I Thought I was Just a Tired Mom....It was Perimenopause

In this episode of Hey Girl Hey, I’m opening up about something that so many women are experiencing but very few are actually talking about—perimenopause.After having my kids in my mid-to-late 30s, I expected the normal exhaustion that comes with motherhood… but what started happening over the next few years felt different. Brain fog, mood shifts, weight changes, sleep struggles, anxiety, and feeling like my body just wasn’t working the way it used to.For a long time, I couldn’t quite put my finger on what was going on.Today I’m sharing my personal journey navigating these symptoms, the frustration of trying to find answers, and why I’ve decided to take the next step in understanding my hormones and overall health. I’m also talking about my experience beginning the process with Simply Wellness and the hope I feel finally getting some clarity through bloodwork and hormone testing.If you’ve ever felt like your body changed after kids and no one prepared you for it… this episode is for you.Because the truth is, you’re not crazy, you’re not alone, and these conversations matter.

In this heartfelt episode of Hey Girl Hey with Becca, I talk about the bittersweet truth of motherhood: we are raising our children to one day live without us. As heavy as that sounds, it’s also one of the most beautiful reminders to slow down and soak in the moments that feel overwhelming, messy, and exhausting right now.I share how this realization has shifted my perspective during the hard seasons of parenting. When you’re deep in the chaos of motherhood, it can feel like these days will last forever. But the truth is—they won’t. And sometimes that reminder is exactly what brings us back to the present moment.This episode is a gentle encouragement for moms who feel like they’re not doing it perfectly (spoiler: none of us are). It’s about giving yourself grace, finding beauty in the ordinary days, and recognizing how powerful it is to have a community of women walking through the same season beside you.If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, stretched thin, or unsure if you’re doing enough, this conversation will remind you that you’re not alone—and that these fleeting moments of motherhood are worth slowing down for. 

In this episode of Hey Girl Hey with Becca, we’re having a real heart-to-heart about something so many moms quietly struggle with: feeling like they’re “too much.”Too loud. Too emotional. Too energetic. Too different.Hey girl, let me remind you of something… you are not too much.In this episode, I share my personal story about growing up and stepping into motherhood while feeling like parts of my personality were things I needed to tone down or hide. For a long time I believed that being fully myself might push people away. But motherhood has a funny way of bringing you back home to who you really are.I talk about embracing the quirks, the energy, the personality traits, and the gifts that make you uniquely you. Because the truth is, when you show up authentically in this season of motherhood, you naturally attract the people who are meant to be in your life.This episode is your reminder that you don’t have to shrink yourself, quiet yourself, or mold yourself into someone else to belong.You are more than enough exactly as you are.So if you’ve ever felt like you were “too much,” this pep talk is for you.

Talk dirty to me….But instead of roses or grand gestures… what if the sexiest words a mom can hear are:“I switched the laundry.”“I’ve got bedtime.”“Go lay down. I’ll handle the kids.”In this Monday Mom Pep Talk, we’re diving into the real reason support feels so attractive in motherhood. It’s not about the chore, it’s about not carrying the mental load alone. It’s about feeling seen. Partnered. Supported. Safe.Motherhood comes with invisible labor…the appointments, the spirit days, the emotional temperature of the house, the constant mental checklist running in the background. And when someone steps in without being asked? That’s intimacy.In this pep talk, I talk about:• Why we were never meant to do this alone• How shared responsibility builds connection• Why carrying all the plates isn’t noble• And how receiving help is a skill we can learnIf you’ve ever felt like you’re spinning all the plates and praying none crash…this episode is for you.Because sometimes the most romantic words in the world are:“I’ve got it.”Tune in, take a breath, and remember.. you don’t have to carry motherhood alone. 🌹

In this empowering episode, I’m talking all about embracing your true, authentic self…. quirks, awkward moments, and all. I’m sharing my personal journey of overcoming the pressure to fit in, the fear of being judged, and the exhaustion of trying to be who I thought others wanted me to be.Motherhood can make us feel like we need to blend in, but the truth is: freedom comes when you stop performing and start owning who you really are. When you fully embrace your strengths, even the ones you’ve labeled as “weird”,  you naturally attract the right friendships, the right community, and the right people into your life.This episode is your reminder that you don’t have to put on an act. The real you is more than enough.

In today’s episode, we’re talking about health—without the guilt that so often comes with it in motherhood. So many moms want to feel better, stronger, and more connected to themselves, but the pressure to “do it all” can make caring for our own health feel selfish or overwhelming.This is a gentle reminder that focusing on yourself is not taking away from your family, it’s supporting them. We’ll talk about letting go of guilt, checking in with your body, and redefining what “getting healthy” really looks like in this season of motherhood. No perfection. No pressure. Just small, intentional moments that help you come back to yourself.If you’ve been craving a healthier relationship with your body, your mind, and your time—this episode is for you.

Motherhood changes everything…. your body, your time, your identity, and the way you see yourself. In this episode, I’m talking about what it means to come back to you after becoming a mom.If you’ve ever looked in the mirror and wondered where the woman you used to be went… or felt a quiet pull toward something more….. maybe a career, a dream, a creative spark, or simply feeling confident again, this episode is for you.I explore why losing yourself in motherhood is so common (and so human), but also why reconnecting with who you are outside of the mom role is not selfish, it’s essential. Whether you’re returning to the workforce, starting something new, or just trying to feel like you again, this pep talk will remind you that your magic didn’t disappear… it just got buried under diapers, schedules, and survival mode.You don’t have to choose between being a devoted mom and being a fulfilled woman. You get to be both. ✨

First off, Happy New Year Girl!As we step into this new year, I want to be really honest for a moment. I’m kind of tired of the “new year, new me” pressure. The endless goals, the nonstop push to become someone different overnight. Yes, growth is beautiful. Dreams are beautiful. Wanting more is beautiful.But what if this new year doesn’t ask us to add more?What if it asks us to slow down instead?What if this season is about putting a few things on the shelf, not quitting, not giving up..but simply saying, “I’ll come back to this later.” Because sometimes, less really is more. And sometimes, doing less is exactly what allows us to breathe again.In today’s pep talk, I want to remind you that if you’re walking into this year feeling behind, you’re not failing. You’re human. We are all just trying to survive. We are all doing the very best we can with the energy, resources, and capacity we have right now.So if this year feels quieter… softer… slowe…maybe that’s not a problem. Maybe that’s the point.I hope this episode encourages you to take the pressure off, to move at a gentler pace, and to give yourself permission to go slower than the world tells you to.
