78. Feeling Overwhelmed, Mama? Why This Season Is So Heavy + How to Lighten the Load


Listen Later

In this episode, I’m speaking straight to the mom who’s doing all the things—spring sports, end-of-year school chaos, family schedules, emotional labor—and silently wondering how she’s supposed to keep it up. If you’ve been feeling overstretched, anxious, and like no one really sees everything you’re carrying, this is for you.

We’ll unpack why this season feels especially heavy, offer simple mental health tools to help you reset, and remind you of this truth: you don’t have to do it all to be a good mom.

Plus, I’ll share how faith, breath, and small pauses can ground you—even when your world feels like it’s spinning. 💛


What You’ll Hear in This Episode:

✔️ Why the end of the school year hits moms so hard
 ✔️ How mental load shows up (even when no one else sees it)
 ✔️ A quick self-check-in to help you reconnect with yourself
✔️ 5 practical mental health tools for busy moms
✔️ Encouragement for moms who are burnt out and exhausted
