Yessssssssss to all of this. Time pressure is such a relatable concept. And I agree that the news cycle doesn't help at all. I've been trying to take a daily nap, and though it sounds like just another box to check off, it has definitely helped me slow down. Rage on, Mama!

I feel this - my kids are older, and our time during the pandemic was fun - I got to hang with them as young almost adults which deepened our relationships. While I was exhausted during those earlier years of parenthood I was able to right the ship, so to speak, as they got older. It seems as though today's parents don't have that luxury. Covid fatigue and general the-world-is-coming-to-an-end numbness is real, and you're stuck in the beating black heart of it all. So yes, feel all the self-compassion you can muster! This shit is hard. Every smile is a victory.
