In today's episode we discuss the main conclusion I've come to. It's not surprising that money plays a very big part in mom burnout. If you don't have enough money you will be more burned out. If you do have enough, the chances of you banishing your burnout significantly increases. Tune in to hear my plan for helping moms earn money so they can put an end to their burnout once and for all!

Fear of Money | Ep #17
Banishing Mom Burnout
Money is power and until women have equal control and awareness of their money, they are forfeiting power. In this episode, I shine a light on what I have experienced and what I'm seeing regarding women being disengaged with their money and the reasons why. My husband was in charge of all of the "money stuff," it was his "department." I was like an ostrich with my head in the sand when it came to our money matters. And I knew it. I just didn’t have the time, energy or immediate reason to do anything about it. Happily (refer to episode 4) I straightened this out. How? I got up to speed on...

After realizing the impact of internalized patriarchy (IP) on mom burnout, I have come up with a strategy to deal with it. Join me today as I share this burnout "hack" with you. Here's what I know about internalized patriarchy: It's internal, we cause it Men, in general, don't suffer from it. (Disclaimer: I'm not sure how gender identification plays into this so I am referring to men and women to keep this concept simple - but know I support all forms of gender associations). Therefore, here is a hack ... find a man or person who does not suffer from internalized patriarchy (I have...

Books for Burnout | Ep #14
Banishing Mom Burnout
Step 4 of Banishing Mom Burnout is stop overmomming and use that time and energy to build your life outside of motherhood. One great way to do this is to read. Read... a lot. Reading is a fantastic way to escape/take a break without going anywhere. You can do it while semi-supervising your kids. You can do it while you wait for your kids at activities. Thanks to one of my favorite things, Audible, you can listen to books while mom taxi-ing all over the place. Reading/listening to books is the best! Reading is also one of the best ways to learn new things and continue to grow as a person, which...

Lessons Learned this Summer | Ep #13
Banishing Mom Burnout
This summer wasn't the restful break I thought it would be, but I learned many valuable lessons that I'd like to share. These are lessons that will help you with parenting and mom burnout. I sent my kids away this summer and was looking forward to some quality time-off from "momming." What I experienced was a shift from in-person to long-distance momming, as I dealt with two of my kids struggling while away from home. Coincidentally, I was reading a book called . This book addresses many topics parents need to know about the kids of "Gen Z/I-Gen." I only scratch the surface of the...

Mom Math & Review of the Netflix Show "Old Enough" | Ep #11
Banishing Mom Burnout
As moms, our time and energy is undervalued. We give it away without question. We give our families carte blanche over our schedules, our time, our energy. I know that’s how it was in my house in the past. The kids needed something, they’d ask and I’d drop everything to deliver. Whether they wanted to do an activity, get a ride somewhere, go out to dinner ... they asked and I made it happen. But this approach wasn't sustainable and it led to ... you guessed it ... burnout. I have limited time and energy and if I don't value it then nobody else will. Mom math is a way we can quantify our...

info_outlineModern Motherhood Misunderstanding #2:
"It’s my job to make my kids comfortable and happy."
Moms, this is false!
The scope of modern motherhood has gone off the rails. Many of us focus on our kid's comfort and happiness at the expense of helping them become independent. A mom’s job is to raise the next generation of independent and capable human adults. That’s the job description.
The role of the modern mom has mutated to an impossible place. From a burnout perspective – of course we’re exhausted. The job has been quadrupled. My advice – realize what is your job and what is not your job. When life happens and your child is faced with a difficulty, which is actually a learning opportunity, realize you don't have to step in and get involved. Of course, coach and guide, but it's not your job to fix everything for them. Let's stop overmomming and use that energy to prevent mom burnout. It's better for us and for our kids. Listen to this episode to find out why.
