Ever feel like your mind is a jar of shaken glitter, thoughts swirling chaotically as you juggle work deadlines and family responsibilities? You're not alone.

Mental fitness trainer Karishma Motiram reveals transformative approaches to parenting and work-life balance in this enlightening conversation. Drawing from her personal journey, Karishma shares how returning to work after her second child triggered unexpected confidence issues despite workplace support. "They were almost so nice that it made me doubt myself," she explains, highlighting the complex psychological terrain working parents navigate.

What makes this episode particularly valuable is the practical wisdom Karishma offers. She introduces the concept of mental fitness—strengthening your psychological muscles just as you would physical ones at the gym. Through simple exercises like focused sensory awareness for just ten seconds, parents can quiet the chaos of competing demands and make clearer decisions. Her distinction between priorities and focus revolutionizes how parents think about balancing responsibilities: "What you need to focus on doesn't mean that it's more important because you need to focus on it. It just means right now it needs your focus."

Perhaps most powerful is Karishma's perspective on perfectionism. "Imagine a child growing up with a perfect parent," she challenges listeners. "Do you actually want to put that pressure on your children?" This reframing helps parents see how their self-imposed standards affect their entire family system, creating permission for everyone to embrace their humanity.

These resources offer simple yet profound ways to reconnect with yourself beneath all your roles and responsibilities. Your journey to becoming a more centered, present parent starts with just ten seconds of awareness.
