You finally get a break—some rare, uninterrupted time to yourself. But instead of feeling free to relax, you feel pressure to use it wisely. Should you tackle your to-do list? Catch up on work? Get ahead on errands? Before you know it, your “me-time” turns into just another thing to optimize—and instead of feeling refreshed, you end up exhausted.

In this episode, we dive into the paradox of me-time and why so many moms struggle to truly rest when they get time alone.
