The Summer I Ignored All My Own Advice (And What it Cost Me)

Listen Later

Have you ever known better but couldn’t seem to do better?

This summer, I poured everything into building my business and taking care of my kids… and completely stopped taking care of myself. What looked like “thriving” from the outside was actually mom burnout behind the scenes.

In this episode, I share:

  • The signs I was running on empty (and ignoring every red flag)

  • The heartbreaking moment my son started preferring dad at bedtime

  • How overworking and skipping self-care cost me joy, health, and presence

  • Why losing yourself in motherhood can happen to anyone, even those of us who “know better”

  • The small, realistic steps I took to start coming back to myself

  • Why self-care for moms isn’t selfish, it’s the foundation for connection, patience, and joy

    • This isn’t about perfection. It’s about presence. It’s about grace. And it’s about realizing that you can’t pour from an empty cup, but you can refill it, no matter how far gone you feel.

    ✨ If you’re an overwhelmed mom who’s been ignoring your own needs, this episode will remind you it’s not too late to rest, reset, and reconnect, with yourself and with the people you love most.
