When It Feels Like You're Failing Everywhere

You know the feeling.

The frantic morning rush—getting your child up, dressed (sort of), and out the door. The meltdowns over the wrong color cup. The thing that inevitably spills, leaks, or smears on you as you're trying to leave.

And then you walk into work (or log in from home), trying to transition into "professional mode." But the moment you do, there it is: the email.

"This didn’t meet expectations."

And suddenly, the exhaustion crashes in. The weight of never being enough—not at home, not at work. The crushing feeling that you’re constantly falling short.

You are not failing.

The working world wasn’t built for mothers. And yet, you are holding up so much. More than anyone sees.

So how do we hold space for ourselves in the in-between moments—when we feel like we’re unraveling?

A Simple Nervous System Reset for the Mom-to-Work Transition:

When you’re shifting from overwhelmed mom to corporate professional (or vice versa), try this:

1. Pause for 30 seconds before opening your laptop or heading into the office.

2. Place your hand on your heart and take three deep breaths, inhaling for four counts, exhaling for six.

3. Say to yourself: "I am doing enough. I am holding so much. And I deserve space too."

This won’t erase the chaos, but it will help your nervous system find a moment of grounding—so you’re not carrying everything into the next moment.

You don’t have to hold this all alone. If you’re craving support in regulating your nervous system, processing the weight of it all, and reconnecting to yourself, book a free consultation with me.
