As a working mom, you juggle countless responsibilities—career, family, home, and everything in between. But when was the last time you prioritized yourself? In this episode of Empowering the Working Mom Podcast, we’re diving deep into the importance of intentional self-care and rest—not as a luxury, but as a necessity to prevent burnout. Our special guest, Dr. Marissa Alert, shares the need for intentional self-care and rest to avoid burnout, especially during uncertain and uncomfortable times. This episode is your reminder that you can’t pour from an empty cup—and that rest is a radical form of self-preservation.

Key Empowering Moments:

  1. Rest isn’t just sleep or doing nothing; it’s about engaging in intentional activities that restore the body, mind, and spirit.
  2. Without intentional rest, chronic stress can lead to burnout and reduced performance, making planned recovery essential for well-being.
  3. Rest requires prioritization and planning; small, intentional habits can make rest a sustainable part of daily life.
