You don’t need me to tell you to “cherish every moment.” Some of these moments are fucking hard. The whining. The screaming. The constant touching. The fighting. The repeating yourself 400 times. The feeling like your nervous system is already at a 10 before breakfast. But if you’re constantly thinking… *I’ll enjoy this more when they sleep.* *When they can communicate.* *When the tantrums stop.* *When they’re more independent.* *When I’m less overwhelmed.* There will always be another “when.” And I don’t want you to look back and realize you spent years waiting for parenting to stop activating you before you allowed yourself to actually be in it. That’s why my work isn’t about teaching you to “just be more patient.” It’s about understanding **WHY you’re so triggered in the first place** — and looking at the whole picture: Your nervous system + your past. What happens in the actual moment you’re triggered. The practical systems, support + capacity around you. And the identity, beliefs + patterns you’re carrying into parenting. Because knowing you *should* respond differently and actually having the capacity to do it are two very different things. You don’t need more guilt about the parent you’ve been. You need somewhere to start becoming the parent you want to be — **while your kids are still little.** Start with my FREE **“Why Am I So Triggered?” 4-Pillar Checklist.** It’s designed to help you uncover what might actually be underneath your triggers — and what you can start working on. **Link in bio. 🤍** #TheTriggeredMomma #MomsofTikTok #motherhoodunfiltered #momtok #millennialmom
