Overcaffeinated and Out of Effs: For Burned Out, Career-Minded Moms

In this episode of Overcaffeinated and Out of Effs we're talking about the kind of burnout that shows up in early motherhood – something no one really prepares you for. I'm joined by licensed therapist and mom of two, Laura Todd, who specializes in maternal mental health and early childhood. She shares both her professional insight and personal experience navigating burnout after becoming a mother including the identity shifts, value conflicts and pressure that so many women carry.If you've ever asked yourself, “I love my kids...but why does this feel so much harder than I expected?” then this episode is for you. It will help you feel less alone while giving you the practical tools to start feeling like yourself again.Together we talk about:Why burnout is so common in early motherhoodThe difference between postpartum mental health struggles and maternal burnoutOne thing most people don't understand about burnoutNervous system regulation strategies for overwhelmed momsSmall, realistic steps you can take to begin recovering your energyDaily or weekly practices to help you prevent your burnout from getting worseCommon beliefs about motherhood to unlearn that will help you feel betterLaura reminds us that feeling burned out isn't a sign that you're failing and it definitely doesn't mean you're a bad mom.

In this episode of Overcaffeinated and Out of Effs we're talking about something that doesn't get nearly enough attention – the relationship between financial stress and burnout. I'm joined by financial coach and author Adam Koren, who shares a refreshingly compassionate approach to money. Adam doesn't rely on shame, strict rules or telling people to “just try harder.” Because the truth is, as stressful as money management can be, when you're already burned out it just hits harder....and relying on these methods just isn't going to help. When your nervous system is maxed out, even simple financial decisions can feel like too much.In this conversation we explore how to take the pressure off, ease the guilt and start approaching your finances in a way that feels supportive instead of stressful.We talk about:Why financial stress hits harder when you're already burned outThe connection between money avoidance, shame and emotional exhaustionSome of the biggest myths about money that moms need to unlearnWhat a gentler, compassionate approach to money looks like in real lifeHow to start feeling more in control of your finances without adding more to your plateSimple, realistic ways to reduce money stress when you don't have the bandwidthAdam reminds us that you don't need more discipline and you don't need more pressure. You need support, compassion and a way forward that actually works for you.Find Adam at:Website: www.adamkoren.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/akorenInstagram: @adamkorencoachingLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/adamkoren/Book: Gentle Money: A Compassionate Guide to Overcoming Financial StressLooking for extra support?

In this episode of Overcaffeinated and Out of Effs I'm joined by Raquel Castillo, a fractional COO, wife and mom of three boys who shares her journey from career success to full-blown burnout and how she ultimately redefined what success looks like in this season of motherhood.

Today Raquel works in a completely different way that prioritizes sustainability, boundaries and trust. Raquel talks about what burnout looked like for her as a mom with a demanding job, how it affected her relationships and sense of self, and what changes she made to start moving toward a life that was more aligned with the things most important to her.Together we talk about guilt, over-functioning and the pressure to “do it all,” while also offering practical strategies to help other working moms who are also struggling to redefine success on their own terms.Find Raquel at:Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/theonlineintegrator/Fractional assessment: If someone is wondering if they're ready to leap - https://theonlineintegrator.com/fractional-assessmentLooking for extra support?

We all want the holiday season to feel joyful and magical but for many moms it feels exhausting, overwhelming and stressful instead. What we want is often confused with what we believe the holidays are supposed to look like and, as a result, so many moms experience an exceptional amount of pressure in an effort to meet those expectations. In this solo episode of Overcaffeinated and Out of Effs I dive into why the holidays lead to burnout for so many moms, especially for those who are already carrying the mental load all year around. From unrealistic expectations and social pressure to financial stress and emotional exhaustion, I break down what's really going on and why you're not alone if the season feels like too much.I talk about why the pressure to create “perfect” holidays leaves so many moms feeling burned out, how to clarify what really matters to you, simple ways to do less without sacrificing the things you care about most, and a gentle reminder that setting boundaries is not selfish but necessary.Looking for extra support?

If you've ever felt like you have to do it all, do it well and never let anything fall, you're not alone. Many high-achieving moms feel the constant pressure to perform, believing excellence will keep them safe from judgment, from failure, from falling behind or from letting someone down. But how do we know when we've crossed the line from successful to harmful?In this episode of Overcaffeinated and Out of Effs I sit down with Dr. Tara Cousineau, a clinical psychologist, meditation teacher, coach and author of a new book, The Perfectionist's Dilemma: Learn the Art of Self-Compassion and Become a Happy Achiever. Dr. Cousineau specializes in guiding individuals and organizations to cultivate inner worth, self-compassion and authentic leadership.Together we explore what perfectionism is, why so many ambitious moms struggle with the pressure to perform, signs that our perfectionism has crossed the line from healthy and motivating to harmful, what actually happens to our nervous system when we're constantly “on,” the three biggest mistakes people make when trying to break perfectionist habits, and simple first steps for letting go without lowering our standards.

In this episode of Overcaffeinated and Out of Effs I'm joined by Dr. Erica Buchholz, a parent coach with a doctorate in Applied Developmental Psychology, who helps overwhelmed parents recover from burnout using intentional laughter and play. Drawing from the science of play, she helps parents activate their creativity, reignite their joy, and equips them with tools for lasting emotional regulation.Dr. Buchholz teaches us about the three pillars of burnout recovery: Recharging, Inner Power and Time to Thrive. She talks about the surprise connection between play, laughter and burnout recovery; what intentional laughter does to your brain and body and why two minutes of giggling a day can actually shift your nervous system; and how play increases creativity, patience and emotional regulation. She shares simple laughter practices you can try immediately along with small, doable ways to reconnect with yourself even on the hardest days. Dr. Buchholz provides a playful, hope-filled perspective on motherhood.

We all know how important our health is but it can be incredibly difficult to make it a priority when we're exhausted, overworked and constantly doing everything for everybody else. In today's episode of Overcaffeinated and Out of Effs I sit down with Esther Avant – working mom, author, coach and co-owner of MADE By ME Coaching.

Today I sit down with Kasey Edwards, international bestselling author of Raising Girls Who Like Themselves and Bringing Up Boys Who Like Themselves. “ When children like themselves, they are more resilient, confident, and independent.
