Motherhood Doesn’t Have To Be Hard
Motherhood doesn’t have to be hard. It’s challenging, but there are ways to make it less hard. I’m not going to give you parenting tips, though.
I don’t believe parenting experts exist. Making motherhood less hard begins with the inner work that mothers do, and here’s how to start.

This will surprise you: Motherhood comes easy to me now. When I say easy, this doesn’t mean that I don’t experience challenges. It means that I don’t let my emotions take over, and I know how to regulate to get back to center quickly. The challenges I experience are fleeting, temporary, and easily forgotten.
I love myself unconditionally and fully trust my intuition. I don’t even have to meditate to release because my central pillar of spiritual energy, which runs through my spine and is connected to the above and below, is strong. How did I get here? Through the darkness.
It’s thanks to my difficult beginning in motherhood (hard pregnancies, traumatic birth, and PPD/A) that now motherhood comes easy to me. When you touch the bottom and lose your love for yourself, you can never forget that.
After healing, with the method I teach as a mom coach, I promised myself I would never touch those dark places again, and for this reason, no challenge in motherhood can move me from my center.
If you’re struggling in motherhood, I want you to know that it’s possible to fully heal, leave the past behind, and open a new chapter in motherhood where things are easier.
You can make motherhood less hard with these tips starting today:
Understand your triggers.
When we get triggered in motherhood, we react to the past, not to the present. In short, The behavior of our children triggers conscious or unconscious memories of the way we grew up, so we react as the inner child would.
Have one go-to release practice.
It’s essential to have a release practice. Choose one and be consistent. It can be meditation, breathwork, a walk, or a workout. Make this practice intentional. While you’re in the practice, declare: “Now I’m releasing…”
Work on your inner child.
This goes back to point N.1. Once you know your triggers and are able to effectively release your emotions, make time and space to talk to your inner child. Make her feel loved, understood, and supported.
Live and think in the present.
Most of the challenges in your relationship with your children are temporary, but we live in an intervention-oriented society that focuses on fear. Ignore this narrative. Face the challenges from moment to moment.
Follow your intuition.
I believe intuition is your compass to navigate motherhood. Cultivate trust in your intuition and your children's ability to grow and figure things out. It’s good to ask for external help when needed, but always check in with your intuition.
