Being an anxious mama in this day and age can be absolutely exhausting… and relatable! Moms have seen so much over the past few years, and it’s hard to imagine NOT being anxious. But anxiety doesn’t have to be our identity. There are ways to manage the fear, uncertainty and stressful stuff moms have been bombarded with.
Jenny & Ashley are sharing how anxiety manifests itself as moms and how they’re managing to cope! Journaling (check out Penzu if you want to type out your thoughts), therapy, headphones to combat loud noises, preparing and focusing on what you can control are all very helpful!
