From Funk to Fresh Start: Support Before the Crisis

MP3•Episode home

Ever snap at your kids because they asked what’s for dinner… while you were literally cooking dinner? You’re not alone — and it doesn’t mean you’re falling apart. It means you’re human.

In this episode of the Free to Be Mindful Podcast, Licensed Therapist and Latina Mom Coach Vanessa De Jesus Guzman reminds us that you don’t need to be in crisis to deserve support. Mental health isn’t only about anxiety or depression — sometimes it looks like irritability, exhaustion, guilt, or feeling disconnected.

Vanessa shares practical ways to recognize when you’re “in a funk” and how to shift before burnout sets in. She also explains the difference between therapy, mom coaching, and community support — and how each can help you reset, reconnect, and feel more like yourself again.

EPISODE DESCRIPTION

What happens when we keep pushing through without support
5 simple, research-backed tips to reset before burnout
The cultural lens of mental health and why unlearning “just push through” matters

Why support isn’t just for crisis moments
Real, doable strategies to manage stress and overwhelm
The benefits of therapy, mom coaching, and community support
Why early support builds resilience for you and your family
