Whenever we walk into our closets, we are seized with a sudden, all-encompassing desire to douse the whole thing in gasoline and burn it right to the ground.
We all hate our clothes. Our clothes are terrible. Ask literally any woman in your life if she loves her clothes, or even LIKES her clothes and she will laugh a loud, wicked, breathless laugh as if you told her the single funniest joke she’s ever heard. None of us have anything to wear. Nothing looks good on us. Nothing fits our personal style. Nothing looks chic yet effortless and comfortable yet good.
We did a deep dive on this. We really wanted to understand why we all hate our clothes.
We figured it out.

Have you ever noticed kids socializing at a playground? They just walk right up to each other and bluntly blurt out, “Hi! Do you want to play with me?” Sure, they may be drawn to certain children more than others – it’s not like anyone just fits the bill immediately, but overall, friends are easy. You meet, and voila! You’re friends! Wouldn’t it be incredible if it was the same way as adults? Or better yet – as moms? But instead, on the very same playground, those kids’ mothers are doing the very opposite. They’re keeping to themselves, scrolling their phones, pushing swings and bellowing the occasional “Be careful!” while they snack on Goldfish crackers. Because meeting mom friends is hard. There isn’t an app to swipe right and there’s no chance to send over a drink from across the room. But! If, by chance, you end up chatting with the messy-bunned beauty next to you while dumping sand out of shoes, know that if you want to keep (play)dating this chick, there are some unspoken rules to abide by in order to make it Mom Friend official.

Recently, my mom was lamenting mistakes she made as a mother while my brothers and I were kids. It broke my heart to hear it. It was such a moving example of what a lot of moms do, which is to beat themselves up for the mistakes they made or believe they are making as mothers.
Beyond that layer of regret, however, lay a deeper more persistent thought process of negative self-talk. It’s a process of constant self-berating that basically adds up to ‘I’m not good enough.’ I’m not a good enough mother. I’m just not good enough, period.
Sometimes the flood of negative inner chatter can be so consistent that it’s hard to imagine a time without them.
If you grew up in a household of highly critical and judgmental people, then you most likely absorbed all of it like a sponge, internalizing it and on a subconscious level, turning it into your own inner critic.
How do you talk to yourself?
