The Defeat Was Debilitating

For the first two years after my fourth baby, I looked like I was doing just fine.

The kids were fed. The schedules were full. Life was moving forward.

But inside? I was hanging on by a thread.

I was exhausted in a way sleep couldn’t fix.
My anxiety felt constant and loud.
My moods were unpredictable and unfamiliar.
My weight started climbing out of nowhere.
And my brain felt foggy; like I couldn’t access the version of myself I used to know.

And really - the most confusing part? I kept telling myself I should be able to handle it.
That I had done postpartum before, I knew motherhood and that I should be able to navigate hard seasons.

So why did this feel so different? Because EVERYTHING was different.

Everywhere I turned - from doctor to doctor, I heard the same things.

“It’s just stress.”
“It’s just hormones.”
“You’re just a busy mom.”

But nothing about how I felt was normal.
Something was off and deep down, I knew it.

Then came one of those moments. You know - the ones that no one else sees?

I had just dropped all four of my kids off at full-time school for the very first time. I walked back into the house, sat down in the kitchen… and completely unraveled.

I hated how I felt.
I hated how I looked.
I hated how I was showing up for my life.

But what hit hardest wasn’t my body. It was the way I was speaking to myself.
And sitting in that moment, I knew something had to change. Because I did not deserve to live like this.

That was my line in the sand. And the pivotal moment I needed to commit to change and pushing out of my comfort zone like I had never done before.

I started investing in me. I didn’t care what the cost was. Because the truth was? The mental and emotional cost was 1000x more expensive than the actual cost of getting more support. The more I dove in and invested in my growth, in mentors, in coaches and undrestanding my body - the more I realized…

I could actually heal - not just for myself, but so I could help other women who felt just as lost and defeated as me. Please know - nothing is out of reach. And you don’t need to “figure things out” all alone.
