As a busy mompreneur or professional working mother, your plate is always full—balancing work deadlines, family responsibilities, and the never-ending to-do list. And when you’re also struggling with leaky bladders, persistent pain, or weak core strength, that little voice in your head—the Inner Critic—can feel louder than ever.
"You should be doing more."
"Why haven’t you figured this out yet?"
"Other moms seem to handle it better."
But here’s the truth: That voice is just noise. It’s time to turn it down and start treating yourself with the same compassion you give to everyone else.
Why Your Inner Critic Gets Louder When You’re Exhausted
When you're juggling work and motherhood, exhaustion becomes your daily companion. Stress, sleep deprivation, and physical discomfort can make self-doubt creep in, making you feel like you're not doing "enough." But you are doing so much more than you realize.
Your health, healing, and well-being matter, and they deserve space in your life—just like your work and family commitments.
How to Shrink the Noise and Reclaim Your Confidence
1. Shift from Self-Criticism to Self-Awareness
Instead of letting negative thoughts spiral, check in with your body and emotions.
🔹 Are you feeling tightness in your core?
🔹 Do you notice leaks when you sneeze or exercise?
🔹 Are you carrying tension in your shoulders from stress?
These are not signs of failure—they’re signals from your body asking for support. Small steps like deep breathing, stretching, or a short walk can help ease discomfort and improve your strength over time.
2. Replace Guilt with Self-Compassion
Healing isn’t about perfection—it’s about consistent care. When your Inner Critic whispers that you’re not doing enough, remind yourself:
💛 "I am doing my best with what I have today, and that is enough."
Would you tell a friend that she’s failing because she’s struggling? Of course not. You’d offer her encouragement. Give yourself the same kindness.
3. Set Small Wins (and Celebrate Them!)
Instead of waiting for big breakthroughs, focus on small victories:
✨ Held your plank 5 seconds longer? Celebrate!
✨ Drank more water today? That’s progress!
✨ Took a break to breathe instead of pushing through stress? Huge win!
Every step forward is a step toward strength, confidence, and vitality.
Your Well-Being is Worth It
Being a mompreneur or professional working mother is demanding—but you don’t have to sacrifice your health. By shrinking the noise of your Inner Critic and taking small, intentional steps, you’ll build confidence, regain your strength, and feel more energized.
