Pep Talk: No.

We no longer have the same 24 hours we did before we were moms, so there's one thing we all must get VERY good at: the word "no." 

Every decision we make is either a deposit or a withdrawal from our "bank account" of time, energy, emotion, patience, etc. And every time we say "yes" to something, we say "no" to something else...often ourselves. 

We're over scheduled, overstressed, overstimulated as moms because we feel too guilty to say no. We're afraid to go against the crowd. We don't want to hurt feelings. 

Go say no, mama. No. Nothing else. Just no. 

You were perfectly designed for this role because YOU are the best person suited to raise your small humans. YOU were empowered to protect them, to love them, to support them. YOU have instincts that drive you through every step of this journey.

Don't underestimate the power of the word no, period. Without apology.
