You love your kids.
But some days, you just want to hide in the pantry with a bag of chocolate chips and not come out...
You’re not a bad mom. You’re just maxed out.
The mess. The noise. The whining. The constant interruptions when you’re just trying to make one freaking meal.
But the hardest part isn't even them.
It’s you.
It’s how you yell even though you swore you wouldn’t. How you snap, then feel sick about it. How you go to bed wishing you’d been more patient… and wake up already stretched too thin.
You love them so much it physically aches.
But you still find yourself counting down the minutes until bedtime just so you can breathe again.
You’re not broken.
And this isn’t just about “getting it together.”
This is about understanding what’s really going on — so you can show up the way you want to.
Because here’s the truth:
Sometimes you’re not melting down because your kid is melting down. You’re melting down because your nervous system is fried.
Because real talk? You were never meant to do all of this alone, with no rest, no village, and no room to breathe.
And the noise, the mess, the constant touch?
It’s just too much.
Or sometimes, it’s not even sensory overload.
It’s the voice in your head — shaped by generations of good girl messaging and modern motherhood myths — whispering that you’re not doing enough.
That you should enjoy every moment. That if you were a good mom, this wouldn’t be so hard.
That voice is lying.
And this guide is here to help you shut it up.
This isn’t about being calm all the time.
It’s about learning how to come back to center when everything feels like too much.
Inside When You're The One Melting Down, we’ll explore:
⭐ How to tell the difference between physical overstimulation and internal pressure
⭐ Quick ways to ground your nervous system in real-life chaos (like mid-tantrum or dinner meltdown)
⭐ How to stop holding yourself to expectations that don’t even matter to you
⭐ How to express big emotions in a healthier way — so your kids learn to do the same
⭐ Journal + AI prompts to help you explore what’s underneath it all, and what actually helps
Because the goal isn’t to never lose it. It’s to lose it less often — and recover faster.
With less guilt. More grace. And maybe even a little joy.
From me to you — because I’ve been there
Hey! I'm Bailee, creator of When You're The One Breaking Down.
And I wrote this because I’ve cried in the bathroom more times than I can count.
I’ve snapped at my kids for being kids.I’ve laid in bed feeling like I didn’t deserve them.
I’ve hated the sound of their voices and hated myself even more for feeling that way.
And what I’ve learned is this: I wasn’t failing. I was overstimulated, exhausted, and buried under expectations I didn’t agree with — in a world that still expects moms to carry it all and smile through it.
This guide is what I wish I had back then —
when I just wanted to enjoy a moment with my kids without bracing for the next explosion (theirs or mine).
It’s not about being the calm, gentle mom all the time. It’s about being the real, honest, emotionally grounded one — the one who feels it and models how to move through it.
You don’t have to do it perfectly.
You just need a way to feel better — one real moment at a time.
