For moms, you’re Instagram algorithm might show you accounts that fit a few specific categories, like wholesome family humor, craft ideas, parenting tips, news related to childcare and education, etc. Many of these are relatable and even helpful, informing us about important issues and giving us mamas ideas for meals, activities, and gifts.

But what about accounts that are a little deeper, ones that remind us to do better and be better? Are there accounts that show us how to set high expectations for ourselves and others.

Yes, yes there are.

Let’s look at a few Instagram accounts that will encourage you to remember your worth while respecting others’ value, too.

He’s not a counselor or mental health professional; instead, his openness about his role as a husband and father make him relatable and down-to-earth. His account offers real-world applications and actionable tasks to improve relationships. Annother creator, @matthiasjbarker, has a similar account; both of these men are great examples for dads and husbands who want to be more intentional, gentle, and kind with their loved ones.
3. @diaryofanhonestmom: Libby is a content creator who covers all things motherhood-related. She often does silly dances and brings some humor to chaotic situations. But, she’s very open about mental and physical health, division of labor and invisible labor, grief, education and work, rest, gender roles, mental loads, and the realistic ups and downs on parenting. She talks about the way she and her husband work together to raises kids and how their family strives to function as a unit. She’s inspired thousands of moms over the past few years to persevere in hard times and find more balance in their home lives, work lives, and family dynamics.
4. @shawnathemom: Shawna’s bio sums up her account well: “conversations disguised as skits.” Shawna is a mother, wife, and cancer survivor. She brings humor and reliability to hard topics through skits. She plays a variety of characters and showcases how different behaviors can be helpful or harmful. She tackles in-law relationships, spousal support, marriage, intimacy, motherhood, friendships, and personal growth and change. Her characters are all interrelated, and their story arcs take place over several skits, so each episode tackles a new conversations situation in a captivating and thought-provoking way.
   

We All Deserve Better

It’s important to have high standards for ourselves and others. We should never put up with abuse or disrespect from parents, spouses, doctors, or anyone! When we internalize the belief that we are special beings, we can extend that belief to others. The end result is a more harmonious society for all.

We hope that all media you consume, whether it’s on social media or elsewhere, reminds you to set your standards high. You – and those around you – deserve it!
