Are you just surviving motherhood instead of living it?


Guest Alexandra Lily, a mom of five boys, shares her raw journey from being on autopilot, navigating her son's epilepsy, and facing her own major health crises (including cancer) to finally rewiring her brain for joy.


This is a powerful, validating episode for any mom who feels numb, overwhelmed, and like she's lost herself.


TLFMTR (Too Long For Mom To Read):


  • Survival mode isn't a "season"; it rewires your brain, and you must be intentional to change it.

  • A heartbreaking "wake-up call" can be realizing you feel relief at a scary diagnosis because it means someone will finally take care of you.

  • Being praised as a "strong mom" can become a trap that keeps you from asking for help.

  • The first step out is simply listening to new, positive content to change the negative "soundtrack" in your head.

  • Healing isn't perfect. Every time you "come back" to a new habit, you are actively rewiring your brain.


What small parts of you (your joy, your health, your peace) have gotten lost while you've been in survival mode, just trying to keep everyone else afloat?


Remember, you are a great mom, and you're not alone in this.
