Daily Women’s Wellness: Calm Your Sass & Grow My Best

When “Doing It All” Became Doing Too Much

When life feels like a nonstop collision of deadlines, dinner prep, and diapers, there’s something a little sacred about carving a few moments for yourself. When I stumbled upon Fussy Mom, I was sitting on the couch past bedtime, too exhausted to get into bed, scrolling through my phone, searching for inspiration, relief, something to remind me who I was before mom became my identity. It was a line of supplements created by a mom of two and industry veteran, Cassy Velazquez. Two bottles, Calm Your Sass and Growing My Best, that I felt I had finally found a small, precious piece of myself, reclaiming some part of me.

I’m sharing my journey from bleary-eyed couch moment to feeling balanced, energized, and a little sassy in the best ways. Over the next few months, Calm Your Sass and Growing My Best became secret weapons in my daily struggles, helping me with a steadier heart, tackling daily tasks without energy crashes, and even rediscovering the joy of solo coffee dates. I’ve created an ingredient highlight so you know why it works, no heavy science, just an honest takeaway from someone who’s experienced it.

If a sitcom starred a perpetually frazzled single mom, six months ago, I would have been the headliner. Juggling breakfast dramas with a toddler while trying to respond to client emails even before my first coffee. Midmorning, I was mentally preparing for the afterschool pickup meltdowns, knowing I was behind on work. Evenings blurred with cleaning, cooking, and collapsing in bed, playing catch-up with work. A cycle of wake and repeat.

Stress was affecting my mental clarity and physical health. Whilst yoga classes, meditation apps, and motivational podcasts helped in theory, I was still struggling with fumes. An exhausted body needed a solution to work from the inside out, supporting my body’s natural rhythms.

Calm Your Sass: My Mood-Support Sidekick

Why “Calm Your Sass”?

Yes, you’re allowed to have sass! Although I giggled the first time I saw the name, it resonated with me even more when I read the label, a thoughtfully created formula, designed to support emotional balance, ease tension, and keep you clear-headed for when life is everything but calm.

What’s Inside—and Why It Matters

• Ashwagandha – Regulates cortisol, a hormone that spikes when stress levels are high.
• Magnesium – Helps muscles and nerves – goodbye, jaw clenching.
• GABA (Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid) -The brain’s natural pedal helps to calm racing thoughts.
• 5-HTP – Lifts mood by boosting serotonin.
• Chamomile Extract – Botanical calm – think chamomile tea in a capsule.
• B-Vitamins (B6, B12, Folate) – Neurotransmitter balance for a clear head and energy production.

No mystery “proprietary blends”, no fillers, or artificial dye. A mini spa for your nervous system with purposeful ingredients working in harmony.

A Week with Calm Your Sass

• Monday Morning: A matcha latte and two capsules, by 8.30 AM, I noticed my shoulders felt less tense as if my nervous system was finally taking it easy and my usual “brain buzz” had subsided.
• Wednesday Afternoon: Normally, I would reach for a sugary snack instead I enjoyed my water and powered through a presentation without jitters or that infamous 2 PM afternoon slump.
• Friday Evening: Wanting to head into the weekend without the leftover stress, I take a second dose at 4 PM. Movie night is less frazzled and more playful.

Growing My Best: Beyond Prenatal, Into Every Chapter of Motherhood

Not Your Grandma’s Prenatal

Between mystery aftertastes and prenatal constipation, I couldn’t take any more giant pills. That’s when I first saw Growing My Best, not just another prenatal, but something different: Bioavailable nutrients and researched ingredients – going far beyond iron and folic acid.

Ingredient Highlights

• Choline – Sharpens your memory and supports the baby’s brain growth.
• Methylfolate (L-5-MTHF) – Boosting brain health, energy, and hormonal balance in an active form your body can use immediately.
• Methylcobalamin (B12) & Pyridoxal-5-Phosphate (B6) – Boosting brain health, energy, and hormonal balance in an active form your body can use immediately.
• Chelated Iron (Ferrochel®) – No digestive drama while fighting fatigue.
• Vitamin D3 + K2 – Sun exposure protectant works in tandem for immune support and bone strength.
• Ginger Root Extract – Gently offers natural nausea relief.
• Probiotics (Lactobacillus rhamnosus)- With close ties to mood and immunity, nurturing your gut health.
• Trace Minerals (Zinc, Selenium, Manganese, Copper, Chromium, Molybdenum)- For minimal upset and optimal absorption in chelated form.

With 25 ingredients chosen for their role in supporting immunity, mood, cognitive function, energy, and digestive comfort.

How It Played Out in Real Life

• First Trimester: That first wave of morning sickness hit hard and instead of resigning myself to grazing on crackers, I took two capsules with breakfast, the gentle ginger extract helped, allowing me to enjoy a daily nutritious breakfast.
• Postpartum: Provided a stable energy source, meaning no slumps or jittery highs.
• Beyond Baby: This became my go-to daily multivitamin. Even when life returned to normal months later, I still had strong nails and hair, a fresh, healthy glow to my skin, and my focus continued improving.

Building Tiny Rituals That Stick

My Favorite Pairings

• Morning Coffee + Calm Your Sass: Double-duty energy with caffeine in the morning while calming my nerves.
• Lunch Break + Growing My Best: A simple Sunday meal and pill prep leave my weeks more organized for those hectic days.
• Weekly Pillbox Prep: Paired with a green smoothie, it’s my midday reminder to fuel my body adequately.

Why Simplicity Wins

The simpler the ritual, the more likely it is to go to plan, although life with kids rarely goes accordingly! No special timing or complicated instructions, these capsules only need to be taken with food, so even on the busiest of days you can stay consistent.

Busting Common Myths

“Prenatals are only for pregnancy.”- Growing My Best is specifically formulated to support energy, hormone health, and cognitive function at all life stages.

“Natural ingredients aren’t as potent.” – Modern clinical trials back up centuries of knowledge in botanicals such as chamomile and ashwagandha.

Voices of the Fussy Mom Community

“I was skeptical,” admits Rachel, a marketing manager and mom of three. “But after two weeks of Calm Your Sass, my husband noticed I was ‘less snappy.’ I feel more like the version of myself I remember.”

“Iron has always been a struggle postpartum,” says Jasmine, a registered nurse and new mom. “Growing My Best stabilized my energy so I could return to my nursing shifts without calling in sick.”

“Perimenopause threw me for a loop—night sweats, mood swings, you name it,” shares Dana, a 48-year-old teacher. “Calm Your Sass gave me my evenings back. No grogginess, just genuine calm.”

“I love knowing what’s in my supplements,” says Anita, a health coach. “No weird dyes, no proprietary blends. I trust Fussy Mom because I can read every single ingredient.”

When women fuel themselves intentionally, their real stories underline one truth: caring for ourselves has a ripple effect on our families, work, communities, and spirit.

Moving from Surviving to Thriving

An Invitation to Your Best Self

When I look back at that exhausted version of myself from three months ago, I’d probably say, “They’re powered, energetic capsules, no magic, just well-deserved energy when you need it or a calming and clear mind.

And to you, I’d say when life is an endless stream of meetings, shopping and conferences, maybe try a Calm Your Sass, take a deep breath, and go be amazing. I’d also say keep Growing My Best on you for those moments when your to-do list feels endless, to help you power through your day.

Fussy doesn’t mean being picky in a negative connotation; it means caring enough to choose what you truly deserve. Fussy Mom is a community of women who prioritize themselves so they can give their best to their families and careers. When you fuel your body with intention, that energy radiates out into the world around you.

Here’s to reclaiming vitality and calm, and yes, your sass.
