About this Episode

Moms don’t just wake up one day and become self-sacrificing, over-extended, burned out women. We were raised to be that way over decades through mental conditioning that taught us that serving others—even at the expense of our health and happiness—was “good.” We were sold a lie that sacrificing ourselves in service of others is the best way we could spend our lives. This Good Girl and Martyr Mom conditioning tells us that if we go above and beyond for everyone all the time, we will feel happy and fulfilled.

This is a lie that largely lives in the shadows because many moms are too ashamed to admit that we don’t feel happy or fulfilled living like this. Many moms are performing fulfillment on the surface and perpetuating exhaustion behind closed doors.

In today’s podcast episode, I’m unpacking the five harmful beliefs that Martyr Moms are conditioned to believe, and I’m teaching you the five affirmations to debunk those harmful beliefs. These affirmations will help you change the way you see yourself and what you believe you deserve so that you can start taking better care of yourself without the moms guilt and patriarchy getting in your way.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

Why taking five-minute pauses to breathe and check in with yourself can be a powerful way to move through stressful seasons
What it really means to be a “martyr mom” — and how good girl conditioning and eldest daughter patterns play into it
Why changing your habits starts with examining the beliefs underneath your behaviors
The five core beliefs (or affirmations) that can help you stop putting yourself last
How to practice making time for yourself instead of waiting for life to slow down
Why releasing mom guilt is essential — and how guilt can keep you stuck in burnout
The connection between patriarchy, unpaid labor, and the pressure moms feel to always sacrifice
How to untangle your self-worth from being “useful” to everyone else
Why it’s okay to disappoint people and still take care of yourself
What it means to see yourself as a member of your family, not just the manager of it
How doing this inner work creates ripple effects in your relationships, confidence, and wellbeing

Episode Transcript

[00:00:00] Hey, I am Mia. Hemstad I'm a wife. I'm a mom

of two kids, and I'm a trauma-informed self-care coach. I also live with diagnosed PTSD and depression. I started sharing my mental wellness journey online in 2017 when I was diagnosed with postpartum depression and anxiety. And since then I've heard from hundreds of women who all struggle with the same thing, putting ourselves last.

This is a struggle that's. Keeping so many women burned out and unhappy through no fault of our own. By the way, I've been working on my own healing as an abuse survivor since 2013, but when I became a mom, I really started to do the inner work of figuring out why I was putting myself last, and how to start prioritizing myself for the first time in my life.

This podcast is about sharing. All of those lessons with you. So if you're interested in hearing honest stories, life advice, and inspiration that encourages you to make your health, happiness, and wellbeing a priority, then definitely stick around. [00:01:00] Welcome to your no longer last journey.

Hey everybody. Welcome back to the podcast. How is everybody doing? There has been so much insanity, violence, and injustice, and I feel like I say that all the time, but it just feels like it keeps getting worse. So just before we dive into the topic, check in with yourself. Take a breath.

I know I need to take a breath. I've definitely been very busy on the mom front, on the work front, on the, trying to keep my body and mind healthy front. Been very busy and I've been noticing that just taking five minutes in between going to the, next task, like, you know, before I switch from finishing, getting ready to jumping on my laptop, just like taking five minutes to sit down.

And breathe and make sure that I'm not breathing shallow or feeling tense [00:02:00] or checking in like, am I getting a headache? Do I need a drink of water? Did I take my medication? You know, these five minute pauses are genuinely how I am making it through right now, given everything going on and while I do live abroad.

It's funny, I was having a conversation with a colleague the other day. She assumed that like I don't feel the heaviness of America, but obviously it's not the same. I don't live there, and I have that reprieve and I'm grateful for it. And I work in politics. I work in the policy space in the national federal policy space.

I used to work in state-based policy, so I only really had to concern myself. Mostly with like California news, state laws, changes, et cetera. But I work at the federal level, so. What's going on is definitely something that is on my mind, not just from a personal citizen standpoint, but from a, I have to know what's going on in the news standpoint 'cause I am a communications director and consultant [00:03:00] and knowing what's going on and how to respond as part of my job.

So I just wanted to share that the heaviness is definitely being felt over here. And thankfully this is not my first rodeo with insanity. And craziness , in this level of work. So I know now how to preserve myself. How to sustain myself. How to replenish myself. Thankfully, I've been doing pretty good at that.

And so I just wanna check in before we dive into today's topic and make sure that you are checking in with yourself and breathing. 'cause sometimes I know that music, podcasts, et cetera, can be distractions from how we're really feeling. So I want this podcast to not be a distraction. I want it to be something that really helps you check in now.

Today's topic is gonna be about five beliefs or affirmations that I want you to practice, especially if you're somebody who identifies as a martyr mom. A martyr mom is somebody who [00:04:00] compulsively cannot help but put everything in everyone first, even if you really wanna take care of yourself, you have the best of intentions, the best laid plans.

It's like the moment somebody needs something, you can't help but just drop your whole day and be there. Now in motherhood, there are just days that are like that. There are days where we have to drop everything and be there, and I know as a recovering Marty mom, that there are ways, if I was really prioritizing myself.

That could have adjusted things or maybe delegated things or asked for accommodations or asked my husband to step up so that I don't have to always sacrifice what I need in order to be there for the responsibilities of motherhood and parenting. And I know that my brain loves to automatically jump to just doing everything myself at my own expense because that is the Martyr [00:05:00] Mom framework.

That is the Martyr Mom playbook. And if you grew up as a good girl or eldest daughter, the good girls to martyr Mom pipeline is strong because we have been conditioned since childhood to care Take. Everyone and everything, even at our own expense. And if anything, if it costs us something, we were applauded for it.

We were told, you're such a good girl. Look how loving and caring you are. Look at how much you, you know, this is, this is the right thing to do. This is virtuous, right? So today I wanna talk about the five beliefs or affirmations you can practice if you struggle with this, this inability to prioritize yourself or this, this, like, how do I explain it?

It's like no matter how desperate, tired, burned out, sick, ill, you are r if someone or something needs you, you drop everything. You drop everything. And. [00:06:00] This is not sustainable and it's not healthy, not in the short term, and especially not in the long term. And the fact of the matter is, is that the demands of life and parenting and motherhood, they don't go away.

So I think to operate from this place of I'll take care of myself when nobody needs me, I'll take care of myself when nothing else needs to get done, I'll take care of myself when my to-do list is finished. You might not think that that's how you're thinking, but if it's been a very long time since you've taken any considerable care of yourself, this is actually the belief that is running the show.

That is. Is influencing your behaviors and your choices day to day. And because it's so ingrained in us from childhood, we don't even realize that that's how we're living, which is the power of taking a step back, examining why you do what you do [00:07:00] and what beliefs are underneath those decisions and behaviors, and then deciding, you know what?

This is problematic. This is hurting me. This is hurting my family. What can I do instead? What can I not just do instead? Because that's what I think. There's too much emphasis in the self-help world almost on like, just change your habits. Just change. What you're doing. And we kind of forget that like what we do is influenced by how we think and what we believe at our core.

So today I'm gonna zoom out of the practical of like the do this, do that to take care of yourself. And I'm gonna zoom in. To your mindset and how you think, and hopefully this can uncover some core beliefs you might have around your belief around how worthy or deserving you are of taking care of yourself, even if it means inconveniencing others, okay.

Or not being there for others right away. One more thing I wanted to say on this is. Don't discount how important this type of internal core beliefs work is. Because [00:08:00] I remember when my, my method of moving through life was literally, you know, if I didn't take care of myself, let's say like I didn't take any alone time for months and months and months, and I'm irritable, and I'm resentful and I'm, I am angry, I'm tired.

I would just be like, okay, I'm just gonna. I'm gonna make it happen on Monday, on February 17th. I'm going to go watch a movie at the movie theater alone, and then let's say something comes up at my husband's work, he has to work late, and then I just throw in the towel because life happens and I have to now stay home and do the parenting and the nighttime routine and the bedtime routine, right?

I would just be like, okay, well, I guess I'll just try again later. there are some layers in there internally that, impact why I was so quick to throw in the towel. Not just on alone time, but in every aspect of my self-care, from exercise to sleep, to, um, doing things that gave me [00:09:00] joy to not doing all the housework myself to, you know, so many things.

So if you want to break out of whatever burnout cycle you're in. Treat yourself better, live a more healthy, happy, and whole life. It starts within you, and when you work within, then it goes out from there and it starts to affect your behaviors and your decisions and ultimately how you treat yourself. So let's dive in.

I have my stuff written here in my cute little notebook.

Marker

So the first belief that you need to practice is I don't wait. Until there's time for me, I make time for me. I don't wait until there's time for me. I make time for me. This is something that you can repeat yourself. When you feel the pressures of life pushing down on you.

There's so much to do. The to-do list is never ending. Caregiving never ends, [00:10:00] right? You might have fed your kid breakfast, but in a few hours they're gonna wanna snack. Heck, in 30 minutes, they're gonna want a snack. In a few hours, they're gonna want lunch, et cetera, et cetera. Caregiving never ends. So if we wait until the to-do list is done and the caregiving is finished to make time for ourselves, it's never gonna come.

So it's really important that you have the belief of I don't wait until there's time for me. I make time for me. And even though I've been a mom for almost 10 years, this is still something that's really challenging. And in order to make sure that months don't pass where I wake up and realize I'm irritable, burned out, what happened?

Oh, I haven't done anything for myself, just for me in six months. The way that I have broken out of that automatic, unconscious behavior and pattern is by sitting down for five to 15 minutes. On Sundays when I'm preparing for the week ahead. I don't love to sit down and do that, but it really helps make sure [00:11:00] that I make time for me.

Because our days are moving so fast and if we're not careful, our days can become a really long to-do list that we are always chasing down and never on top of. And by making sure that you check in on what you need once a week and make that time for you, what does that look like for me? I might schedule a walk with a friend, a walk and talk and get it in the calendar.

I might set up an appointment to go to acupuncture to take care of the many chronic aches and pains that I'm dealing with. , I might make sure that I have a therapy appointment scheduled. I might make sure I can give you an example. From this week, I was feeling really exhausted and could tell, and it was early in the week.

It was like Tuesday, and I could tell I needed a moment. And so after I drop off the kids instead of rushing into work. I dropped my kids off at school. I went to a cafe. I had a cinnamon roll. I had a flat white coffee. I didn't scroll social [00:12:00] media, I didn't check my emails. I just enjoyed my coffee and my cinnamon roll, and it was amazing.

And. It is like the ability to like breathe and check in and take a pause and make time for me, and knowing that all the caregiving responsibilities, the laundry, the dishes, the doctor's appointments that need to be made, the chauffeuring, the kids around the play dates that need to be set up, all of that will be there when you get back and when you make time for you, you're gonna be able to show up for those things with way more capacity and bandwidth and patience.

Then if you just kept grinding and pushing and pushing and pushing to try to check off as many things as possible, when you treat your day like a race, you end up grinding through life instead of living your life. And it's really important. I mean, I literally hear from moms who are like, my kids are grow, my kids are gonna leave the house soon.

And [00:13:00] I, I don't even know where the time went. I don't want that to happen to me. I don't want that to happen to you. I want to treat every day as a gift and live every day with patience and presence, and not every day I succeed. But by having these pauses and by making time for me, sitting at a cafe for half an hour between school drop off and work, or going to therapy on Wednesday or setting up a walk and talk with a friend or.

Last night I watched two episodes of my favorite TV show after my kids went to bed. These are the things that just make me feel so cared for, and they replenish me and they enable me to show up for life's problems from a place of strength instead of depletion and irritability and resentment.

So when you feel like there's no time for you when you feel like you can't possibly deserve or fine or feel worth the time. To take a break from your to-do list, to tend to you. I want you to repeat yourself. [00:14:00] I don't wait until there's time for me. I make time for me.

Affirmation, belief number two is feeling guilty is how I participate in my own oppression.

I choose to release the guilt and take care of myself anyway. Feeling guilty is how I participate in my own oppression. I choose to release that guilt and take care of myself anyway. Mom, guilt is something that can completely destroy your self-worth and self-care. It can completely burn you out. And the saddest part about it is that it's so normalized.

It's almost expected as a mom to feel bad if you do something for yourself and it takes away. The joy and replenishment and the healing that comes from self-care because you feel so guilty about it while you're doing it. And I'm not gonna pretend that releasing mom guilt is a one and [00:15:00] done. I said it. I release it.

It's done releasing mom guilt. It's probably gonna be a forever practice because we live in a world that is constantly planting seeds of, you're not enough, you're not doing enough. Try harder. You need to be doing this thing. You need to be trending, doing this trendy parenting hack. You need to be, you should never yell or lose your temper or lose your patience.

It's never gonna be gone. I'm not gonna sit here and act like I'm gonna cure your mom guilt. However, I am gonna tell you that working through it and learning how to release it. One scenario and situation at a time is critical to making your self care actually feel good because some people I work with their, their mom guilt was so bad that doing anything for themselves felt so uncomfortable and stress inducing and guilt inducing that they were like, I would just rather stay home and take care of everyone even though I'm burned out because the guilt almost feels worse than the [00:16:00] burnout.

There are so many different strategies that we can use to help you release mom guilt. It's very case by case, but I think one of the things that helps me and some of my clients a lot was reminding them that they can actually choose to feel gratitude over guilt. So like I'm thankful that I have the money and the time to sit at the cafe for half an hour instead of having to drive straight into work.

I'm thankful that I have the time to watch my favorite show before I go to bed. I'm thankful that I have the opportunity to go to therapy or acupuncture to get a massage. I'm thankful that I'm taking this dance class and filling my cup. I'm so grateful that I, my body can still move like this or that I have the time or the money to do this, or when you shift into gratitude for what it is you're trying to do for yourself, it makes the guilt smaller.

It gives it less attention. It has less fuel to grow, and that is one strategy of many that I can give you [00:17:00] to tackle mom guilt. Another one that I love is reminding myself that a lot of the guilt things I've been made to feel bad about, like taking time for myself are constructs created by the patriarchy to keep moms at home.

Doing the unpaid labor of life, admin, cooking, cleaning, and raising our kids on our own by making us feel like this is our job and we should never have a break from it. It keeps us doing the work that keeps the economy and society and countries moving forward without having to pay us because we just feel so guilty if we do anything other than that, that we are gonna do it no matter what it costs us.

I know this. I have felt it. I have lived it. I have gone through the burnout. I have almost passed out in a grocery store from severe burnout guys. I have had migraines so debilitating that I've been hospitalized. I've had to have MRIs. They thought I was having a brain aneurysm. The migraines were so painful.

It turns out [00:18:00] I was just so overextended. I was only three years into motherhood. No two years, and I was falling apart. So. All this is to say that when I realized that mom guilt is a construct created by the patriarchy to exploit our unpaid labor, because, yeah, my husband was able to work 16 hour days because why?

Because his wife was home doing the cooking, doing the cleaning, making sure the kids were taken care of, putting them to bed on time. I was holding the rest of this person's life down wasn't his fault. They made him work 16 hours a day. That props up these companies, their bottom line, their profit margins, their shareholders love it.

There doesn't have to be any limits or caps on how much the workers are exploited because they're not like, I need to get home to my kids. I need to get home because someone's already doing it and it's you and me. Even when [00:19:00] we have careers. And this is something that I've been unpacking and working through with my husband on like, no, this is what capitalists, corporate exploitative companies want.

They want us to serve them in this way at my expense, at the expense of mothers, and I won't do it. And so it really starts to feel like when, if I. Indulge in that guilt. If I sit and I, I decide to cancel my lunch with a friend, cancel the yoga class, I was gonna go to cancel the therapy to be there and care taken and, and be there for everyone.

I am participating in my own oppression. I am participating in the oppression design to keep me down, and I will not do it. So at the very least, sometimes what can help you get through the mom guilt and do the self-care anyway, is by realizing that by staying home and doing the 10th load of laundry, instead of taking a break that you deserve [00:20:00] is doing exactly what the patriarchy wants.

And we're not gonna do that anymore. We are gonna fight back, and we're gonna resist as much as we possibly can. Okay? The third belief you're gonna practice is

being useful to everyone else all the time. Is not what I aspire to be. I am here to live a full and beautiful life where my needs matter to.

Being useful to everyone else all the time is not what I aspire to be. I am here to live a full and beautiful life where my needs matter to. This is really important because good girls are raised and programmed and conditioned to be useful. We find our value in being useful. We find our self worth in being useful.

Our self-esteem is tied to being useful. So if we step away from being useful to just experience pleasure and joy, enjoyment, fun. It's like we feel bad, [00:21:00] we feel useless, we, our self-worth self-esteem goes down because we have tied all of our self-worth to usefulness. And I'm not very useful when I am walking with a friend.

I'm not useful when I'm eating a cinnamon roll and drinking a coffee at a cafe, doing nothing for anyone. I'm not useful when I leave the pile of laundry on the couch so that I can lay down and watch my show with full attention. 'cause I don't wanna fold laundry while watching the show. I just don't, I'm not useful when I take a solo trip to London and see Beyonce and fulfill a dream I've had for.

Decades, I'm not useful, and if I didn't do the work and continue to do the work to remember that my usefulness is not an indicator of my worth. I would feel very bad and down on myself when I did any of these self-care things, but because I know that my worth is inherent, it is [00:22:00] unchanging, it is part of who I am, and there's nothing anybody can do about it.

It doesn't matter if I'm folding laundry or if I am on a beach having a vacation in the Caribbean, my worth remains intact and I remain a good mother. And it's really important that we practice the belief that being useful all the time is not the goal, and that the goal is actually to live a full and beautiful life where your needs matter to.

You're not just a caregiver. All the time. A home manager all the time. A worker all the time. You're a person. You deserve to live a full and beautiful life where your needs matter too. And this long belief affirmation can really be shortened down too. Like when you feel that pang of guilt, we are trying to do something nice for yourself.

You just say, my needs matter too. My needs matter too. And you breathe. You're able to just go and do the thing anyway, and I [00:23:00] promise you over time and with repetition and practice, the guilt and the resistance to self-care quiets down and it becomes so much easier to take care of yourself without this guilt.

Okay. Belief number four is

disappointing people does not make me a bad person. People can think whatever they want about me. I can still choose to take care of myself anyway. This is huge for all the people pleasers out there. It's something that I am currently working through because the moment my self-care inconveniences or disappoints someone, it can feel more difficult.

It feels easier when. My self-care isn't inconveniencing anyone, but sometimes it does. It feels easier when, when I ask for what I need. It doesn't disappoint anyone, but sometimes it does, and it's really important to remember that you're allowed to disappoint people, that you're allowed to not meet [00:24:00] everyone's expectation, and that by meeting and striving to meet everyone's expectation, you're actually hurting yourself.

You're trying to do the impossible, and you're contorting yourself. Suppressing your needs. You're turning into all these different versions of you, which is sacrificing your authenticity and who you really are and what you really need in order to please everybody, but you need to know that it's okay to disappoint people.

It does not make you a bad person and. Even while people feel disappointed and inconvenience, you can take care of yourself anyway. I gave this example before, but I'm gonna quickly give it again. When I had to travel to the UK last year to see a hormone specialist for my premenstrual dysphoric disorder, a debilitating condition that I now have managed, I had to really tighten up the budget and my kids were not, I wasn't able to pay for my kids to do extracurriculars.

My daughter loves to paint. She loves it. But I needed [00:25:00] every diamond dollar to get on that plane and to pay for the food and the transportation and the clinic costs, and the lab blood lab results and all this stuff, all the testing I had to do, and I had to tell my daughter, Ugh, I just still feel sad.

Like I remember her face. She was like, mom, I went to go do painting today. She was crying when she said this, and they told me that I wasn't signed up. Why did you take me out of painting? And I explained it to her. I said, the budget's really tight right now, and Mommy's has some health problems and I need to, I need as much money as I can to go figure out my health so that I can feel better, and instead of feeling ashamed and upset in that moment, I was able to hold her disappointment and hug her while she cried, while also feeling sad and frustrated that I had to make this hard decision.

Remembering that it's okay to disappoint people and to meet my own needs. I'm not a bad mother for doing that, and neither are you. And after she [00:26:00] felt that wave of sadness, she eventually understood. And ultimately, my kids want me to be healthy and happy and well, and then she was signed up to painting the next trimester.

So it's okay to disappoint people. It really is.

The last belief that I love to remind myself and my clients of is I am a member of my family, not just the manager of it. I deserve to take up space and to have my needs met too. You are a member of your family. Not just the manager of it. So many moms I know are the managers of our families.

We hold the emotional labor, the mental labor, the life admin, the planning. We're earning money, we're paying bills, we're carrying a lot, and it's time that we treat ourselves better, you know? We are not just here to facilitate this family getting from point A to point B, to point C to point D. We don't just [00:27:00] exist to solve one problem after the other, after the other, after the other.

We are also here to have beautiful experiences, to have connection and love and relationships and joy and peace and rest, and we should feel empowered and allowed. To make choices with our money and our time and the decisions around our family so that we are also included in the list of people who get love and care and resources and support.

Instead, I see a lot of moms being excellent managers of their family and forgetting that they are part of their family. So whenever you see yourself being too much in like the managerial mindset, I want you to remind yourself that you are a member of your family and not just the manager of it. You deserve to take up space and have your needs met too, even if that means that in a season.

Your husband or [00:28:00] your kids might get less of you or might get less of something they might be inconvenienced so that you can have what you need. Everyone gets to have a turn, including you. So those are the five beliefs, affirmations that you can practice. If you want to stop being a martyr mom and start living a no longer last life.

Where your health, happiness, and wellbeing are prioritized in the day to day. , I wanna remind you that, , if you want to do this inner work on a regular basis, my coaching program, the no longer Last Journey is reopening on March 1st. It's springtime. It's actually when it feels like a new year, and if you would like some support.

Because you're managing everyone and everything else, and you need some help with doing this inner work and also doing the practical work of working through obstacles, setting time for yourself, moving through guilt, and making it happen. Anyway, that's what I'm here for. I have been coaching moms for five years.

I have [00:29:00] some beautiful testimonials on my coaching program page if you wanna see. The impact my work has had in the lives of other mothers. Um, , And I've worked with stay at home moms all the way up to lawyers and doctors and a full range of women who have varying responsibilities and careers and varying challenges based on how they show up in the world.

So I have a lot of experience with that and I would love to coach you if that feels like something you are. Interested in and something that you feel could help you stop being a martyr mom. Start feeling and being no longer lasting your life because it truly does have an impact on your relationships, your income, your motherhood, the way you treat yourself, the way you see yourself, your confidence, your self-esteem when you learn.

To move through and release the many obstacles that are keeping moms from [00:30:00] taking care of ourselves. You will see a ripple effect in your life that is so powerful and so beautiful. It's one of those things where, I don't even know how I love to say it, but it's kind of like the rising tide that lifts all boats analogy.

It's like if you don't know where to focus on. There's so many things in your life that need tending to always, always, always bring it back to yourself. 'cause when you take care of yourself, you are better able to handle all the other things. So if you feel overwhelmed and flustered and you don't know where to invest time, money, and energy, this year when it comes to achieving goals or making changes, always, always, always find a way to come back to yourself.

Because even though, yes, there's a lot of things externally that are competing priorities and obstacles and making it difficult. when you really believe at your core that you deserve to take up space and be happy, and be healthy, and have your needs met. When you really do the work to believe that and to [00:31:00] process through all the beliefs and experiences that made you feel small and that keep you small, you become unstoppable and you, you end up having this internal resolve that no matter what happens on the outside, 'cause it's still gonna happen, life's still gonna life.

You are so much stronger and able to notice when something's trying to keep you small and find the way forward. Um, , So if you're interested in that, there's a link in the description for a wait list. , There are limited spots. I only run this program like in a small group, so yeah. Starting March 1st, the door enrollment opens and during that week there are discounts and bonuses and it's only for that week. So if you want to save money, get access to the program and also grab the bonuses. You wanna make sure you're on that wait list 'cause I'm only gonna be, that's the best way to make sure that you get the information.

So, yeah. Anyway, my brain's starting to slow down. I think it's time for my second cup of coffee. Thank you for [00:32:00] listening, watching. I would love to hear if this was helpful for you, more of a introspective episode, I think talking about how you need to practice believing and seeing yourself. , And yeah, I would love your feedback.

I hope you enjoyed this podcast episode. I enjoyed sharing my affirmations with you, and I will see you in the next one. Thank you so much. Bye.
