Driven or Drained? Honoring Your Capacity Without Guilt

Send us a text

Are you being called to push or pause right now? Fall often feels like a prime time to go after your goals, yet many moms feel unmotivated and melancholic once kids return to school and they finally get a little margin back in their day.

In this episode, I normalize the functional “paralysis” you might experience after a transition. Rather than shame yourself for being unproductive, I invite you to honor your emotions and needs so you can, as they say, slow down to speed up. 

BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU'LL DISCOVER:

• Why your brain LOVES to think of fall as a blank slate for going after big goals
• The two contrasting reactions moms often have this time of year
• The deep physical and emotional needs your body might be trying to communicate with you—and how detrimental it would be to ignore those signs
• Why your vicious inner critic shows up to make you feel guilty for NOT being ambitious and motivated
• How reaching out for help and surrounding yourself with likeminded women who GET IT is crucial for rebounding faster
