It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Until it isn’t. Throw in some impossibly high expectations, plus a hefty dash of comparison, and we’ve got ourselves a bunch of stressed-out women who never feel like enough.

Today at The Messy Table, Amy Groeschel is shedding light on the ridiculous (but real) pressure we face to GET IT ALL RIGHT, especially when it comes to motherhood. It’s a weight that sits so comfortable on our shoulders, we don’t always realize its brutal impact.

“I decided that day, relationships were what mattered—not tidy houses and not perfect children.”  Amy Groeschel

Whether you have kiddos or not, Amy’s perspective on surviving the unrealistic expectations of motherhood (and Christmas!) might just give you the courage to toss the measuring stick and walk confidently in freedom.
