Hey, Mama! So, your baby is now 12 to 24 months old and you're finally getting a full eight hours of sleep—just kidding! But hey, at least you've become the master of quick one-eyed cat naps and can balance a crumb-filled kiddie cup while answering emails. Now that you've somewhat wrestled your routine back from the adorable jaws of motherhood, it's time to focus back on YOU, because last time we checked, smelling like baby mush 24/7 wasn't exactly trending on TikTok!
You might feel like your day-to-day life is a continuous loop of cleaning mysterious stains and playing Sherlock Holmes with missing socks. But trust me, this new chapter is the perfect opportunity to rediscover your inner warrior. We're talking about the kale-crunching goddess you secretly dream of becoming when you're not too busy finishing your kid's leftover chicken nuggets.

Here's the tea: you’re not in this alone, Mama! Other parents are just a text away, commiserating over the lack of wine in the house and the mutual surprise over surviving another day. Create a supportive network, even if it's just a single mom friend you can send confused emojis at midnight.
And remember, it’s never too late to pick up on those stroller jogs you and your neighbor once dreamed of over iced lattes. Just remember to stock up on snazzy leggings because you'll need to look fabulous even if you're just speed-walking through the neighborhood.

Above all, give yourself grace. You're a superhero in yoga pants with bedhead, and you're doing a phenomenal job. Embrace the chaos, laugh at the bizarre, and ride the journey of rediscovering a stronger you.
