After a tough experience with a traumatic childbirth, I started shaking uncontrollably. I didn't understand it at the time, but there's this one book that helped me go through this.

In this episode of the Mom on Purpose book club, we're going to dive deep into the book "Burnout: The Secret to Unlocking the Stress Cycle" by Emily and Amelia Nagoski. 

We'll talk about what burnout really is and how "Human Giver Syndrome" is slowly killing us. Today, we'll understand the body's natural process of completing the stress cycle to actively manage stress.

My hope is you realize that your joy matters, you matter. You can really heal your burnout with all of the steps that the book provides. I invite you to take them.

What you'll learn:

  • The role of "human giver syndrome" in perpetuating selflessness
  • The role of societal expectations and the patriarchy in contributing to burnout
  • Techniques to complete the stress cycle
  • Insights about burnout based on the book "Burnout: The Secret to Unlocking the Stress Cycle" by Emily Nagoski PhD
  • Methods to identify when stress is not fully released and signs that stress needs attention

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
