About this episode

The episode discusses the burnout mothers feel from longing for more while managing the demands of motherhood.

In this episode we talk about the burnout that comes from longing for more — more space, more freedoms, more travel or even just more self-care - even when you love your kids. I explore how wanting more space, creativity, or identity outside motherhood can feel exhausting when we suppress it, and share simple ways to honor that feeling, create small freedoms, and drop the guilt.
