91 - breaking the overwhelm cycle: growth in the chaos, part 2


Listen Later

Motherhood is chaotic—but that doesn’t mean you can’t grow in the middle of it. In the Growth in the Chaos series, we’re breaking down how to navigate the unpredictable, exhausting seasons of motherhood while still making progress toward the life you want.

In Part 2, we’re tackling the mental load of motherhood and why it often feels like no matter how much you do, there’s always more waiting for you. The truth is, your brain is wired to focus on what’s left undone, making it feel impossible to keep up.

But here’s the good news: you don’t have to fight against your brain—you can work with it.

🎧 In this episode, we’re covering:

✔️ Why your brain naturally fixates on unfinished tasks
✔️ How decision fatigue is draining your energy (and what to do about it)
✔️ Simple mindset shifts to stop feeling like you’re always behind

This episode is packed with practical strategies to help you shift your perspective, lighten your mental load, and stop feeling like you’re stuck in survival mode.
