• Consider therapy or counseling if you need additional guidance
• Delegate tasks and responsibilities to share the workload
• Take breaks and allow others to help you with childcare

Celebrating Your Journey

Finally, remember to celebrate your journey of motherhood. It may be chaotic at times, but it is also filled with beautiful moments and milestones. Take the time to cherish and celebrate these moments, both big and small. Here are some ways to celebrate your motherhood journey:

• Start a gratitude journal to appreciate the blessings in your life
• Capture precious memories through photos or scrapbooking
• Plan special outings or activities with your children
• Connect with other mothers and organize playdates
• Practice self-reflection and acknowledge your growth as a mother

Motherhood is indeed a beautiful journey, but it can also be overwhelming. By incorporating self-care, creating a calm environment, embracing imperfections, seeking support, and celebrating your journey, you can create a sense of calm, joy, and confidence within the chaos of motherhood. Remember, you are enough, and you are doing an amazing job!

An Honest and Revolutionary Guide to the Emotions Moms Feel But Seldom Talk About

A few years ago, Dr. Claire Nicogossian began noticing a trend in her therapy room: Mothers are struggling with the challenging and unexpected emotions that surface during their journey through motherhood. In the confines of a safe, judgment-free space, they share about the heavy guilt they carry from losing control and yelling at their children; the crippling fear that they are failing their families; and the exhaustion of juggling work, home, and family. Dr. Claire calls these our shadow emotions. While varying in intensity, our shadow emotions take some form of sadness, anger, fear, embarrassment, or disgust, often a combination. In this breakthrough book, Dr. Claire sheds light on these shadow emotions and provides a path to thriving joy, inner calm, and radiant confidence.

Drawing upon her own experiences of raising four children and many years of counseling mothers as a clinical psychologist, Dr. Claire shares practical tips, strategies, and encouragement to help women in all stages of motherhood. By creating new language for the feelings moms experience but seldom talk about—inspired by the groundbreaking work of Carl Jung—this book has the power to create a radical shift in the way we understand and navigate modern motherhood. With Dr. Claire’s guidance, mothers everywhere will discover the deep joy, fulfillment, and inner peace that are already within their reach.
