The Myth of the Strong Mom: Why Supermom Culture Is Burning Us Out

Being a "strong mom" can feel like a badge of honor. You’re capable. You get it done. You survive the hard days without falling apart.

But over time, that strength can turn into something heavier:

• You don’t ask for help because you’re used to being the helper.

• You feel like you should be able to manage everything.

• You put your needs last, then feel guilty for even having them.

• You dismiss your own feelings because someone else "has it worse."
