Why Moms Can’t Focus: The Truth About Multitasking and Mental Overload (Ep 46)

Title: Feel Like You Can’t Focus on Anything? The Mom Truth About Multitasking

Struggling to keep up with all the things? Discover why multitasking doesn’t actually save time—and how it secretly erodes your confidence. Real-mom stories + simple shifts to help you trust yourself again.

Hey mama, ever feel like you’re nodding along while your kid tells you a story… but your brain is off building a grocery list and planning tomorrow’s carpool? And then the guilt hits: “Why can’t I just be present? Am I failing at this whole mom thing?”

Here’s the truth: multitasking isn’t killing your schedule, it’s killing your confidence.

In this episode of The Overloaded Mom Podcast, we dig into the mom-truth about multitasking: why your brain literally can’t shine its “spotlight” in two places at once, how that erodes your self-trust, and one simple shift you can use today to start feeling calm, capable, and in control again.

You’ll laugh at my latest multitasking fail (yes, cereal ended up in the dog’s bowl ), but more importantly, you’ll walk away with practical encouragement and a doable tool you can use right away.

What you’ll learn in this episode:

• Why multitasking makes you feel behind (even when the chores get done).
• The difference between autopilot tasks and spotlight tasks—and why that matters.
• How multitasking drains your confidence and self-trust (not just your energy).
• One simple shift that helps you focus, follow through, and feel in control again.

• The Confident Mom Bootcamp (Oct 6–9). We’ll take these shifts even deeper and practice them together in real mom-life.
