Somewhere along the way, we started believing we had to do it all. All the cooking. All the cleaning. All the emotional holding. All the mental juggling. All the quiet sacrificing.
Alone.
And if we couldn’t? We told ourselves we weren’t strong enough. Not organized enough. Not “mom” enough.
But here’s the truth no one says out loud enough: Motherhood was never meant to be done in isolation.
In so many cultures, mothers were surrounded by sisters, aunties, elders, and neighbors. There were extra hands. Extra hearts. Extra support.
Today? Many moms are parenting in silence, in burnout, in “I got it” mode while quietly wishing someone would just ask if we’re okay.
You are strong. You are capable. But you’re also human. And needing help doesn’t make you weak. It makes you wise.
So this post is for the mom who’s been carrying it all. Are not alone. You don’t have to be. Let’s rewrite the story together.

What’s one thing you wish someone would help you with no judgment, just honesty?
