Why Giving Everything to Your Kids Is Burning You Out

Описание: Somewhere along the way, a lot of moms were taught that being a “good mother” means disappearing. That exhaustion is noble. That rest has to be earned. That wanting more makes you selfish.

In this episode, we talk about the quiet martyrdom so many women are living inside of — the kind where you give everything to your kids, your family, your home… and slowly lose yourself in the process.

We get honest about the guilt that shows up the moment you try to choose yourself, why self-care feels rebellious instead of normal, and how modeling burnout isn’t actually the legacy most of us want to pass down. We talk about identity, nervous systems, the shrinking window of tolerance, and what it really looks like to build a life where motherhood is part of who you are — not all of who you are.

This isn’t about doing less for your kids. It’s about abandoning yourself less.
If you’ve ever thought, I love my kids, but I don’t recognize myself anymore, this conversation is for you.

And if this episode resonated, share it with a mom who might need to hear it too.
