Emotional Support Moms & The Beautiful Chaos of Motherhood

Motherhood has been the most beautiful thing I’ve ever experienced… and also one of the hardest.In this episode, I’m joined by one of my own “emotional support moms,” Ashley Brinkman, for an honest conversation about what motherhood can feel like when our nervous systems are stretched thin. We talk about overstimulation, overwhelm, mom guilt, the pressure to get it right, and those moments where we wonder if we’re the only ones struggling.Together we explore what’s actually happening in our bodies when motherhood feels like too much, how our nervous systems stay activated, and the small ways we try to care for ourselves and repair when we hit our limits.We also talk about perfectionism, identity shifts, letting go of old expectations, and how deeply we need other women as we move through motherhood.If you’ve ever felt touched out, overstimulated, disconnected, or simply exhausted by the beautiful chaos of motherhood, this conversation is for you.You are not alone in this. And you were never meant to do it alone.
