When Comparison Creeps into Motherhood
Motherhood wasn’t meant to be a competition—
but somewhere between the birthday party spreads, the milestone updates, and the “I just threw this together” lunches… it started to feel like one.
And here’s the truth: your worth as a mom isn’t measured in organic snacks, matching outfits, or perfectly patient responses.
It’s in the way you show up—tired, real, and still trying.
This week’s journal theme is all about quieting the comparison and coming back to the kind of mom you actually want to be… not the one you think you’re supposed to be.
💛 New prompts are live now for the moms who are ready to drop the guilt and breathe again.
Comparison Is the Thief of Joy (and Sanity)
Let’s be honest—comparison has a chokehold on all of us.
We scroll, we compare, we spiral, and suddenly everyone else’s highlight reel feels like a personal attack.
But here’s the truth: the version of you that’s still learning, healing, and trying?
She’s allowed to take up space too.
This week’s journal theme is all about letting go of the “she’s ahead, I’m behind” mindset and coming back home to your story.
Because peace > performing. Every. Single. Time.
Grief + Loss
Grief isn’t linear. It doesn’t clock out when you’re ‘supposed’ to be over it. It lingers, hits in waves, and sometimes shows up when you least expect it. And honestly? That’s normal.
These journal prompts aren’t about rushing you to ‘move on.’ They’re about helping you name what hurts, honor what’s gone, and find pieces of yourself in the process. Because grief doesn’t mean you’re broken — it means you loved deeply. And writing is one way to remind yourself that healing and hurting can exist at the same time.
Anxiety + Overthinking
Anxiety loves to trick you into believing every ‘what if’ thought is breaking news. Spoiler: it’s not. Overthinking isn’t clarity — it’s just mental gymnastics that leaves you exhausted.
These journal prompts are here to help you slow down, separate fact from fiction, and stop letting your brain run the late-night anxiety news channel. Because sometimes the best thing you can do for your mental health is grab a pen, call your thoughts out, and remind yourself that you’re the one in charge — not your spirals.
Boundaries
Let’s talk boundaries. You know, those invisible lines that keep you from running yourself into the ground while everyone else thrives off your energy? Yeah, those. Most of us either don’t set them, feel guilty when we do, or let people bulldoze right over them.
These journal prompts are here to help you pause and actually think about what you need — not what everyone else wants from you. Because boundaries aren’t selfish, they’re survival. They protect your peace, your energy, and your relationships.
So grab your pen and dig in. No fluff, no guilt trips — just a chance to figure out where you’ve been saying yes when you really wanted to scream no… and how to start flipping that script.
Self - Worth Journal Prompts
Here’s the deal: self-worth isn’t something you ‘earn’ once you’ve hit some imaginary level of perfection. It’s already yours — but most of us are too busy apologizing for existing or comparing ourselves to everyone else to notice. These five journal prompts are designed to cut through the noise and help you actually see the value you bring to the table. Think of them as a little reality check in pen-and-paper form. 🖊️
If you’ve ever caught yourself spiraling in the ‘I’m not enough’ loop, grab your journal and work through these. No fluff, no toxic positivity — just questions that push you to notice what’s already true: you’re worthy, right now, exactly as you are.
