{13.8} Motherhood Burnout: Are you 'just' tired or is there something else going on?

Listen on:

Do you ever feel disengaged from your children? Find yourself hiding in the kitchen scrolling on your phone rather than spending quality time with your children? Feel like there's always things to do stopping you from being in the moment?

This is what motherhood burnout looks like.

Motherhood burnout is real, and no-one talks about it. It’s not just about being tired. It’s about feeling disconnected from your children, like you’re just going through the motions, constantly overwhelmed, and guilty for not enjoying the time you have with them.

I’ve been there; and still do on occasion, especially as I get close to my period or feel particularly busy with work.

So in this episode of Raising Healthy Mothers, I’m sharing what has helped me get out of that cycle – and how you can too.

You’ll learn:

  • The surprising reason why spending more time with your kids isn’t always the answer.

  • The small daily habits that made the biggest difference in my energy and patience.

  • Why nutrient insufficiencies could be making burnout worse – even if your GP says your blood tests are 'normal'.

  • The physical symptoms that are your body's way of crying out for attention

If you feel like you’re constantly on the edge of snapping – or just barely holding it together – this episode will help you start making changes today.
