44. How to Stop Feeling Burnt Out and Behind as a Parent with Dr. Colleen Horn

Why You Feel So Overwhelmed as a New Mom, and What to Do About It Stuck in the cycle of guilt, burnout, and resentment, and no one's talking about it? You're not alone. In this episode, we break the silence and get real about what new motherhood actually feels like, and how to reclaim your calm one breath (and boundary) at a time. Because "Happy Mom, Happy Baby" Doesn't Help When You're Drowning If you've ever silently screamed, "Why do I have to do it all?", this episode is for you. I'm joined by Dr. Colleen Horn, a pediatric chiropractor and fierce advocate for moms navigating pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond.

This conversation is an invitation to pause, breathe, and remind yourself: you don't need fixing—you need support, tools, and a little bit of truth. Whether you're holding a newborn, balancing toddlers, or reflecting on your own postpartum experience years later, this episode will meet you exactly where you are—with zero judgment and a whole lot of compassion.
