La Llorona’s story has been passed down for gene

La Llorona’s story has been passed down for generations as a tale of warning—a mother who “lost control.” But think about how this folklore has shaped our views on women’s mental health. Instead of seeing her as a mother in deep pain, possibly dealing with postpartum depression, her story became a symbol of shame. For years, it’s fed the stigma that a struggling mother is “weak” or “unstable,” discouraging women from asking for help.

This Día de los Muertos 💀🌼, let’s remember La Llorona not as a cautionary tale, but as a reminder of the importance of supporting mothers’ mental health, so no one suffers alone.

Societal influences on perfectionism and unrealist

Societal influences on perfectionism and unrealistic expectations often create pressure to conform to society’s definition of success, which often prioritizes external factors like maintaining a spotless home and swiftly returning to one’s pre-pregnancy physical appearance, striving to bounce back to regular routines in all aspects of life. It creates this internal tug-of-war that can feel relentless, as we navigate between our own vision of motherhood and the constant reminders of societal expectations through social media, critical comments from others, or comparisons with unrealistic standards.

The enduring impact of societal expectations stems from generational messaging that has been passed down through the years. These deeply ingrained beliefs, worldviews, and messaging require significant effort and healing to redefine. It starts with honest conversations about the impacts of societal expectations on mothers and their mental health.

The stress and anxiety induced by societal expectations can be overwhelming for mothers, affecting their thought processes, decision-making abilities, relationships, and self-compassion.

Let’s break the cycle of unrealistic expectations by sharing our experiences and supporting one another in embracing our unique paths to motherhood. Share your thoughts and experiences in the comments below. ⬇️ Together, we can create a more compassionate and understanding community.

‘I’m tired’ is more than just an expression

‘I’m tired’ is more than just an expression of a mom’s physical sensation. It’s insight into her emotional well-being and what she’s unable to openly share.

When a mom doesn’t feel emotionally supported, it makes it hard to ask for help, and even harder to allow someone access to her struggles.

If you’re feeling this way, here are some ways to care for yourself:

🌻Ask yourself, “What do I need?” Whatever comes to mind is exactly what you’re needing - listen to your needs and tend to that.

🌻Find a support system that listens - whether it’s a mom group, a therapist, or a trusted friend or family member.

🌻Take time for yourself - that’s right, TAKE it. Tell your spouse/partner you’re taking time for YOU.

🌻Ask for help - we all need help, and there is nothing wrong with needing extra hands or arms.

Becoming a mom brought a depletion I wish I had kn

Becoming a mom brought a depletion I wish I had known about – not just physically but mentally too.

Instead of just hearing “say goodbye to sleep,” I wish someone explained how sleep deprivation impacts your entire well-being. My first postpartum season left me feeling disconnected, my body still giving, but not feeling like mine.

Why aren’t moms sent home with a healing plan? Our bodies endure so much – from pregnancy to delivery, breastfeeding, and the aftermath of sleep deprivation, hormonal shifts, soreness, and more.

Our bodies are doing it all, yet no one fully prepares us. The toll on mental health is overlooked. The changes to our bodies and lives can be overwhelming, leaving us to navigate it alone.

Like a flamingo losing its pink, we lose our color – through hair loss, skin changes, and more. Postpartum is lasting, but you don’t have to lose yourself. 💖 Maintain your color by prioritizing mental health.
