Some nights, the hardest part of being a mom isn’t the meltdowns, it’s the silence after. When the house is finally still, your brain starts the interrogation: What did I do wrong? Did I somehow cause this? That gut-punch of guilt is so familiar, and it’s why this week’s post goes straight to that spiral we don’t usually say out loud.

🔮 WHAT YOU NEED MOST RIGHT NOW
The Fear That It’s All Your Fault
It’s 3 AM and you’re staring at the ceiling, replaying every choice you’ve ever made as a mom. Did you cause this? Did you miss something? That spiral is brutal and it always seems to land on the same fear: “What if I made my child this way?”
The truth is, you didn’t. But I know how easy it is to believe otherwise when you see kids who can roll with anything and your kid is sobbing because the plan changed unexpectedly. The guilt comes fast and loud, like somehow you failed them before they even had a chance. This week’s post is for that voice in your head. The one that won’t let you off the hook.
🔧 HSC MOM HACK OF THE WEEK
The One Thing I Did for Myself This Week
Sometimes the tiniest luxuries make the biggest difference. Lately, mine has been the Caldrea Linen and Room Spray.
One spritz before bed and my whole room feels like a spa, like I’ve actually taken a minute for myself.
It smells so good I honestly wish I could pump it through the entire house, but even just a little is enough to feel like a treat.
📖 ON MY NIGHTSTAND
Why This Book Still Sticks With Me Years Later
If this week’s blog post hit home, I can’t recommend The Orchid and the Dandelion by Dr. W. Thomas Boyce enough. I read it years ago and it honestly shifted how I saw my son and myself as a mom. Dr. Boyce explains how some kids are born more like dandelions who can adapt to almost anything, while others are orchids who feel the world more deeply but can thrive beautifully with the right support. It's an amazing read that's both a reality check and a breath of relief.
