Foster parenting is one of the most beautiful, heartbreaking, stretching, and transformative journeys a person can take. It’s a path filled with late-night calls, endless paperwork, uncertain outcomes, emotional highs, and devastating lows. And while so many foster moms step into this role with open hearts and the best intentions, the truth is: fostering can sometimes feel like too much.

That’s not because you’re not strong enough. It’s because foster parenting is uniquely demanding—mentally, emotionally, and physically. And without realizing it, you may find yourself moving closer and closer to burnout.

In this episode, I want to unpack what foster mom burnout looks like, why it happens, and—most importantly—what you can do to care for yourself so that you can continue caring for the children who need you.
