Regulate & Rewire: An Anxiety & Depression Podcast

My Postpartum Crashout (and the Robot That Talked Me Off the Ledge)


Listen Later

Ever feel like you're failing, no matter how hard you try to organize, optimize, or just push through? In this deeply personal and vulnerable episode, Amanda pulls back the curtain on her own postpartum season—navigating life as a new mom of three while running a business. She shares the story of a recent "crash out" spiral and the unlikely tool that gave her the reality check she desperately needed.


In this episode, you'll learn:

  • Why the feeling that you’re constantly "failing" is often a sign of an impossible equation, not a personal flaw, and how to spot the signs of a capacity crash out.
  • A practical, step-by-step exercise to get an objective look at your true workload vs. your actual capacity (and why a robot might be the mirror you need).
  • How to dismantle the cultural myth of "doing it all" and start separating your self-worth from your productivity.
  • The two strategic choices you have when the math doesn't add up, and how to start implementing them with self-compassion.


3 Takeaways:

  1. Do the Math on Your Life, you might be trying to solve an impossible equation without even realizing it.
  2. You have two options: Do less or get more support (usually both)
  3. You're not the problem, the expectation is. Sometimes the most regulated, aligned, grounded thing you can do is tell yourself the truth about what’s possible and what’s not.
