Let's be honest: if motherhood came with a manual, it would be handwritten in crayon, have sticky jam pages, and end with "ask your mom." Whether you are a seasoned supermom or a new mama learning how to hold a baby and a cup of coffee in one hand, this Mother's Day, we are flipping the script.
This is not your average "soak in a bubble bath and call it self-care" list. No, this is the real deal – a wellness survival kit with love, laughter, and a little leafy green support. From cannabis to CBD to calming adaptogens, this guide is here to help you reclaim your peace, your health, and your favourite snack stash.
Because mom deserves more than a burnt piece of toast in bed.
Step 1: Wake, Bake (Optional) and Meditate-ish
The Ritual: Before the chaos kicks in, take 10 sacred minutes to yourself. Whether it is breathwork, stretching, or just sitting silently with a hot cup of tea and pretending no one else exists – take the moment. If you are cannabis-friendly, a microdose of THC or a few drops of CBD under the tongue can help ease morning anxiety and gently lift the fog.
Pro Tip: Look for full-spectrum CBD oil or a mellow 1:1 THC:CBD edible. You want calm, not couch-lock. You are a goddess, not a houseplant.
Step 2: Adaptogenic Armour for the Soul
The Ritual: Adaptogens are nature's way of saying "I got you, girl." Ashwagandha for anxiety, reishi for resilience, lion's mane for mental clarity – these powerful herbs help your body adapt to stress without growing another arm (though that would be useful).
How to Use: Add them to your morning smoothie, sprinkle in your coffee, or mix them into your mom-fuel of choice. Bonus points if your mug says "World's Okayest Mom."
Mom Hack: Elevate mushroom blends are easy to sneak into even the pickiest mom's daily routine and pair beautifully with CBD-based wellness plans.
Step 3: Snack Attack (With Benefits)
The Ritual: Moms have been secretly eating snacks in the pantry since time began. Why not make it functional? Infused treats – like CBD gummies, THC chocolates, or adaptogenic protein bars – turn snack time into soul time.
Sentimental Moment: That cookie you just ate while hiding from your kids? It was not selfish. It was sacred. Moms deserve joy in every bite, especially the last one.
Step 4: Bath Like You Mean It
Vibe It Up: Candlelight. 2000s R&B. No knocking on the door unless someone is bleeding or on fire. (Even then ... weigh your options.)
Note: Cannabis-infused bath soaks are a game-changer. THC won't get you high this way, but your muscles will feel like melted butter, and honestly, that is better.
Step 5: Mental Health Moments That Matter
The Ritual: A journal, a walk in nature, a FaceTime with your funniest friend – anything that gives your mind a break from logistics, guilt, and the 14 tabs open in your brain.
Natural Support:
- CBD oil: Calms racing thoughts.
- Cannabis microdoses: Enhance creativity and help process emotions (especially during "I'm fine" spirals).
- Adaptogens: Long-term mood and energy stabilisers that don't come with side effects like sarcasm and wine guilt.
Permission Slip: You are allowed to not be okay sometimes. You are allowed to ask for help. You are allowed to put on a face mask and ignore that laundry pile like it personally offended you.
Step 6: Laugh Loud, Love Deep, Nap Hard
The Ritual: Laughter heals. So do naps. (So does locking yourself in your car just to scream and then scroll memes for 7 minutes.) Humour is medicinal. Cannabis just happens to pair beautifully with it.
Silly Suggestion: Get a cannabis strain that makes you giggly and watch a ridiculous rom-com. Bonus points if you can convince your partner or kids to do all the chores while you "practice gratitude."
A Final Love Note to Moms:
You are doing so much. And you are doing it beautifully – even on the days it feels like you are just surviving on cereal dust and sheer willpower.
This Mother's Day, we hope you take your moment. Light the joint. Sip the tea. Take the mushroom tincture. Run the bath. Laugh. Cry. Nap. Heal.
And remember: the more grounded, nourished, and joyful you feel, the more magic you sprinkle into your family's life.
But also – you don't have to earn rest.
You deserve it simply because you exist.
Happy Mother's Day, Queens. May your tea be hot, your snacks untouched, and your CBD always within reach.
