Early Release - Episode 40: Carpool Therapy - When Motivation Takes a Time Out
What happens when the hockey mum who does it all suddenly… doesn’t want to do any of it? In this raw, funny, and totally relatable solo episode, Amanda gets real about burnout, lost motivation, and that weird in-between space where you’re not just tired — you’re emotionally benched.
Recorded straight from her car (and heart), Amanda shares what happens when the rink becomes your whole identity — and how to start finding yourself again one coffee run, one deep sigh, and one sarcastic self-pep-talk at a time.
If you’ve ever screamed into your steering wheel between drop-offs or wondered who you are beyond the hockey schedule… buckle up. Welcome to Carpool Therapy.
- When “I’ll rest after the weekend” turns into six tournaments later 🫠
- Why motivation disappears even when you love what you do
- The identity crisis no one warns hockey mums about
- The emotional weight of being “on” all the time for your family
- Learning to give yourself the same grace you give your kids
- The power of five quiet minutes alone in the car
You’re not lazy. You’re tired, overstimulated, and running a full-time logistics operation out of a minivan.
Sometimes, the most productive thing you can do is nothing.
