Jennifer didn't hold back as she implored her followers to relate to her feelings of anxiety. She described how she sometimes wishes she could stay in bed and not face her overwhelming daily to-do lists.

In her lengthy write-up, the California Lutheran University alum also admitted her frustrations from selflessly giving her time and energy to the children and not feeling appreciated for her efforts.

Jennifer also expressed her fears of not pursuing and achieving her dreams as she gives up her life for the kids. Despite feeling stretched with no time to herself, the mother-of-two revealed what she does to conquer the hard days. She wrote:

"Gratefulness interrupts anxiety every single time so that you can move past “those days” and grow on."

She also talked about the importance of self-reflection in dealing with the guilt and accepting that these feelings are normal and only allow for growth.
