Constantly exhausted? Modern motherhood involves managing complex schedules, handling most household mental labor, economic pressure, and often inadequate sleep. Add pandemic disruptions that still haven't normalized, and it's no wonder you're drained.

Quick reality check:

Are you getting actual sleep, or just lying down?
When did you last eat a real meal?
Could you name three tasks someone else could fully take over?

These aren't small questions—they're where change starts.

The truth: You're not failing. You're dealing with genuinely demanding circumstances that often lack adequate support systems.

As a therapist, I’ve worked with many people who’ve felt the weight of expectations, holding shame from pursuing needs outside of their family’s.

If this resonates with you, know this: It’s okay to prioritize yourself. It’s okay to say, ‘This isn’t for me,’ and seek a path that aligns with who you are at your core.

Let’s start a conversation: How do you navigate identity and self-worth in a world that often tries to define you?

Forgetting my son’s All-About-Me homework assignment revealed the $60K per year job I'm doing for free. 💸

The mental load of a working primary caregiver is too much.

I am reclaiming my mental bandwidth and “dropping the ball”...as an act of resistance.

You feel taking time for yourself is low on the priority list.

Stepping away means letting balls drop.

But let's be honest—are you even on the priority list?

Right now, your family may be getting the version of you who's exhausted, stretched thin, and running on empty.

When you choose rest, you choose the present moment

When you choose rest, you choose expanded bandwidth

When you choose rest, you show your family that caring for yourself matters

🌿 NEW BLOG POST: "Why Am I So Tired? Understanding the Hidden Forces Behind Mom Burnout"

"Every woman I know keeps asking, 'Why am I so tired?' I'm hearing this from clients, friends, in mom groups, everywhere."

This isn't just about perimenopause, poor sleep, or vitamin deficiencies. What we're experiencing is a convergence of forces that have created a perfect storm.

In this deep dive, I explore:
✨ How collective trauma since 2016 rewired our nervous systems
✨ Why mothers carry 71% of the mental load (and what that actually means)
✨ When burnout becomes spiritual depletion
✨ Why individual solutions aren't enough for systemic problems
✨ What real recovery actually looks like

For the therapist counseling others while her own nervous system stays activated. For the physician healing bodies while neglecting her own. For the mom who's lost herself in the endless demands of caregiving.

Your exhaustion isn't your fault, and it's not permanent. What you're experiencing is a natural response to unnatural circumstances.

Here are quick and simple tools that anyone can use, kids included!

Blast your favorite playlist - pick your favorite songs and tune everything else out 🔆

Power nap - grab 20 minutes for the most effective pick-me-up 🔆

Sing or hum for 5+ minutes - allow the larynx to activate the vagus nerve, bringing on a reset 🔆

Get your heart pumping - choose jumping jacks, push-ups, a quick run…whatever leaves you out of breath🔆

Take a cold shower - release relaxing hormones and neurotransmitters, such as dopamine, serotonin, cortisol, norepinephrine, and β-endorphins 🔆

When was your last kid-free weekend?

For many moms, the answer is never.
Not because they don’t want one.
But because the idea feels impossible. Too much to plan. Too much guilt.

That’s why Therapy put together a practical guide: how to prep and how to ease the mom-guilt so you can actually have a kid-free weekend.

Time away doesn’t mean you’ve abandoned your family. It means you’ve invested in them by coming back calmer, steadier, and more present.
