Mothering is hard, demanding and exhausting! It’s little wonder we often feel overwhelmed and burnt out. I figured I’d have a few grateful albeit sleep deprived mamma’s out there if I had a little chat about 2 remedies I frequently give in clinic to mothers. It takes a village to raise a child but in the absence of that village women have been left high and dry and exhausted. These remedies won’t help your partner put his dirty work clothes in the washing basket or stop your kids from trying to kill each other but they may help you see them through a different lens and give you the boost you need to keep on keeping on.

What is wrong with mother nature? Why oh why would she put these 2 together? Not always but definitely often! It’s like setting a hair trigger bomb inside the house and not telling anyone. But here we are. Hormonal woman and hormonal kids all cohabitating!

From a hormonal perspective kids in puberty are seeing a rise in their sex hormones that can take a while to level out. That instability can manifest as acne, irritability, moodiness and forgetfulness in both males and females.  And girls get to deal with settling menstrual cycles that flare these symptoms and bring extra with them every month.

It is incredibly easy to ignore the signs of overwhelm as a mother because we are often in the moment when it happens. ‘In the moment’ of a child melt down, injury, avoiding a catastrophic child mediated event, rescuing a child from danger, preventing a massive mess to be cleaned later…

Self-care is not usually at the top of a mother’s list to be honest. And yet it is the very foundation of being able to show up as the mother we want to be. Think of self-care as your lifeboat. It will take you safely to shore, keep you well above water and stop you from drowning in the chaos of motherhood.
