Better Relationships After Baby

Why Overwhelm Is Costing Moms—and Society—More Than We Realize


Listen Later

What if reducing mom overwhelm wasn’t just a personal need, but a social necessity? In this unscripted, heart-led episode of Better Relationships After Baby with Chelsea Skaggs, I’m sharing a personal practice I use with clients (and recently did myself) to unpack why overwhelmed mothers are a systemic issue, not just a personal struggle.

You’ll hear:

  • Why the constant overload isn’t sustainable—or your fault

  • How your values can guide your decisions and boundaries

  • The ripple effect of maternal well-being on families, communities, and leadership

  • What it means to reclaim your voice and live in alignment, even in the chaos of early motherhood

When moms are given real support—not just more pressure to "balance it all"—everything from households to boardrooms shifts.

✨ If you’ve felt the weight of the mental load and wondered if it has to be this way, this episode is for you.
