I brought Whitney Baker on to explore a critical issue for moms: how we lose ourselves in the chaos of motherhood. We dove deep into the ways moms run on autopilot, constantly doing for everyone else while neglecting their own needs. Whitney helped me articulate something I've felt deeply - that taking care of ourselves isn't selfish, it's actually the most generous thing we can do for our families.

Whitney Baker is the founder of Electric Ideas, a movement helping modern women—especially moms—wake back up to themselves and reclaim the spark they’ve lost in the noise of roles and responsibilities. As a self-connection coach and certified meditation teacher, Whitney blends soulful practice with practical action, guiding women out of autopilot and into lives that feel deeply alive and aligned. With a master’s degree in journalism, she brings a storyteller’s clarity to her work and hosts the globally ranked Electric Ideas podcast, a top-three-percent show where she curates conversations that ignite joy, clarity and aliveness in women everywhere.

We discussed the sneaky ways moms disconnect - from exhausting social media comparison to never stopping to ask what we actually want. The big revelation? Small, intentional actions can reignite our spark. Whether it's a two-minute morning routine or saying no without explanation, we can reclaim our identity.

I share a personal journey of self-discovery and the importance of trusting myself. After experiencing a friend's devastating loss, I realized life is too short to chase external validation through Instagram followers or perfect holiday performances. I've learned that what truly matters is being present, listening to my body, and honoring my own feelings.

The pressure to be a perfect mom, to say yes to everything, and to meet society's expectations is exhausting. Instead, I'm choosing to protect my peace, redefine success on my terms, and show my kids that it's okay to prioritize your own joy. Every "no" creates space for a meaningful "yes," and by taking care of myself, I'm teaching my children the most important lesson: you are enough, just as you are.

I'm diving deep into the art of saying no during the holiday season. As a mom who's been a chronic people-pleaser, I've learned that saying yes when you mean no only leads to resentment and exhaustion. I share my personal journey of trying to make everyone happy during my parents' divorce, and how it left me stressed and disconnected.

The key is to prioritize your family's needs first. I recommend sitting down together and discussing what everyone truly wants from the holidays. Learning to set boundaries isn't about rejecting others – it's about protecting your peace and showing up authentically. By saying no with love and clarity, we can create more meaningful connections and teach our children the importance of self-care and honest communication.

I'll share how I escaped feeling invisible and overwhelmed by making small, intentional choices that brought my joy and energy back.

I dive deep into the reality of burnout for modern moms. I challenge the dangerous "I can't" mindset that keeps us stuck, exhausted, and disconnected from ourselves. Drawing from my personal experience of feeling overwhelmed while standing in a messy kitchen late one night, I expose how burnout isn't just about being tired—it's about losing our identity and living on autopilot.

I share startling statistics: nearly 70% of working parents are burned out, and only a quarter of moms report excellent mental health. But here's the truth: burnout is optional. I offer practical strategies to break free, like taking micro-pauses, saying no to draining commitments, and asking for help.

My message is clear: you're not broken, you're a badass. Stop waiting for "someday" and start reclaiming your life now. Thriving is available, and you absolutely deserve it.

This episode is my honest reflection on the identity shift that comes with launching your children into the world.
