Hey Momma — have you ever felt like your overwhelm is invisible? Like no matter how much you’re juggling, your spouse just doesn’t see how heavy it feels?
This episode gets real and personal. I’m opening up about the years my husband and I spent slowly building walls in our marriage, not because we fell out of love, but because we stopped communicating what we needed.
Overwhelm doesn’t just make you tired; it creates distance. Every “I’m fine,” every unspoken frustration, every snapped response, those are the bricks that build the wall. And before you know it, you’re living on opposite sides of it, both craving connection but not sure how to find your way back.
In this episode, I’m sharing exactly how we began to rebuild communication and tear those walls down one habit at a time.
Ultimately, I’m challenging you to stop waiting for your partner to “just get it” and instead, start communicating with awareness, ownership, and clarity. Because when overwhelm builds walls, communication is what lets the light back in.
Let’s partner together because momming is not easy, but it’s way harder when you keep trying to do it alone. I know you’re ready to put those babies to bed… it’s time to pop in your ear pods, shake up your fizz, and let’s get stacking. 🤍✨
