The Sinus Saga, Burnout & Why I Had to Slow Down

Thursday June 4th: Welcome back to The Mom Room!

Today’s solo episode starts with a trip down memory lane as I share the full history of my sinus issues, from years of recurring infections to sinus surgery in 2015, the complications that followed, and why this has remained such a frustrating part of my health journey.

Then we shift into something that has been on my mind a lot lately: burnout.

Over the past year, I started noticing subtle signs that something wasn't quite right. I was feeling irritated by completely normal work emails. Someone would send a polite "just following up" message and I'd immediately feel annoyed. That was my clue that the issue wasn't the email, it was me. I had reached a point where I was constantly working, constantly rushing, and starting to resent something I genuinely love doing.

So I've been making some changes.

In this episode, I talk about how prioritizing nutrition, movement, daily walks with the dogs, tidying my spaces before sitting down to work, and taking intentional breaks throughout the day has completely changed how I feel. I'm working differently, moving differently, and honestly enjoying my days a lot more.

I also share why I'm feeling pulled toward creating something new, a more focused project that feels exciting and meaningful, but first I need to figure out exactly what that thing is.

If you've been feeling overwhelmed, stuck in productivity mode, or like you're constantly checking things off a never-ending to-do list, this conversation might be exactly what you need today.

Enjoy!
