## Caption

When I originally made this story someone DM’d me saying “You are about to have a mental breakdown” and it just further proved my point how difficult it is for creators to be authentic on these platforms. 😂😭

Up until this video nothing I posted would indicate I was feeling overwhelmed. They were simple recipe videos, fashion videos, or encouraging words of advice about motherhood. But the second I decide to pull back the curtain to show that not everything is butterflies and rainbows, to show that despite what you see on social media I have my struggles too, l get DMs saying I am “manic” and “having a mental breakdown”

It’s discouraging. I too am a mom who can’t help but compare myself at times with mom influencers. So as a mom influencer in this space I do my best to show both sides of the coin. The beauty motherhood brings in the every day and the challenging aspects too. But each time I showed the challenging side it became an invite to critique the size of my family, despite the fact that I felt more overwhelmed when I just had two.

Anyway, despite all that I decided to share this video cause I think it will make some moms feels seen and heard and that’s why I make the content I do 🤗❤️❤️
