You know that feeling when you just want to disappear into the couch with a cup of tea and a show that doesn’t require any brain cells? Yeah, me too. But sometimes, the universe (or your child) has other plans.
The other night, my kiddo was in full meltdown mode. He was tired, overstimulated, and taking all his frustrations out on me. And I felt my own irritation start to rise. It had been a long day - just the two of us—and my introverted soul was desperate for some alone time to reset.
But my kid didn’t need me to check out. He needed me to be calm. He needed to borrow my calm to regulate himself. And in that moment, I had a choice. I could react from my exhaustion and frustration, or I could take a breath and tap into my tools.
So I paused.
I asked myself the questions I always come back to: Even though we’ve been together all day, have we actually connected? And the answer was no. We’d been in the same space, sure, but true connection? It hadn’t happened.
So I let him be mad. I didn’t try to fix it, rush it, or shut it down. I got down on his level and asked, “Do you need some Mommy/Tyson time?” (Because yes, in this house, snuggles are a full-contact sport.)
He did. And when his little body folded into mine, the tension melted. We cuddled. He relaxed. And I was reminded - again - why I do the deeper inner work for myself.
This is the emotional load we carry as moms. It’s not just the logistics - the appointments, the snacks, the endless laundry. It’s the unseen work of holding space for our kids’ big feelings while managing our own. It’s why so many of us are walking around completely fried.
But here’s the thing: You don’t have to stay in that state of depletion. When you do the work to release the emotional patterns you’ve been carrying since childhood - the ones that make you snap, shut down, or feel guilty - you create more ease. More freedom. More moments of calm you can pass on to your kids.
This is exactly what I help women do in my 1:1 SEER Method sessions. We get to the root of those triggers, untangle the old emotional knots, and help you become the calm, connected, joyful mom (and human) you want to be. If you’re ready to carry that emotional load with more grace - and put some of it down

- I’d love to support you.
Your peace is worth it. And so is theirs.
