Moms share some common needs like sleep, caffeine and solo shopping trips. Guess what else we share? 90% of moms endure the common struggle of loneliness. It’s hard to imagine a mom would ever be lonely in a house full of people, but often we feel isolated amidst the chaos of motherhood. We need each other! We need mom-friends to walk alongside us and share our burdens, offer encouragement and remind us we are normal. Social media would lead us to believe that great moms have it all together, along with a tribe of perfect friends. Wrong! All of us have sin struggles and emotional breakdowns. Great mom-friends get vulnerable with each other and share their imperfections. Stop prioritizing ‘doing’ over ‘being’ because a checked off list of to-do’s won’t offer the same support as a kind smile and warm embrace. Show up for those around you and be intentional with building your tribe of like-minded MAMAS.
