Are Moms Scared All The Time? What if That's Normal?

This is for the mom who feels scared all the time.

This is the, "me too" episode on the constant rein of anxiety we experience as Moms.

Join Shawna and Cara as they normalize mom anxiety and share powerful reframes to help you find your calm.

Here’s the deal… Nobody told us that motherhood would come with a constant soundtrack of what if looping through our heads continuously.

If this sentiment from Cara resonates deep in your soul, this episode is a must-listen.

Shawna and Cara tackle one of the most unspoken truths of being a mom: the near-constant state of fear and anxiety that can feel overwhelming and isolating.

The conversation gets real about the two kinds of mom fear: the morbidly practical (Do you have a will? What if you fall holding the baby? ) and the deeply psychological (Am I ruining her attachment style?).

They share the reel that sparked the conversation about moms leaving out cups of water in case they die, validating those secret thoughts we all have but are afraid to voice.

It's a raw look at the "horror that plays in our heads" that is far more terrifying than any movie.

But this episode doesn't leave you in fear. 

The entire conversation is a warm, reassuring hug that shifts the narrative. 

Shawna shares a powerful reframe: "If you're worried about this kind of stuff... then you're doing it right." 

The girls explore and share small, actionable ways to take back control, emphasizing that you don't need to wait until you hit a breaking point to deserve a break. 

From the power of journaling and breathing to the scientifically-backed impact of your community, you'll finish this episode feeling seen, validated, and empowered with tools to support yourself.

TLFMTR (Too Long For Mom To Read):

• The constant, looping "soundtrack of what if" is a normal part of the motherhood experience.
  
  

• If you find yourself worrying about whether you're a good mom, that very concern is a sign that you are doing it right because it shows how much you care.
  
  

• Fear doesn't make you weak; it's a profound reflection of your love and responsibility. You can be grateful, joyful, and fearful all at once.
  
  

• You don't have to wait until you completely break down to deserve a break. Small, intentional moments of self-care are essential for regulating your system.
  
  

• The people you surround yourself with matter. A supportive community of other moms can be one of the most powerful tools for managing anxiety.

What if your fear isn't a sign that you're failing, but a direct reflection of your deep, powerful love for your child?

Remember, you are a great mom, and you're not alone in this. 

If you're looking for more support on your journey and want to continue the conversation with a group of moms who get it?

See you there!
