Once upon a time, in a land far far away, there was a girl who was working her behind off to always prove and show to others of everything she was capable of. With that came a lot of overwhelming days and thoughts of never being enough. There have been absolutely NO shortcuts to get to this point where I can say, I need a day for my mental health. The guilt creeps in but I quickly remind myself that if I don’t take that much needed break, I’m only hurting myself. It’s taken a lot of self-awareness and reflection (and courage to be honest) to put my foot down and say PAUSE - I NEED A HOT SECOND aka I need time. I also want to recognize that this is a privilege and I know mental health days are not accessible to everyone. I hold an immense amount of space for you and will continue to advocate for you. Ok, going back to sipping my hot coffee and maybe attempting the laundry and groceries…actually, NO, I’m just going to drink my coffee. K, bye. #momsofinstagram #motherhoodrising #r...
