YOU GOT THIS!

Check out S2 E4, "The Time Trap (and the magic of the 2 degree shift)"! We talk about our some of our most precious resources that we have as mamas (and humans)... our time, energy, priorities and choices. And trust us when we say that making time for illness sucks. We much prefer making time for our mental and physical wellness 💫💫

In these days of darkness and light
You are the spark
You are the brightest soul I've ever known

The days can feel empty but you make me whole
I'll keep my head up so you'll see where to go
I'll stay above water; I'll tread, flail and sputter
Whatever it takes to be a good enough mother

In these days of darkness and light
I learned how to see
I learned how to fight
For you, for us and for the future we share

Not sure what I did to deserve you, my dear
Must have been something good, something great,
a long way from here

Your cries, my cries, echo in the night
As we learn how to navigate this unfamiliar terrain
We hold each other's hand and, together, find our way

Say it with me, now.

This is about you. Your family. What's right for YOU.

It's easily forgotten (especially during the hectic holiday season), but try to remember that what everyone else is doing doesn't actually matter. What they do is up to them. You are up to you.

Just keep on moving forward. One day at a time, one step at a time. Even when forward looks more like a backward, upside-down, veering off the road sorta thing 😅😬

probably didn't realize the lyrics they were writing were so apt for moms of littles. Or maybe they did.

Say it with me, now.

This is about you. Your family. What works for YOU.

It's easily forgotten, but try to remember (especially during the hectic holiday season), it doesn't actually matter what anyone else is doing. That's up to them. You are up to you.

probably didn't know the lyrics they were writing were so totally apt for moms of littles. Or maybe they did 🤔

👋 Hi, I'm Kat! The voice behind The Days Are Long podcast, and mom to the cutest, sassiest lil toddler you ever did meet.

She's the reason I started this whole thing.. because I realized after giving birth that there are SO many things about motherhood no one talks about, or warns you about. Maybe it's our collective mom-brain, and the fact that we're in survival mode so much of the time, that these things just slip our minds? Maybe it's that the so-called "village" just can't operate in the way that perhaps it once did.

I refuse to believe it's a conspiracy, and I also refuse to subscribe to the notion that as moms, we can't want more, have more, and do more. Whatever that means for you - maybe "more" means more downtime. More self-compassion. More connection.

There is an incredible - and largely invisible - burden placed on mothers.
We need to talk about how hard this all is (and how absolutely wonderful and breathtaking and life-changing it is).

Let's be there for each other. Let's share our challenges, our triumphs, and our epic mom fails.

Because (as they say), the days are long but the years are short. Let's make 'em count.

Pop quiz: what was Cervix-A-Lot's biggest hit? Baby. Got. Cramps.

Don't mind me, I'll just be over here trying to come up with some more additions to this awesome crew. Hymenem perhaps?

I did not create this hilarious, wonderful image or these little stuffies, but I wish I had. DM for credit.

To be honest, I've never really loved the phrase "go with the flow". I'm not much of a go-with-the-flow type person. I'm more of a make-a-plan-then-get-irritated-if-there-are-any-deviations-from-the-plan kinda gal.

BUT... I also believe we can be what we want to be, and choose to embrace what serves us.

I'm trying out the "trust the process" mindset, and reminding myself that I'm exactly where I am meant to be, even if where I currently am is not where I ultimately want to be. So far, it's feeling real good. Highly recommend👌

Our time and, more important, our energy are finite. You gots to prioritize the s**t that's important to you, cuz no one else will do it for you.

Sh*t, sleep, and BFFs. Essential features of motherhood, no?

Stream the latest episodes - or, better yet, download them for later.... when you're nap-trapped, on an epic stroller walk, finally getting some 'me' time, etc etc:)
