Burnt Out Mummas

Summary

In this episode we unpack high-functioning burnout - the silent strain that modern mothers carry.

This is the burnout no one sees.
The kind where you’re still functioning.
Still showing up.
Still holding everything together.
But internally?
You’re exhausted.

We talk about:
• The mental load no one acknowledges
• Why you can “cope” and still be burnt out
• What chronic stress does to your body
• Identity loss after motherhood
• And what real recovery actually looks like

You don’t have to crash to be struggling.
Sometimes the strongest women break quietly.

If that’s you - start here.

Summary

❤️ Valentine’s Day Isn’t Always Roses… Sometimes It’s Resentment.
Valentine’s Day hits differently when you’re a burnt out mum.
It’s not the flowers.
It’s not dinner.
It’s not the Instagram posts.
It’s the emotional load you’re still carrying while everyone talks about romance.
This week on Burnt Out Mummas, we spoke about something that doesn’t get talked about enough…
How burnout affects connection.
How survival mode blocks intimacy.
How hard it is to feel “in love” when you don’t even feel like yourself.
Sometimes it’s not that the relationship is broken.
It’s that you’re exhausted.
And exhaustion doesn’t leave much room for softness.
If you’ve ever:
– Felt guilty for not being in the mood
– Snapped because you’re overstimulated
– Cried over something small
– Wondered “is it us… or am I just burnt out?”
You’re not alone.
Love feels different when your nervous system is fried.
Maybe this Valentine’s Day isn’t about grand gestures.
Maybe it’s about:
🤍 Asking for help
🤍 Having an honest conversation
🤍 Letting yourself rest
🤍 Remembering you’re allowed to need too
Burnout doesn’t mean you’ve fallen out of love.
Sometimes it just means you haven’t had space to feel.
Listen to the full episode now.
Send it to a mum who needs to hear she’s not broken.

Summary

In this episode, we’re joined by Nicki Lambert, a breathwork facilitator who supports women through burnout, anxiety, menopause, grief, and major life transitions.

Nicki shares her personal journey from high-pressure corporate life and single motherhood into functional burnout, and how discovering breathwork transformed her nervous system, her parenting, and her sense of self. Together, we explore why so many mums live in chronic stress, how anxiety is often a sign of a dysregulated nervous system, and why healing doesn’t always require talking through past trauma.

Nicki explains the science behind breathwork, how it helps the body feel safe again, and guides us through a simple breathing exercise listeners can use anytime to calm anxiety and overwhelm. This episode is a powerful reminder that the most effective tools for healing are often already within us.

✨ A must-listen for mums feeling burnt out, anxious, or disconnected from themselves.
