You do not carry this all alone

  • 3 days ago

There’s a kind of quiet weight that doesn’t always get spoken about.


The kind you carry when you’re a single parent…juggling the house, the to-do list that never ends, the emotional world of your child, your own hormones, your work, your energy…

and somehow still trying to keep your head above water and the laudry folded (my towels are not this straight).


If you know that feeling — I want to say this first:


🩷You are not the only one carrying it.


🩷And even though it can feel like it.


🩷You are not meant to carry it all alone.


This weekend, I felt it. Deeply. 

Saturday morning I woke up already overwhelmed. The 3 day weekend instead of feeling spacious felt overwhelming before it begun.


That “life load” was loud.


But something in me has learned to notice when I’m there. You can't imagine how good it feels to admit this.


To catch it before it spirals too far (definately don't always catch it).


✨ Pay attention. ✨ Take action. ✨ Invest.

So that’s what I did. I huffed my way through the morning… and then I went to a contemporary dance workshop. And something shifted.


Later that evening, I found myself in the woods, sitting in a circle of women, singing — messy, beautiful, a bit wild. And we sang a song that says it better than I ever could:


By Sunday, things felt different. There was joy. There was play. There was teamwork.


And by Monday morning, that familiar voice — “You didn’t do enough… you’re behind… you’re on your own…” was quiet.


Not because everything was perfect. But because I knew I'd taken action to not feel like I'm carrying it all by myself and the evidence surrounded me.



Do you feel like you’re holding everything together on your own?


…which of course also happens in happy healthy relationships where there are more adults/humans around to help.


I see you. Truly. You matter. And I want to gently remind you:


There is always something you can do.


Not everything. Not all at once. But something.


You can reach out. You can create an outlet.


You can invest — time, energy, money, support — in yourself.


You can let someone in AND it's worth making that a priority.


🩷Even if you are a single parent. 🩷Even if you’re self-employed. 🩷Even if you’re far from family.


Do You deserve to prioritise feeling & being supported




You are still held in ways you might not even see yet.


Right now, I don’t feel alone.


And that didn’t happen by accident — it happened because I chose, moment by moment, to not carry it all by myself.


If you’re in that cycle and don’t know how to step out of it yet…


Start small. One ask. One outlet. One moment of honesty with yourself.


Big love to those carrying the load. AND big love to those who help carry us along the way.


We do not carry this all alone 💞


If nothing else, I urge you to start incorporating the following into your life:


✨Pay attention.

✨Take action.

✨Invest.


It's a brilliant pattern interrupt for when intertia and overwhelm hit. I write about this loads in my blog if you're curious to read more.


With you in it, always.
