PEP TALK: The Mom Brain Pep Talk You Didn't Know You Needed

Becca Ettari

In this Monday Mom Pep Talk, we’re diving into one of the most universal motherhood experiences: forgetfulness. From unanswered texts from eight days ago, to bills you swore you already paid, to suddenly remembering your aunt’s birthday at the most random moment — mom brain is real, and you are far from alone.


Inspired by that hilarious reel of the gorilla finally sitting down for a snack and suddenly remembering everything she forgot, this episode is your reminder that being forgetful in motherhood is normal, human, and nothing to feel guilty about.


We’ll talk about why this season of life makes your brain feel overloaded, how to release the guilt around not remembering everything, and how to give yourself grace when the mental load is just… a lot. You’ll walk away feeling lighter, seen, and encouraged, with simple mindset shifts to help you breathe again.


If you’ve been hard on yourself lately for dropping a few balls, this pep talk is here to remind you:

You’re not failing. You’re just doing the work of ten people. And you are doing it beautifully.
