The Mom Brain with Dr. Sheila

You’re thirty-something. You run your own home. You raise your own kids.

And somehow, one sentence from your mom and you’re eleven again.

That isn’t weakness. It’s an old pattern, and old patterns don’t update just because your life did.

Setting boundaries with your parents when you still feel like a kid 👇
What’s the sentence that does it for you? Tell me below.

The Mom Brain with Dr. Sheila

Three days. A hotel room. Nobody needing anything. 🧳

I did something I felt guilty about for weeks: I left my kids and took a trip by myself. And I came home feeling like me again.

New video is up. If you’ve ever felt guilty for wanting a break, this one is for you. 💙

Tell me below: what would you do with three days all to yourself? 👇

You told yourself today would be different.
And then it was 6pm. The noise got too loud. Someone asked you for one more thing. And something in you snapped before you even decided to let it.
Not because you're a bad mom.
Because your nervous system got there before you did.
If that's you, this week's video is for you. 💛

You swore you'd never say it.
And then one day you were tired, your kid pushed a button you didn't know you had, and it came out of your mouth. Word for word. In her voice.
You stood there in your own kitchen, feeling something drop in your chest.
If that's ever happened to you, this week's video is about why. 💛

Be honest — what's your daily "treat"? 👀🍫☕

The coffee. The wine. The 20 minutes of mindless scrolling after they're finally asleep.

New video is up on why those little rewards aren't the problem — but why they can quietly turn into the only thing getting you through the day. 💙

Drop your go-to treat below — I want to know I'm not the only one running on caffeine and chocolate. 👇

You said yes when you meant no. Again.

You rearranged your whole day for someone else's need. You smiled through something that hurt. And then you went home and felt resentful — and then guilty for being resentful, because you're the one who said yes.

That loop? That's not kindness. That's people pleasing. And it has a cost that most moms are paying without even realizing they're being charged.

New video is up. 💛

The Mom Brain with Dr. Sheila

You're not just tired. You've been tired. This is something different.

This is waking up already exhausted. Loving your kids and not being able to stand one more second of being needed. Going through the motions of your own life and feeling nothing.

That's not a bad attitude. That's burnout. And it is not the same thing as having a hard day.

New video is up. 💛

The Mom Brain with Dr. Sheila

You sleep in the same bed. You eat dinner together. You talk about the kids, the schedule, who's picking up what.

But somewhere along the way, the conversation stopped being about anything else.

You're not fighting. You're not unhappy exactly. You're just... parallel.

And you miss him. Even when he's right there.

That feeling has a name — and it's more common than almost anyone admits.

The Mom Brain with Dr. Sheila

Most new moms are handed a pamphlet about the baby blues.

Almost none of us are told what postpartum psychosis actually is — or that it usually shows up in the first two weeks, when everyone is too exhausted to notice.

It's rare. One or two out of every thousand. But it's a true medical emergency, and it hides in plain sight.

New video is live. What it actually looks like, and what to do if you ever see it. 💙
