(Episode 3 in the Burnout Recovery Series)

• Have you ever started feeling a little better — only to worry you’re heading right back toward burnout again? • Do you notice that even when nothing is technically wrong, your body still feels tense, on edge, or exhausted? • Have you wondered how you’re supposed to stay out of burnout when work, kids, and responsibility aren’t actually slowing down?

This episode is Part 3 in my Burnout Recovery series for working moms.

In this conversation, we’re talking about why burnout comes back — even when you rest, take time off, or try to slow down — and what actually helps your body stay out of survival mode when life doesn’t pause.

I walk you through why standard burnout advice doesn’t work for working moms, how stress gets stuck in your nervous system when it never fully resolves, and what it really looks like to close stress loops throughout the day instead of carrying everything until bedtime. We talk about small, doable shifts that help your body feel safe enough to stand down — without changing your entire life or adding more to your plate.

This episode is for the working mom who knows life isn’t slowing down — but doesn’t want to live in burnout anymore.

(Episode 2 in the Burnout Recovery Series)

• Have you ever realized that nothing is technically wrong — but your body still feels tight, buzzy, or on edge? • Do you feel stuck between knowing you’re burned out and not knowing what you’re supposed to do with the stress you’re holding? • Have you tried resting, slowing down, or “taking breaks,” only to feel like it didn’t actually help?

This episode is Part 2 in my Burnout Recovery series for working moms.

In Episode 71, we talked about the first step out of burnout — learning how to separate what’s happening right now from how your body feels, so you can stop turning exhaustion into self-blame.

In this episode, we talk about what comes next.

I’m walking you through why burnout recovery often goes sideways at this stage, why trying to “get rid of” stress actually keeps it stuck, and how to let stress move through your body in simple, realistic ways that don’t turn into another thing you have to manage.

We talk about what stress actually is in your body, why working moms tend to carry it forward from one role to the next, and how small moments of movement, breath, and release help your nervous system finally stand down — without changing your life or adding more to your plate.

This conversation is for the working mom who feels tense even when the day is calm, who’s tired of pushing through, and who wants burnout recovery to feel doable instead of overwhelming.

Burnout Recovery for Working Moms: Why Pushing Through Isn’t Working Anymore

Do you ever sit down to work and feel your whole body tense before you even start?

Do small questions or tiny interruptions suddenly feel way bigger than they should?

Have you caught yourself thinking, “Nothing is actually wrong… so why do I feel like this?”

In this episode, we’re talking about why burnout doesn’t look like falling apart — it looks like functioning while your nervous system stays on high alert. I walk you through how burnout actually shows up in everyday working mom life, why pushing through stops working, and how self-blame quietly keeps you stuck. You’ll learn the difference between overwhelm and burnout, what’s really happening in your brain when motivation disappears, and the one subtle shift that helps your body stop escalating without forcing rest or adding another thing to your plate. If you’re tired but wired, capable but depleted, and starting to feel like you are the problem, this episode will help you finally make sense of what your body’s been holding. And if you’re listening thinking, “Okay… this is me, but I don’t know what my next step is,” come join us inside the Facebook group where we talk through this in real life, real-mom language — and you don’t have to figure it out alone. 💛
