No Guilt Mom | Overcoming Mom Guilt, Mental Load & Parenting Tips for Moms

Let’s get serious! Well, we are always serious on this podcast, but we do love to throw in some fun and humor along the way! In this episode, we're diving into some weighty topics that often come up in our balance coaching program. These are the lies we tell ourselves, the lies that make us miserable. You know, the ones that say we can't do something because we lack experience or resources, the ones that make us feel like we don't deserve happiness or that there's no time for us to pursue our dreams. Then there's the lie that says no one will like us if we take a risk and step out of our comfort zone. And finally, the lie that something is too overwhelming and beyond our control. 

We're here to help you recognize and overcome these lies so you can live a more fulfilled life and be a positive role model for your kids! So let's kick those lies to the curb and step into who we are meant to be!

If you've ever felt overwhelmed and close to a breaking point, you're not alone!

In this episode, we're diving into the concept of the mental load, something that's been all over social media lately. Moms often take on the role of being our children's counselor in relationships and emotions, absorbing their feelings and challenges. Combine that with managing the family's overall mood, predicting potential stressors, and trying to create harmony within the household….it’s overwhelming, to say the least. We're shedding light on six hidden tasks that might be adding to your mental load and pushing you to the edge. We'll chat about the idea of a "body budget" from Mona Delahooke's book, Brain Body Parenting, and how it relates to sensory input and overwhelm. 

Join us as we explore the challenges, misconceptions, and strategies to lighten that mental load and find some balance!
