Have you ever noticed that the more bone-tired you are, the harder you try to push through — and the worse everything feels?
So many working moms tell themselves this means they need to try harder, be more disciplined, or push a little longer. But that effort often backfires, leaving you more overwhelmed, on edge, and emotionally drained.
In this episode, we’re talking about why “pushing through” feels like the responsible thing to do — and why it actually makes overwhelm worse when your system is already stretched. You’ll hear why effort stops working when you’re exhausted, what’s happening underneath that tired-but-wired feeling, and why relief doesn’t come from fixing more or doing more.
This episode isn’t about another system or routine. It’s about understanding what your body is asking for and learning how to stop white-knuckling your way through moments you don’t have the capacity to carry.
