The Overwhelm Toolkit: What's Actually Helping Me Right Now

About this episode

Emma Jaulin discusses her personal experiences with overwhelm and shares her toolkit for managing it.

Mum Talk is back and this week Emma is getting straight into it. After a few years away, she's back in your ears talking about the thing that's been dominating her world lately, overwhelm. Not the polished version. The real one. The shutting down, the vacant stare, the not being able to be present with your kids even though being present is the whole reason you made the choices you made. Emma shares her honest toolkit for managing overwhelm right now, from morning movement and grounding practices to magnesium butter, her sleep routine, and the app she's been quietly building to get the invisible load out of her head and onto something she can actually manage. She also talks about launching a small tech startup while relaunching a podcast, juggling a poorly child, Easter holidays approaching, and the very specific loneliness of struggling in silence while putting your face on for everyone else. Real, honest, zero fluff. Exactly what Mum Talk has always been. Next week: screen time, the new guidance, what it actually looks like in Emma's house, and whether any of us are getting it right.
