Mom Treading Water (The Imperfect Mom)
As imperfect moms, we sometimes try to keep our heads above water. We are the ultimate “Mom Treading Water.” Whether you are a SAHM (stay-at-home mom), a mom who works out of the home, or somewhere in between, we all have challenges, benefits, and experiences. However, what we do share in common is that we are all imperfect moms. As an imperfect mom, wife, and human, I am exposing myself, intending to normalize the sisterhood of imperfect moms. None of us are perfect, no matter what image someone attempts to portray. Mom Treading Water encourages being kind to yourself while discovering your imperfections with compassion. As we learn about ourselves, we become better moms and humans. Thank you for joining me on this imperfect journey. Be kind to yourself. Be kind to others.

The Honest Reasons Why Stay-at-Home Moms (SAHM) Feel Lonely
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.
