Perfect feeds, perfect sleep, and perfect outfits are not the measure of a great mama.

Your Motherhood Shouldn't Look Like Theirs

Let’s be honest—at some point during pregnancy or early motherhood, you’ve opened your phone and thought:

“How does she look that good?”
“How is her baby sleeping through the night?”
“Am I doing this wrong?”

It’s not just you.
Motherhood today unfolds in the era of Instagram stories, curated photo dumps, and filtered reality.
And while it’s beautiful to see other moms thriving—comparison can feel like a quiet thief.

The Pressure to Perform

• The baby registry.
• The nursery aesthetic.
• The sleep training strategy.
• The first birthday
• The holiday card 

It can feel like there’s a right way to do all of it. But here’s the truth: There is no one way to mother.

Modern motherhood often feels like performance art. And when you don’t feel like you’re winning the invisible game, it’s easy to think you’re losing.

But guess what? The mom on your feed may be smiling in matching linen sets…
AND silently wondering if her kid is eating enough.

We all have our hard.

What Actually Matters

Your motherhood isn’t measured in how close it looks to someone else’s—it’s measured in how close it feels to you.

• Does it feel aligned with your values?
• Does it feel grounded in love?
• Does it honor your pace, your needs, your story?

That’s the real bar. Not the matching swaddles. Not the filtered perfection.

And when you trust your own rhythms, your baby will too.

Repeat After Me:

🌿 There’s no award for doing it all the way they did it.
 🌿 You get to slow down.
 🌿 You get to be the kind of mother you needed growing up.
 🌿 Your body, your baby, your rules.

No one else’s path gets to define your worth.

So go ahead. Unfollow what doesn’t feel good.
Reclaim your story.
And remember—you’re the best mama for your baby. Exactly as you are.
