Im really struggling with mom guilt and finding time for myself. I know I need to prioritize my own well-being to be a good mom - after all, you can't pour from an empty cup, right? When I'm well-rested, I'm mentally refreshed, and I'm able to be more present and engaged with the kids, which makes our interactions so much more enjoyable and meaningful. But honestly, it's hard for me to take time for myself without feeling like I'm abandoning my kids. The F1 event was the first time I'd been away from Isla for prolonged hours, and it felt incredibly heavy with guilt. Now, with two little ones, it's even more challenging. When Isla goes down for the night, I finally get some uninterrupted time with Leia, and I feel like I can give her my full attention. Even when my husband offers to settle Leia while I sleep, I just can't bring myself to do it. I'd feel guilty for missing out on precious moments with Leia, so I end up sacrificing my rest to spend time with her. It's a constant juggling act, and I'm struggling to find a balance between taking care of myself and being present for my kids. I guess I just really love being a mom to my core, but if I’m being honest some days I do grief over the loss of my pre-mom identity.
