Are We Thriving or Just Surviving? Honest Mom Life, Burnout & Wellness Check

Welcome back to Boundaries & Banter — the podcast where sisters-in-law Taryn & Michela get real about life, boundaries, relationships, and mental health.In this raw wellness check episode, we bring it back to basics and talk about where we’re really at. From constant exhaustion and surviving instead of thriving, to the nonstop cycle of sick kids, allergies, OIT appointments, work stress (especially as a litigator), financial pressure in California, beauty standards, postpartum recovery, digital detox, and the unrealistic expectations we all face as moms and working women.We also touch on gratitude, rewiring your brain, checking in on friends, radical acceptance of hard seasons, and why it’s okay to sit in negative emotions without immediately trying to “fix” them.If you’re feeling burned out, overwhelmed, or just need to hear that you’re not alone — this one’s for you.Timestamps:00:00 Welcome & Wellness Check01:30 Surviving vs Thriving as Moms04:45 Sick Kids, Allergies & OIT Life09:30 Attorney Burnout & Big Law Reality14:20 Financial Pressure & Cost of Living19:40 Beauty Standards, Ozempic & Unrealistic Expectations25:10 Digital Detox & Social Media Pressure30:30 Gratitude, Sitting in Hard Emotions & Checking on Friends36:20 Would You Rather SegmentDrop a comment: Are you currently thriving or just surviving?
