll even show you how to stop judging other mothers. (Don’t lie…we all do it… and I will tell you exactly WHY we do it and why it is so important to change the judgmental voice into a positive one.)

As an added bonus, you’ll be able to take these skills and empower mother’s around you; positivity and empowerment spreads like wildfire.

This is a place to help you feel good in motherhood.
