Recognising and managing mum burnout


Listen Later

Mum burnout is a state of physical, emotional, and mental exhaustion caused by the ongoing demands of motherhood. It often goes unnoticed until it seriously affects wellbeing, relationships, and day-to-day functioning. Recognising the signs early and implementing small, practical changes can help mums recover and regain balance in their lives.
Key Takeaways

- Burnout is real and valid – Feeling exhausted or overwhelmed doesn’t make you a bad parent; it means you need support and rest.

-  You don’t have to do it all – Asking for help and setting boundaries is essential, not selfish.

- Self-care isn’t optional – Prioritising sleep, breaks, and time for yourself helps prevent burnout and restores your energy.

- Support matters – Whether through friends, family, or professionals, connection and open conversation can lighten the mental load.
