10 Signs You Might Need a Mom Reset (and What to Do About It)

You’re doing all the things. The laundry, the lunches, the drop-offs, the pickups, the scheduling, the rescheduling, the hiding in the pantry with your snack of choice just to breathe for a second… and yet? You still feel like you’re drowning in a sea of never-ending to-do’s.

Sound familiar? That, my friend, is your sign. You don’t need to do more. You need a reset.

Not a spa weekend (though I’d never turn one down). Not a deep-cleaned house (but yes please). A real-life, mom-approved reset that helps you come back to yourself—mentally, emotionally, and physically.

So how do you know when it’s time? Here are 10 signs you might need a Mom Reset—and exactly what to do about it.

1. You wake up tired… even after sleeping.

And not just physically. I’m talking soul tired. The kind of tired no nap can fix because it comes from constantly running, fixing, pouring, doing, and rarely receiving.

2. You’re triggered by everything.

A shoe in the hallway? Instant rage. A whining toddler? Send help. When the little things start feeling big, it’s your nervous system waving the white flag.

3. You feel guilty doing anything just for you.

Like somehow taking 10 minutes alone means you’re failing everyone else. That’s not guilt talking—that’s burnout disguised as responsibility.

4. The sound of "Mommmmm..." sends your eye twitching.

We love our babies. But the overstimulation? The constant neediness? It’s a lot. And it’s okay to admit it.

5. You’re resenting your people—even if they didn’t do anything wrong.

Unmet needs have a sneaky way of showing up as snappiness, withdrawal, or frustration. It’s not about them. It’s about you needing a reset.

6. You don’t remember the last thing you did just for you.

Not grocery shopping alone. Not errands. Something that feeds your soul and reminds you that you exist outside of motherhood.

7. Your days feel like survival mode on repeat.

You’re not living. You’re reacting. Everything feels urgent, and you’re just trying to make it to bedtime without crying or snapping.

8. You cry when you’re alone (or want to).

And you tell no one. Because you’re "too blessed to be stressed," right? Nah. You're allowed to feel it and still be grateful.

9. You say yes when your whole body wants to scream no.

Out of guilt, out of obligation, out of not wanting to disappoint anyone. But guess who ends up disappointed and depleted? You.

10. You keep waiting for the "perfect time" to do something for yourself.

Spoiler alert: it’s not coming. You have to make the time. Even if it’s messy. Even if it’s just five minutes.

So What Do You Do With All That?

You reset. Not all at once. Not perfectly. But intentionally.

Start by:

• Naming what’s not working. Say it out loud. You’re not broken—you’re just burnt out.

• Picking one area to shift. A morning breath. A 2-minute tidy. A solo Target run (yes, that counts).

• Asking yourself what you need. Not want. Need. Rest? Help? Laughter? Choose one thing and give yourself permission to receive it.

And if you don’t know where to begin? I got you.
