I see you, trying so hard
and Still Feeling Like It’s Not Enough
You’ve always been someone who holds yourself to high standards, you're a high-achieving woman.
And motherhood hasn’t changed that. In fact, it’s probably made you more intentional and thoughtful about the kind of mom you want to be. You’re doing your best to get everything right—managing the daily responsibilities, nurturing your family, and trying to live up to your own vision of motherhood.
you're in the right place
But no matter how much you do, the pressure feels relentless.
You’re constantly juggling, trying to stay ahead, and yet most days it feels like you’re falling behind. People tell you to “stop trying to be perfect” or “there’s no such thing as a perfect mom,” but it’s not that simple.
Deep down, it’s not really about perfection—it’s about your high standards, and the reality that you expect a lot from yourself. Still, that drive sometimes slips into perfectionism, and you can’t shake the feeling that you’re not doing enough.
And when your high standards—and yes, even perfectionism—meet the overwhelming demands of everyday life, it’s easy to feel burnt out, stressed, and anxious.
You’re thoughtful, you’re driven, and you care deeply about being the best mom you can be—but the constant pressure is leaving you exhausted.
You don’t need to lower your standards—you need a way to honor them without burning out.

Motherhood has a way of amplifying those expectations, both from the outside world and from within.
HERE'S WHAT I WANT YOU TO KNOW:
hello there.
I’m vanessa,
YOUR relatable mom-therapist
And not the fake relatable on social media, but a perfectionist mom too... the messy, procrastinating kind though
I know what it’s like to feel like you have to get everything right, especially as a woman of color.
The pressure to do more and do it better has been a constant in my life, and for years, my high expectations of myself drove my success.
But when I became a mom, I realized that the high standards that helped me thrive in my career didn’t always fit with the realities of motherhood. The expectations—both external and internal—felt overwhelming, especially during postpartum and the journey of Matrescence, the transition into motherhood.
But then I learned not to fight against my desire to do it all right, and that perfectionism wasn’t something I needed to learn how to work with it.
I came to see that perfectionism could be both a motivator and a source of stress. The key was recognizing when it was serving me and when it was creating unnecessary pressure leading me to burnout, anxiety, and stress.
Now, I help other high-achieving moms do the same.
HYPE GIRL, wellness enthusiast, boy mom, CREATIVE, intentional
I help moms manage the burnout that comes from high expectations and perfectionism, heal from the societal pressures that fuel it, and embrace self-compassion during Matrescence and postpartum so they can thrive in motherhood—on their own terms.

You Deserve More Than ‘Let Go’ Advice
Especially when the pressures of motherhood amplify the expectations you place on yourself, and intensify perfectionistic tendencies.
You may feel stuck—like no matter how hard you try, self-doubt and the weight of constant pressure are always there. You want to show up as your best self for your family and for yourself, but those expectations can feel overwhelming.
What if, instead of feeling weighed down by the pressure, and trying to "let go of perfection", you could work with your drive to get things right?
Together, we’ll explore how to approach motherhood with more clarity and ease, allowing your high standards to support you rather than stress you. Imagine feeling present, less overwhelmed, and more in tune with the mom you truly want to be.
It’s possible—and I’m here to help you make that a reality.
