  How Mothers Can Use Social Media Wisely Without Falling Into the Comparison Trap   In today's world, social media is everywhere — offering advice, entertainment, and connection at every scroll. For mothers especially, it can feel like a double-edged sword. On one side, it offers support and knowledge. On the other, it can quietly plant seeds of self-doubt through endless comparisons.

Follow accounts th...

  When the Avalanche Hits: Navigating the Weight of Unfinished Tasks and Exhaustion Some days feel like an avalanche—not just busy, but suffocating. It’s not just the tasks we plan that wear us down, but the ones we didn’t finish, the ones still lingering, growing heavier with every hour.
