In this week's episode of the podcast, I’m diving deep into the truth of your 2025 and why so many working moms are closer to burnout than they realize — not because of dramatic moments, but because of the small, daily “fender benders” we’ve learned to brush off.

I share the three subtle signs that burnout is on the horizon, why your brain resists change (even the change you want), and how to set yourself up for a completely different 2026. If you’ve been stretched thin, craving presence, or quietly wondering if you can keep going like this…this episode is the reset you didn’t know you needed. 

Topics in this episode:

• The three overlooked signs that burnout is approaching 
• Why your current pace of success may not be one you actually chose 
• The presence problem — when your brain and body are never in the same place 
• How skipping or overriding your own “me time” leads straight to exhaustion 
• Why urgency sparks change — and how to use it to reset before 2026
