When you’re in a survival season, it can feel difficult to hold onto hope. Between the exhaustion, constant needs, and lack of margin, even the smallest things can feel overwhelming.

In this post, I’m sharing four mantras that I’ve been leaning on during these postpartum weeks. These simple phrases have helped me steady myself when the days feel long, reminded me to focus on what matters most, and given me a way to keep showing up with more grace and confidence – even when I don’t have all the answers.

I’ll share:

  • A simple mindset shift that makes it easier to take the next step when you don’t know what’s ahead
  • How to recognize when your expectations are pushing you toward burnout (and what to do instead)
  • Why even the hardest breakdowns can hold the seeds of growth and connection
  • A powerful practice that stops resentment from building and helps you get the support you need

Each mantra has a story behind it, and together they’ve made survival mode feel just a little lighter. My hope is that as you listen, you’ll find one that speaks to you and gives you strength in your own season.
