Hey friends! Buckle up—this week’s episode is a big one. I’m diving into time, burnout, the myth of “having it all,” and why so many moms (especially in the 0-6 parenting years) are hanging on by a thread. I lay it all out—from the mental load and scheduling madness to the pressure we put on ourselves to do everything, perfectly, all the time. We’re talking about “shit sandwiches,” modern parenting expectations, the elusive village (or lack thereof), and what really matters when your time, energy, and sanity are on the line. If you’ve ever looked at your life and thought, I literally can’t do one more thing, this episode is your permission slip to slow down, scale back, and breathe. Let’s cut the noise, reclaim our time, and build a life that actually feels good.Timestamps:
