Has motherhood been triggering you lately?

One of the things in motherhood ive struggled with is being vulnerable in the moments you feel most triggered.
It’s not just about the mess, the yelling or the piles of laundry on the couch.
Sometimes its poking at something deeper
A woundA fearA belief you’ve carried for years
The fear of not being enoughThe fear of failingThe fear of losing control
In those moments it can feel easier to shut down, lash out or pretend you’re ok. ( are you really ok though? )
Vulnerability is being honest enough to say “Shit, this triggered something deeper in me.”
Its not to shame yourself but to meet yourself with compassion instead of criticism 🥰
Motherhood absolutely can trigger the parts of us that still need healing and I think it’s incredibly brave of a mum willing to face that.
Have you ever noticed a trigger in motherhood that felt connected to something deeper within yourself?
