55. Wake Up Exhausted, Go to Bed Exhausted, Repeat — You're Not Failing, The System Is

Description: Last week I screamed at my daughter while trying to build my business. She looked at me with her perfect little face and said "I don't understand why you're being so mean. I'm not talking to you in a mean way." It broke my fucking heart.Here I am telling you to regulate your nervous system, and I'm not always living up to my own words. And it's HARD.After I apologized (and she said "It's okay Mommy, I love you forever"), I did all the things. Homework. Dinner. Sports drop-off and pick-up. Then I sat in my car in the driveway for 10 minutes. Too tired to move. Too overwhelmed to think.And I thought: this is my life, every single day, on repeat. Wake up exhausted. Rush through the morning. Work. Feel guilty I'm not doing enough. Go to bed exhausted. Do it all again tomorrow.For a second I thought "maybe I'm just not cut out for this. Maybe other moms have it figured out and I'm just failing."But that's EXACTLY what they want you to think. That YOU'RE the problem. That you're not organized enough, disciplined enough, strong enough.But you're not the problem. The system is the problem.In this episode I break down how the system is designed to keep moms exhausted and dysregulated (childcare costs = your paycheck, no maternity leave, healthcare tied to jobs, school ends at 2:30, PTO is a joke, sports run you ragged). I talk about how your unhealed wounds (like fawning) sabotage your business, why you can't build from survival mode, how to regulate WHILE building, why digital products are the answer, and how to break the cycle for your kids.You're not failing. The system is rigged. But you can fight back anyway.Your kids are watching. Show them what's possible.Explore All of Lauren’s Freebies and Coaching OffersConnect with Lauren:Instagram: @wealthymamamethodEmail: [email protected]
