Feeling guilty about needing a break?


In this episode, Shawna and Cara tackle the tough topic of asking for help without feeling like you're failing.


They discuss why it feels so hard, the difference between family and hired help, and how to overcome the mental roadblocks that keep us from the support we need.


This is a must-listen for any mom who feels like she's doing too much and is ready to find some guilt-free rest.


TLFMTR (Too LONG for Mom to read):

  • Learning to reframe asking for help as a sign of wisdom, not weakness.

  • Identifying the limiting stories we tell ourselves that act as barriers to getting support.

  • Understanding that hired help can sometimes be emotionally easier than family help.

  • Viewing paid support as an essential investment in your mental well-being.


What's one story you're telling yourself that might be stopping you from receiving the support you truly deserve?


Remember, you are a great mom, and you're not alone in this.
