Mom Burnout and a Better Way with Chrystal Evans Hurst


Listen Later

 Are you exhausted, overwhelmed, and secretly dreaming of running away to Mexico (no judgment—we’ve all been there)? In this powerful episode, Kate sits down with the amazing Chrystal Evans Hurst—author, speaker, podcaster, encourager of women, and mom burnout expert. Together, they unpack the truth about why moms hit the wall, what burnout really looks like, and how to stop living on fumes.

Chrystal opens up about her own journey—from CPA to homeschooling mom to bestselling author—and how she learned the hard way that running on “second burns” will only carry you so far. She reminds us that God never asked us to measure our motherhood by the world’s standards, and she shares practical wisdom on how to renew your fire before it goes out completely.

What you’ll hear in this episode:

  • The surprising signs you’re headed for burnout (it’s more than just being tired).
  • Why maintaining your “fire” is easier than starting over after burnout.
  • The simple two-question check-in that can change everything: What do I need? What do I want?
  •  How to stop comparing your race to everyone else’s and find joy where you are.
  •  Encouragement for moms who feel hidden, overlooked, or stuck in the “back 40” season of life.
