I did something today that felt SO good — I clicked that unfollow button a lot today. Lately, I’ve been having lots of feelings of inadequacy or not doing enough or not trying hard enough. I’m going to let you in on a little secret….that is total BS 👏🏼

There are so many accounts — both influencer and business alike — that set impossible aspirations or expectations. When did it become that we HAVE to work 60+ hours a week to be successful? We have to give up our time and our lives to get ahead. Why can’t show up here with a messy bun and no make up without feeling like we’re not trying hard enough? Why do I have to document every experience or memory instead of just simply living it and enjoying it? Why do I have to plan the perfect/Pinterest worthy birthday party to be a great mom? 🤔

It hit me today & I got a wake up call. I’ve been falling into the comparison trap of social media for a while now. It’s been holding me back from personal growth, and me trying to constantly get to the next thing is just exhausting.

So I started hitting that unfollow button really quickly today on anything that didn’t bring me joy — and let me tell you, it felt SO good! Here’s to getting off my phone more. Here’s to living in the moment with my kids with my shirt stained, hair a mess, and having the best time. Here’s to 40 hour work weeks & more breaks 😍
