Sunday Soul — Here We Are in 2026

🔥

There’s no need to push for a second wind. You've all worked hard this year — some of you in ways no one else can see.This week felt more like bearing weight than setting goals, and that matters.

Over the past year, I’ve watched many of you carry real life quietly and steadily:

@Jessica Z
— taking a much-needed vacation and rebounding
@Leia Jones
— carrying the weight of intensive caregiving
@Emily Millsaps
— building her business and tightening her systems
@Vickie Hecker
— navigating big life changes
@Samantha Goulet
— caring for her kid, her aging horse, and holding work together
@Terri Davis
— caring for her beautiful grandkids
@Faith Snider
— homeschooling, working, and renovating a house
@Bridgette Devin
— managing health while caring for family
@Bethany Locklear
— breathing again after turbulent seasons

None of this is flashy.All of it counts.

Mom Jungle exists because most of us don’t need motivation — we need reassurance, fewer decisions, and space to think clearly again. We already show up. We already do the work. What wears us down is not the work itself, but the pressure to constantly perform it.

This community is becoming a place for:

frank but kind conversation
quiet reflection
systems that support instead of impress
humor that takes the edge off

A little scrappy.

A little awkward.

Thoughtful.

Real.

As a quick note for those of you who build things: engagement always dips during holidays. I posted less on purpose because I didn’t want anyone feeling behind while they were simply living. That information matters — and it informs how we move forward.

So here’s what this coming week looks like:

Monday: Subtract for Sanity begins — a small experiment focused on reducing mental load, not adding tasks
Tuesday morning: Coffee Break — short, practical, and grounded

No hype.

No pressure.

No productivity theater.

Experiments are how we learn here. Participation is optional. Presence is enough.

If Mom Jungle is your place to rest, reflect, recalibrate, or simply not explain yourself — you’re in the right room.

Be with us.

We’re privileged to be this particular family of moms.
