This week on Suburban Burnout, Megan and Laura reflect on Mother’s Day and how it often brings more insight than rest. From hilarious cat chaos to complex parenting dynamics, they share personal stories and insight on the emotional labor of motherhood and the importance of trusting your gut.
They dive into the everyday moments that demand courage: advocating for your kids at school or on the field, speaking up at the doctor’s office, or dealing with pushy people who cross your boundaries. With real-life examples, they explore the pressures moms face to conform, the guilt that sneaks in when we push back, and why honoring your instincts is the ultimate act of self-care.
If you’ve ever felt conflicted about how to speak up, when to walk away, or whether to trust that nagging feeling in your gut—this one’s for you.
Topics include: – The unexpected drama of pet ownership (yes, the cats are back) – Why setting boundaries in parenting and business is hard—but necessary – How coaching, teachers, and school dynamics can shake your confidence – Emotional intelligence in communication, decision-making, and relationships – Real talk on guilt, self-advocacy, and why sometimes, you just need to say “no”
