As moms, we’re always the ones taking care of everybody else when they get sick – but who takes care of us? In this episode, I share what happened when I got sick and actually let myself rest (for the first time). We talk about how I used to spiral into cycles of guilt, fear, and shame any time I couldn’t “keep it all together.” We dive into why it’s so hard for perfectionist moms to slow down, how to stop equating your worth with your to-do list, and why over-functioning is one of the biggest forms of self-sabotage. Tune in for the unexpected joy of waking up to a house that didn’t fall apart without you.

 

Highlights

• The mental load of being sick when you’re the default parent.

• Why perfectionist moms struggle to let go of control.

• What I used to believe about “earning” rest.

• What changed when I stopped equating rest with being lazy.

• The ONE sentence I repeat when I feel guilty about resting.
