111. The Real Reason Moms Feel Burnt Out (It’s Not What You Think)
Manage episode 494819399 series 3475251
You ever have one of those days where you think,
“Why am I this tired when I haven’t even done that much?”
Like... you didn’t run a marathon or solve world peace—and yet your body, your brain, your soul just feels done.
Today, we’re pulling back the curtain on the real reason moms feel so burnt out. I’m talking about:
- The emotional overload of motherhood
- What it means to be the default parent (and why that role is so draining)
- Why even a “good day” can still feel heavy
- And four small shifts that helped me start healing—without needing to change my whole life
If you’ve been feeling invisible, stretched thin, or just straight-up done lately… this episode is for you.
You’re not weak. You’re not failing. You’re carrying more than anyone knows.
P.S. Struggling with sleep like I was?
If you’re tired of waking up sweaty or tossing off the blankets at 3 a.m., you’ve gotta try Cozy Earth sheets. They breathe, they cool, and honestly—they changed our nights.
