Why You Are Enough, Even When Life Feels Like Too Much
I’ll be honest with you: some days I barely have time to brush my hair, let alone sit in perfect meditation or post the perfect self-care photo.
Between school drop-offs, client calls, dinner plans, laundry piles, and the ever-present guilt whispering in the background, it’s easy to feel like I should be doing more. Better. More perfectly.
But here’s what I’ve learned (and am still learning) and what I want you to hear truly:
You are enough, right now, in all your beautifully messy human-ness. You don’t need to be perfect, polished, or “there” yet to be worthy of love, rest, and grace.
Perfectionism Is a Myth, and It’s Exhausting
We live in a culture obsessed with doing more, being more, and achieving more. We scroll highlight reels of success, glowing families, flawless yoga poses, and picture-perfect homes. But that image? It’s just a snapshot and usually a filtered one.
Perfection is unattainable. It keeps us chasing something that doesn’t actually satisfy our souls. The more we pursue perfection, the more we feel like we’re falling short.
But here’s the good news…
Good Enough Is the New Perfect
I used to think that if I could just get everything “right”: a balanced business, calm kids, perfect meals, polished blog posts, then I’d finally feel worthy.
But real life doesn’t require perfection. It requires presence.
When I stopped measuring my worth by outcomes — like how quickly I could respond to emails or whether dinner was always the perfect, balanced meal, something shifted. I realized:
My value isn’t tied to a to-do list.
Spotless floors don’t define my motherhood.
My business doesn’t need perfect launches to make an impact.
In fact, progress, not perfection, is where life actually happens—slow, meaningful progress.
You Don’t Need to Change Who You Are to Be Loved
Part of the journey of wellness, the kind that transforms from the inside out, is learning to accept ourselves first, not after we’ve accomplished more. Self-love isn’t a reward you earn once you hit a goal. It’s a practice you choose every day, messy moments and all.
That means:
Choosing self-compassion over self-criticism.
Give yourself a break when things don’t go perfectly.
Recognizing that imperfection doesn’t make you less: it makes you human.
What This Looks Like in Real Mom Life
Some days before I shower, I meditate for five minutes; other days, the quietest part of my morning is when the kids have their mouths full of syrup and waffles, and I finally have a moment to breathe.
Some weeks, my business moves forward beautifully, and other weeks I’m scrambling just to keep up.
And you know what?
That’s life. And it’s enough.
When you let go of perfection, you free yourself to love the life you have, not the one you think you’re supposed to have.
A Daily Reminder for You (and Me)
Let today be the day you say:
I am enough.
My flaws don’t disqualify me from love.
Progress matters more than perfection.
And if that feels scary, that’s okay. It’s supposed to. Growth rarely feels comfortable.
But every step you take toward embracing yourself, as you are, right now, is a step toward peace, presence, and true wellness.
Put down your phone. Turn off your TV. Look in the mirror. Look into your own beautiful eyes and repeat the affirmations below.
I am not behind.
I am not lacking.
I am not perfect.
I am enough.
If you need anymore help, reach out. I am here. I will walk with you.
Be Well,
Becky
