- *Why does everyone else seem to have it more together than I do?* - *Am I the only one who feels this lost in a season I chose?* - *What is wrong with me that this is so hard?* This episode is for…
I want to take you back to a conversation that changed my perspective.
I was sitting across from another mom while waiting to pick up our kids from school, someone I had known casually for a while, but we never had any deep conversations.
We were just talking, you know, surfacy stuff.
One of those conversations that started and somehow ended up somewhere real.
She had said something that stopped me completely.
She said, I feel like I'm the only mom who doesn't really know what she's doing.
I laughed, but it was because I had been thinking the exact same thoughts for months.
Not out loud, of course, because who would fully understand a mom saying, I feel like I don't know what I'm doing.
That's kind of scary, right? But quietly, privately to myself in the back of my mind where I kept all the things I was too afraid to say out loud.
Here was this woman.
So capable, so loving, so put together as a mom, saying the thing that I had been saying in my head for months and felt so ashamed by thinking those things.
Something just hit me.
I took a deep breath and I exhaled.
Not because her struggle fixed mine, but because the isolation broke.
The story I had been telling myself, it's just me, something I'm struggling with, no one will understand.
That story finally had evidence against it.
I realized something in that moment that I want to give you today.
The reason you think you're the only one is not because you are.
It's because nobody is courageous enough to say it out loud.
Today, we are saying it out loud.
So let me ask you this.
What if the feeling you have been hiding is the exact feeling that connects you to any other or every other stay-at-home mom in this season? For sure.
I want you to understand about this I'm the only one feeling and how to move forward in this is first, the silence is not proof that you are alone.
The reason you may feel like you're the only one, it's not because you actually are.
It's because the hard parts of this season are dramatically underreported by moms.
