You Are Worthy, Mama Bear: Breaking Free from the Pinball Machine Called Life

If the title caught your eye and you find yourself nodding along, you’ve probably uttered these words to yourself more times than you can count: “Why does this seem so impossible at times?” or “It’s never going to effing slow down!” Do you feel like you’re going a million miles an hour, feeling like a ball in a pinball machine, and even when you commit to self-care, it just seems to get sabotaged?

Does this sound familiar? The pressure of work, managing kids, and supporting aging parents can feel like a relentless tide. You might desperately want to stop eating when you’re full or make that smart choice to go to bed, but you stay up just for a few moments of peace, paying for it the next day. You know exercise makes you feel better, yet it’s the first thing to go when life gets hectic. Do you feel like you’re terrified of stopping because you feel like if you did, you’d never get back up? Can you see how this leads to genuine burnout, tears, and a rattled feeling?

You’re constantly pouring into others, juggling expectations, and often internalizing other people’s stress, anxiety, and frustration. It feels like the world just takes and takes, and rarely gives back. You might even find yourself saying, “I shouldn’t feel this way,” or battling the thought, “If I bring someone in to help, I have failed.”

But here’s a truth: You are worthy.  What if you could unlock a deep state of worthiness so that you can call in and experience the miracles you deserve?

I pulled this card today during my daily practice and it is in alignment with this message, wouldn’t you say?

……’Prayer has the power to move mountains, so accept what is rightfully yours’

Imagine a life that looks like liberation. Picture being able to take up space without shame or judgment and not worrying about looking selfish. Can you envision shifting toward calm and consistently protecting your peace? What if you could feel more like you’re in the driver’s seat and less like that pinball, making space for you for real relaxation, exercise, or connecting with friends and family?

“Faith will help you to unlock a state of worthiness so that you can call in and experience the miracles you deserve”

This isn’t just a dream. This is about making what you know are the best choices with ease, having systems in place that help you have a clear mind and a manageable schedule. It’s about recognizing your importance, respecting yourself enough to stand up for yourself, and valuing yourself above the chaos.

Are you ready to move from feeling like a ball in a pinball machine to being in the driver’s seat of your own life? How will it feel to finally claim the peace, time, and space you’re worthy of? Here are a few ways we can begin:

The Patio Box Challenge: A Metaphor for Overcoming Overwhelm (And How You Can Too!)

That Universal Feeling of Looming Overwhelm

You know that feeling, right? That task that sits on your to-do list, gathering mental dust, making you sigh every time you think about it. For me, recently, it was assembling a large patio storage box. It seemed straightforward enough, but it quickly became a personal challenge that mirror the very struggles I hear about that many of you navigate Every. Single. Day.

My Battle with the Box: Can you relate?

When I finally decided to tackle this project, I was quickly hit with a wave of overwhelm. The instructions were less of a guide and more of a vague suggestion. The pieces were heavy, awkward, and stubbornly uncooperative. There were moments – more than a few, actually – where I questioned my basic ability to snap two pieces of plastic together. Honestly, there were times I wanted to just throw my hands up, push all the pieces aside, and declare defeat for the day.

But I didn’t. I kept going. Piece by piece, struggle by struggle, I chipped away at it. I muttered, I re-read the cryptic diagrams, and I pushed through the frustration. And when that final piece clicked into place? The rush of pride and accomplishment was immense. I literally did a little happy dance in my backyard, a testament to pushing past what felt impossible. And also entertainment for the neighbors, I’m sure.

More Than Just a Box: A Mirror to Your Life

This experience reminded me of what so many overwhelmed women face daily. You’re juggling demanding careers, the endless needs of children (grown or still at home), and often looking after aging parents. Amidst all of this, taking time to prioritize yourself often feels like just another overwhelming task you can’t quite get to.

Does this sound familiar? You put off that one thing you know would bring you peace or joy, just like I procrastinated on assembling this box. You feel the weight of it all, the immense overwhelm, and that powerful urge to simply give up – or to not even begin.

Breaking Down Overwhelm, One Step at a Time

But what if, just like I did with that patio box, you could learn to break down those larger, overwhelming feelings into manageable, bite-sized steps? What if you could begin to find even small, precious pockets of time and space to breathe, to reset, and to prioritize the magnificent woman YOU are?

My coaching isn’t about adding more to your already overflowing plate. It’s about strategically creating space for what truly lights you up and rejuvenates your spirit. It’s about empowering you to turn those “I wish I could” moments into empowering “I did it!” achievements.
