This episode is a soft landing for every midlife woman who is tired of carrying the emotional, mental, and hormonal weight of everyone around her while pretending she’s fine. Poppy shares why this space exists, her mission to help women find ease again, and why it’s time to lay down the impossible “Superwoman” job description and choose a lighter way of living.​

The Superwoman pressure

Poppy unpacks how women are pushed into Superwoman mode—expected to hold everything together, remember everything, fix everything, and never slow down or fall apart. She reminds listeners that they were never meant to be everything for everyone, just the best version of themselves, and that strength should not mean doing everything alone.​

The breaking point story

Through a funny but vulnerable story about a day filled with errands, noise, and nonstop demands, Poppy describes the hallway moment where she wanted to cry, yell, laugh, and disappear at the same time—her “I’m done with the cape” breaking point. She explains how that moment became a turning point, showing her that trying to be Superwoman was costing her peace, joy, and health.​

Real reasons you’re exhausted

The episode explores three core reasons women are tired of being Superwoman: emotional overload from holding everyone’s feelings, a changing body and hormones that affect sleep, mood, and energy, and the reality of never mentally clocking out. Poppy normalizes crying over “small things” and feeling tapped out as natural outcomes of chronic stress, invisible labor, and midlife transitions—not personal failure.​

Breaking the Superwoman cycle

Poppy explains that breaking the cycle doesn’t mean caring less—it means refusing to carry everything alone, releasing guilt around rest, letting others help, and valuing peace over unrealistic expectations. She shares how she even asked ChatGPT for help releasing rest-guilt and how tools like her Easy Peasy prompts can support women in simplifying, organizing, and resetting their days.​

Easy Peasy tip and next steps

Listeners are challenged to choose just one thing this week to hand off—dinner, laundry, a call, or a task—so they can start practicing shared responsibility instead of solo survival. Poppy closes with a reminder that women don’t have to prove anything to deserve rest and support, and invites them to grab her free ChatGPT guide at EasyPeasyPrompts.com and to join live every Tuesday and Thursday at 9AM CST.​
