  • Why Doing Nothing Feels So Hard — and Why You Need It Anyway
    Jul 10 2025

    Stillness isn’t laziness. It’s a skill — and for ambitious moms, it might be the most radical one.

    In this episode, we explore:

    • Why our culture pushes constant productivity — and why this is especially hard on ambitious women and mothers.

    • The body’s signals that you need stillness: from racing thoughts to shoulder tension and snapping at your kids.

    • How to redefine rest as truly productive, supporting your creativity, resilience, and nervous system health.

    • Small, guilt-free practices to reconnect with “doing nothing,” like mindful walks or sitting with a cup of tea.

    • How to use body cues to catch overdoing before burnout hits.

    • And why your vacation shouldn’t become just another packed checklist (plus why boredom is actually a gift for you and your kids).

    If your mind struggles to slow down or you feel guilty when you’re not ticking boxes, this episode is your invitation to pause. Start with one moment. One breath. One brave choice to just be.

  • Decision Fatigue is Real – Here's How to Outsmart It
    Jul 8 2025

    Feeling drained by all the decisions you have to make, Mama? From work choices to household logistics to tiny daily preferences—your brain is on overload. In this episode, we break down why decision fatigue is real (backed by science), why ambitious moms are especially vulnerable, and how the dynamics at home and work might be adding to your mental load without you even noticing.

    You'll learn how to spot the subtle body signals that tell you you’ve hit your decision limit, plus practical ways to outsmart decision fatigue—like creating decision-free zones, delegating (yes, even at work!), and giving your kids age-appropriate choices to reduce pushback and foster independence.

    Tune in to discover how fewer decisions (not better ones) might be the real key to clarity and calm.

  • Out of Office… Sort of? How to Actually Unplug and Refuel
    Jul 3 2025

    Your body might be on vacation — but is your mind still checking emails?

    In this episode, we explore why it's so hard for ambitious moms to fully unplug, even when they want to. We’ll unpack the deeper layers of identity, responsibility, and guilt that make switching off feel impossible — and how to move out of work mode and into rest mode using body awareness.

    You’ll learn:
    ✨ How to tell the difference between work mode and rest mode in your body
    ✨ Realistic boundaries that actually reduce mental load (without setting you up to fail)
    ✨ Simple rituals to transition in and out of work — even when vacation is half work, half play
    ✨ What to do when your brain won’t stop racing (and how to soothe it somatically)

    Whether you're prepping for an actual holiday or just craving more breathing room in your day, this episode offers gentle, grounded strategies to help you rest — for real.

    🎧 Tune in and let rest do its magic.
