What does it really mean to “balance it all”? In this episode, therapist and mom of three, Kathia Aviles LMFT, shares her experience with parenting pressures, mental health, and why she started her own business after COVID. As she and Auria talk through the realities of burnout, identity shifts, and invisible labor, this episode offers the kind of grounded honesty so many parents crave. If you’re navigating similar overwhelm or identity changes, Therapy With Auria provides a compassionate space to sort through the mental load and reclaim your footing.

Learn how motherhood shaped Kathia’s career, why flexibility matters, and what companies can do to support parents better. For moms and caregivers reconnecting to themselves after seasons of survival mode, programs like Move to Mend or the Strong Foundations Strength Program offer movement and support that honor your bandwidth instead of pushing you past it.
