Mom Treading Water (The Imperfect Mom)

Undoubtedly, many stay-at-home moms feel lonely. From my perspective, here are my honest reasons why:

• Lack of adult interaction
• My identity as an individual feels lost
• Days can feel repetitive
• Societal views of stay-at-home moms

However, the real question should be, "How do you reduce feeling lonely as a stay-at-home-mom?"

Understandably, saying that stay-at-home moms feel lonely seems confusing but it is very real.

It is hard to identify those feelings of loneliness, anxiety, depression, and overall unhappiness. Unfairly, our culture creates guilt and judgment if you state you are not living in full bliss every day.

For me, I have found honestly identifying my feelings through journaling and creating an action plan to show myself love has been helpful.

Let's work together to normalize imperfections and remove the stigmas for all moms and stay-at-home moms feeling lonely.
