That's my big message, especially to moms.  Sometimes we use a lot of words to describe where we’re at – ‘I'm such a mess. I'm so cluttered. I'm so overwhelmed.’ But if you really start to put it out there, it comes down to fear. I love my child and I also really wanna have something for myself too. This is a very normal human experience and the more we normalize it and the more we recognize that the majority of people feel that way – that self-compassion piece of common humanity - we're like oh, we're not wrong.” – Cathy Adams   REGISTER FOR THE FREE MOM BRAIN MASTERCLASS – Powerful Strategies for Anxiety, Overwhelm, & Burnout   TAKE THE PERSONALITY PATTERN QUIZ!
