Happy Mothering Day! Blondie reminds you to call someone today!
#motherday #80s

Mother’s Day isn’t perfect for everyone.
For some, it feels messy, complicated, and exhausting.
At Austin Therapy for Girls, we see the real work behind the smiles:
the late-night worries, the emotional load, the guilt, the love.
Behind every strong daughter is a mom who showed up—even when she didn’t feel strong.
Our book Pink Chaos is our love letter to all moms looking for connection. #mother #motherhood #tweendaughter #teendaughter #motherdaughterbond #connection

💐 Not every Mother’s Day feels like brunch and flowers.
For some, it brings up grief, guilt, anger—or all three.
Whether you’re a mom trying to hold it all together,
a daughter feeling disconnected,
or someone stuck in the in-between…
This message is for you.
You’re not alone in the chaos.
You’re not broken if today feels hard.
🌸 Sending love to anyone navigating complicated mother-daughter stuff.
We see you. We get it. And we’re here to help.

Mother's Day can be tough in so many ways. Head over to my blog for more and don't forget to grab Pink Chaos today. #mothersday #motherdaughter #pinkchaosbook

Welcome to the tween years. 🎢

Population: You, your daughter, and a rapidly shrinking stash of patience.

You ask, “How was your day?”

She responds with: 😑 “Ugh. Fine.”

Take a deep breath, pour the coffee, and remember:

This isn’t attitude—it’s growing pains with lip gloss and wi-fi.

Need help surviving the chaos (and maybe laughing through it)

Pink Chaos was written for this exact moment.
💗 #tweenyearsbegin #motherdaughterlove #austintherapyforgirls #eyerolling #pinkchaosbook

Don’t buy your mom flowers this Mother’s Day.

Buy her 10 minutes of silence, a nap, and someone ELSE asking “what’s for dinner.”

Because let’s be real—flowers wilt. But a moment of peace? That’s priceless.

And hey… if Mother’s Day feels complicated this year, that’s okay too.

Not every mom-daughter relationship is tied up with a satin bow (more like duct tape and glitter).

Read more about the real side of Mother’s Day over on the blog.
