MomFuel & Mindset
You've read the books. You know you should prioritize yourself. You're still last on your own list every single night. MomFuel & Mindset is the podcast for the mom who gives everything to everyone and is quietly running on empty while holding the whole world together. We're Chrissy and Jess, two real friends, two moms in the thick of it and we built this podcast because we got tired of pretending we had it together. Every week we show up with raw honest conversation and practical tools for the moments that actually break you. The overstimulation. The invisible mental load nobody sees. The reactive moment you replay at 2am. The guilt that follows you to bed. We don't sugarcoat it. We don't pretend it's easy. And we never make you feel like you're the only one struggling. Because you're not broken. You're just running on empty in a world that keeps asking you to give more. New episodes every Thursday. Come as you are. 💜 Chrissy & Jess
