The Real Mother Effort Podcast

Why You're Just So Tired As A Mom


Listen Later

Why are we all so damn tired?!

We're talking about the kind of tired that isn't fixed by a nap or going to bed earlier — the deeper, emotional kind that comes from carrying all the life-management tasks, the logistics, the mental load, and the constant kid-monitoring that never really turns off.

I'm breaking down why this happens, why it feels different from work exhaustion, and what you can actually do to feel a little lighter in the middle of it all.

Episode Highlights:

  • Why "the mom kind of tired" is different from normal tired
  • The disconnect between what fuels you and what drains you
  • The emotional labor and constant vigilance no one sees
  • Why chores and logistics take more out of you than parenting itself
  • Practical ways to reclaim energy when you can't change the workload
