EP 59: The 3 Lies Keeping Working Moms Burned Out (And the Self-Made Mom Solution) with Julia Sewell

What if the reason you're overwhelmed isn't because you need a better productivity hack—but because you've been believing the wrong story? In this episode of This Is How She Does It, Angela Lee sits down with coach, speaker, and author Julia Sewell to unpack the three biggest lies many millennial moms have been taught to believe: • I don't have time. • If I ask for help, I'm needy. • My worth is determined by how productive I am. After experiencing burnout, resentment, and the pressure to do it all, Julia began redefining what it means to be a self-made woman: one who leads from confidence, intention, and joy rather than self-sacrifice. This conversation goes beyond awareness and into action, with practical tools to help working moms reclaim their worth, ask for support, and create success on their own terms. Key Takeaways: Build confidence from your values, not your accomplishments. Learn how to ask for support before reaching burnout. Recognize resentment as valuable feedback, not failure. Create success that feels good, not just looks good. Make yourself a priority without guilt. If you've ever felt caught between your career, your family, and yourself, this episode is for you.
