Ready to Enjoy Life Again?
Now's Your Chance.
I’ve heard so many times that the chaos of motherhood is “just a phase” as if we’re supposed to be okay living in survival mode.
Enough is enough.
Twenty months ago I had my second little girl and life was tough. I felt like I was suffocating, my life felt worthless, and every day was the same. After a tough six months battling PPD, I finally realized I couldn’t do it on my own. I got on medication and began seeing a counselor regularly, but the true healing started to come as I got out of the fog and realized I had lost myself.
I was no longer Amanda, a recovering perfectionist, introvert, and creator who likes to feel accomplished.
I was a mom. From sunup to sundown I poured my everything into my girls and I lost myself.
As I worked through the details of my life and how to move forward, I realized I needed to make myself a priority and do something fun every day. I committed to taking time each day to be creative in some way—and to say it helped would be an understatement.
I found joy again. I found laughter and abounding creativity. I cherished my girls. I loved my husband better.
Let’s stop just “surviving” and instead focus on THRIVING. As we explore in Creative Momma, self-care and creativity are a necessary and crucial part of being a momma.
