Nuggets of Wisdom from Jyoti
I was so blessed to be able to go through a lot of that journey before motherhood. I felt so compelled to go and share it with everyone else to be like, "Hey, look. It's hard. Don't let anyone tell you it's not hard. Life is hard. These things happen. Moments happen. People have mental health issues. You can talk about it."
Everyone's energy is so much better. My children, my husband, everyone's better when I'm better... Everything gets handled better when I'm my best self.
As mothers, we are allowed to have bad moments. We are allowed to have bad days as a mom and that does not make you a bad mom. Bad moments does not equal bad mom.
