  What Does “Doing It All” Really Mean? “You know, she’s doing it all.” It’s a phrase so often said with admiration but also with unrealistic expectations. When society sees a mother handling the school runs, the full-time job, the house chores, and the emotional needs of her children, she’s labeled as strong. As capable. As the standard. But behind that praise is often a woman who is barely holding herself together. The Invisible Cost of Being “That Strong Mother” For every woman who is “doing it all,” there’s often no one checking if she’s eating, resting, or even coping. Undernourished and Exhausted : She skips meals to save time. She functions on coffee and stress. Sleep? That’s a luxury. Mentally Drained : The emotional weight of decision-making, fear of failure, and endless worry takes a toll. No Time for Herself : She forgets what it feels like to have quiet moments, hobbies, or care directed at her. This is what society doesn’t see or chooses to ignore. Not Every Mother Cho...

There are days when everything feels like too much—when the weight of responsibilities, disappointments, and unanswered prayers presses down on you. Today is one of those days for me. My heart feels burdened, my mind is overwhelmed, and I can’t help but wonder, “Am I doing enough? Am I enough?” But in the midst of this heaviness, a quiet voice within reminds me: “You’re carrying it with grace.” Grace doesn’t mean perfection. It doesn’t mean I have all the answers or that I never falter. Grace is the gentle reminder that I’m still standing, still trying, and still moving forward despite everything. The Quiet Power of Grace When life feels heavy, it’s easy to overlook the strength it takes to keep going. We often downplay our efforts because they don’t look grand or monumental. But showing up, even when it’s hard, is an act of grace. It’s in the moments when I feel like giving up but choose to take one more step. It’s in the quiet strength I find to wipe my tears and try again. Grace is ...

  There was a point in my life when shame overshadowed my experiences, clinging to preconceived stigmas that I believed would define me forever. I envisioned pointed fingers and mocking faces, embodying the very existence I swore as a child I'd never become – an unmarried single mother, a woman scorned. Tears became my daily companion, a torrent I couldn't contain. I resented myself for trusting the man I poured my soul into, who failed to honour the commitment we supposedly shared. Amid betrayal and harsh rejections, I found myself no longer wanted by the man I once idolized. A pivotal shift occurred when I realized my futile attempts to salvage a relationship that he no longer desired were beneath my worth. Tear by tear, page by page, note by note, I redirected my focus from him to me – my values, my core self, and my two children. This transformation wasn't instantaneous; it's an ongoing process. I became aware of codependency, narcissism, and the realization that I ...

Let's dive into the fascinating world of the mirror technique—a game-changer for boosting confidence and navigating the maze of trauma recovery.
