There’s a quiet kind of loneliness that comes with motherhood—one that’s hard to explain.
You’re surrounded by little voices, endless responsibilities, and the constant demand to give, give, give… yet somehow, you feel lost in motherhood.
You love your children, but you can’t shake the feeling that somewhere along the way, you disappeared.
This isn’t just about exhaustion. It’s about healing in motherhood while still being present. It’s about breaking the cycles you inherited, so your children don’t have to carry the same burdens. It’s about healing generational trauma—but doing it while you’re still in the thick of raising them.
And if you feel overwhelmed by that? You’re not alone. But healing doesn’t have to be complicated. Here are three powerful ways to start reclaiming yourself right now.
1. Stop Doing It All Alone—Motherhood Was Never Meant to Be Isolating
One of the biggest lies we’ve been sold is that a “good mother” does it all alone. That struggling in silence somehow makes us stronger.
But the truth? Motherhood is meant to be communal. You were never supposed to carry all of this by yourself.
💡 Try this:
- Ask for help and receive it without guilt. Whether it’s your partner, a friend, or a trusted community—let yourself be supported.
- Find a space where you can be seen and held. Not all communities are created equal. You need a space that allows you to be real, not just perform the role of “mom.”
- Let go of the pressure to be everything to everyone. Your children don’t need a perfect mother; they need a present one.
Healing in motherhood starts with allowing yourself to be supported.
2. Reconnect With the Woman You Were Before Motherhood
You had dreams, desires, and passions before you became a mother. And guess what? They still exist.
Being a mother doesn’t mean losing yourself in the role. You are allowed to be more than just “mom.”
💡 Try this:
- Give yourself 10 minutes a day for something that is purely yours. Journal, stretch, read, dance—do something that reminds you of who you are.
- Start asking yourself: “What do I need?” It’s a simple question, but it shifts the focus back to you—something we often forget to do.
- Reconnect with your body. Healing generational trauma means stepping out of survival mode. Slow down, breathe, and let yourself exist without rushing to the next task.
You don’t have to disappear inside motherhood. You are allowed to exist for yourself, too.
3. Heal in Community—Because You Weren’t Meant to Do This Alone
Healing isn’t just about reading books and doing the inner work alone. It’s about being in the right space, surrounded by women who understand what it means to feel lost in motherhood and are doing the work to heal alongside you.
💡 Try this:
- Find a community that challenges and supports you. The right space isn’t just about venting—it’s about growth, accountability, and healing generational trauma together.
- Let yourself be led and lead others. Healing in motherhood is a shared experience. Some days, you need to be held; other days, you are the one holding space.
- Give yourself permission to be real. You don’t have to be the “perfect mom.” You just have to be you.
This is why I created HER Healing Hub. It’s not just a space for support—it’s a space for real transformation. A space where you don’t have to pretend, where healing in motherhood happens in community, and where you can finally feel like yourself again.

If you’ve been feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, or just over trying to figure it all out alone, this is your reminder:
🔥 You deserve support.
🔥 You deserve to be seen.
🔥 You deserve to heal while you mother, not just after.
