Fit, Fun, and Frazzled

If you’ve ever faced failure, whether in business, relationships, or personal goals, this episode is for you.

In this episode, I’m getting real about what it’s like to experience not one, not two, but three failed launches in a row. It’s not easy to face failure, especially when it happens repeatedly, but I’m here to share why this experience is becoming one of my biggest teachers.

I’ll walk you through:
- What didn’t go as planned and the key mistakes I made
- How I’m reflecting on these failures without beating myself up
- Why adopting a growth mindset is helping me stay resilient
- The importance of tuning into intuition and aligning with what feels right
- My plan for bouncing back stronger and more aligned than ever

I’m sharing my own journey of reframing setbacks and using them as fuel for growth and learning. We’re in this together, and I hope my experience inspires you to keep going, even when the road feels rough.

If this episode resonated with you, I’d love to hear your thoughts! Please subscribe, leave a review, and share this episode with anyone who could use a reminder that failure is not the end, but a new beginning.

In today’s episode of Fit, Fun, and Frazzled, we are diving deep into the hidden yet powerful force that so many mothers face daily—the mental load.

The mental load refers to the invisible tasks that moms carry in their minds, from organizing schedules to remembering every family member’s needs. We’ll discuss how this often-overlooked responsibility can lead to feelings of overwhelm, burnout, and even resentment, while also exploring ways to manage and lighten the mental load for more balance and peace in everyday life.
We’ll cover:
- What exactly is the mental load, and why it matters so much for modern moms
- The emotional, physical, and psychological impact of carrying the mental load
- Personal stories and real-life examples of how this burden manifests in the lives of working moms, stay-at-home moms, and moms in midlife
- Practical tips to alleviate the mental load through mindful practices, delegation, and self-care
- Why it's essential to involve partners and family members in sharing the mental load for a more balanced and healthier household
- How shifting your mindset can help you reclaim your energy, time, and mental space
Join me for a raw, honest conversation about the mental load and how we can all support mothers better, whether you're a mom yourself or someone who cares for one. Together, let’s move toward more aligned, balanced, and less frazzled living.

Key Takeaways:
1. Understanding the Mental Load: We’ll break down what the mental load really means and how it differs from physical chores and household responsibilities.
   
2. Emotional Toll: Carrying the mental load is emotionally taxing, leading to anxiety, stress, and even feelings of failure or guilt.
3. Impact on Relationships: Discover how the imbalance of the mental load can strain relationships with partners, children, and even friends. We'll also discuss the societal expectations of motherhood and how this contributes to the mental load.
4. Practical Solutions: From mindful delegation to scheduling "mental health breaks," you’ll learn actionable steps to start lightening the load today.
5. Communication Tips: We’ll explore strategies for having conversations with partners or family members about the invisible labor you carry—and how to get them involved without guilt or resistance.
6. Self-Care & Boundaries: Discover why setting boundaries, embracing self-care, and prioritizing your mental health is key to managing the mental load in the long term.

In today’s episode of Fit, Fun, and Frazzled, we dive deep into the power of positive affirmations and how they can be used as a tool for manifesting your dreams and desires. Whether you are new to affirmations or have been using them for years, this episode will give you a more profound understanding of the psychology behind affirmations, how they work, and how to apply them effectively in your daily life. I’ll be walking you through step-by-step techniques for creating affirmations that are aligned with your personal goals and showing you how to embed them into your routine so that they actually start producing results.
