When you’re stressed and overwhelmed, people naturally offer well-intentioned advice but there’s one thing that inevitably just makes you feel WORSE.

In this episode, we’re breaking down what that is, why it’s so triggering, and what a stressed out mom really needs in that moment instead.

Whether you’re the stressed out mom in this scenario OR the one trying to offer “help”, you can’t afford to miss this deep-dive into how moms’ stress is rooted in a deep, even subconscious, belief you have to earn your self-worth and thus any insinuation you should do less just sends your body into a threat response.

BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU'LL DISCOVER:

• The WORST thing you can say to a stressed-out mom
• What her stressed-out brain really hears when you say that
• Where her sense of perceived threat really comes from
• Exactly what to do and say instead to help a stressed-out mom actually feel safe
• Why it’s imperative that stressed-out moms learn the roots of their subconscious triggers so they don’t pass on generational trauma to their own kids

HOMEWORK:

Consider the extent to which all this applies to you. Notice how you feel, both emotionally and physically in your body, when someone comments on how much you’re doing or insinuates either that you should do less or aren’t doing enough. Then next time that situation arises, simply pause and remind yourself in that moment that you are safe, you DON’T ever have to earn love & belonging, and no matter what anyone else thinks you know you’re coming from the best of intentions.

You juggle so much and work so hard…so why does it never feel like enough? Because you’ve been lied to.

In this powerful episode, I share three big myths about time that you, like me, surely fell for. These harmful false beliefs are so common that you might not even realize how strongly they pervade your everyday actions—but they really set you up for misery, if not failure.

Don’t worry: I break down what these three time management myths are, where they come from, and why they’re so devious along with the TRUTH you really need to know instead.

BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU'LL DISCOVER:

• What you’re really signaling when you say, “I don’t have enough time”
• Key differences between those who struggle to use their time “well” versus those who succeed in spite of how “little” time they have at their disposal
• The ugly reality of where the concept of “time management” comes from
• How the rational part of your brain is overridden by your subconscious beliefs
• Why motherhood throws your identity and self-worth into question more than ever before

HOMEWORK:

Journal about your pre-existing thoughts and beliefs about time. What does time represent to you? Where have those thoughts come from? What messages did you receive about time and how you spend it growing up? Then step back and get curious: Do you still think all those things are true? Why or why not? What do you want to believe about time? And which of the three myths covered in this episode feels most prevalent for you? Share your thoughts with me via email or Instagram DM if you'd like personalized feedback!

COMING UP NEXT:

Ever gotten annoyed or enraged when someone tells you to “relax”, “let it go,” or “just do less”? In the next episode, I’ll unpack why these are the exact WORSE advice you can give to a busy mom trying to balance it all.

No one prepares you for the brutal reality that after having kids, your time is no longer your own. And yet, you NEED time for you in order to catch your breath, recharge your batteries, and show back up as the best version of yourself for your loved ones.

Neglecting yourself and your desires only sets everyone up for disaster. (Ask me how I know!!!) Putting yourself at the bottom of your to-do list isn't healthy or sustainable, and actually makes your family worse off in the long-term (Institute for Family Studies 2019).

Carving out time for yourself feels impossible, but that's only because you haven't had the structure, resources, motivation, accountability, and SUPPORT you need to make it happen.

The Moms Making Time Society™ solves all that!!!

This community equips you with EVERYTHING you need to prioritize yourself and your passions so you (and your family!) can flourish.

Everything is intentionally curated around moms' ever-changing real life.

There's no pressure or falling behind, just powerful tools & gentle encouragement to help you minimize the distractions & excuses that have been keeping you stuck.
