If you're a parent doing everything for everyone - and still feel like you’re barely holding it together… If you’re exhausted no matter how much sleep you get… If you're doing all the “right” things, but are still snapping, numbing out, or shutting down… You’re not just tired. You’re burnt out.

In this episode, we break down the real reason you feel stuck, and what to do about it. You’ll learn:

  • The difference between stress and burnout (and why it’s critical to know it as a parent)
  • How to tell if you're stuck in a stress loop that's wrecking your energy, mood, and connection with your kids
  • The 6 science-backed tools that will actually help you feel better
  • What happens to your body and brain when burnout goes untreated
  • The small, daily shifts that will help you recover - without changing your entire life


This is not self-care fluff. This is neuroscience. This is your permission to stop pushing through - and start coming back to life.
