Episode 62 - You're BURNT OUT not BROKEN! 2 things we need to do differently!

from The Pooch

We cannot self care our way out of a broken system… but we also cannot afford not to.In this episode, I unpack the viral idea that encouraging mums to practice self care is just a bandaid solution to motherhood in the patriarchy. I explore why burnout is not a personal failure, why so many women feel they lose their identity after becoming mothers, and how societal conditioning keeps mums stuck at the very bottom of their own hierarchy of needs.I share my honest thoughts on: – Why self care can feel like just another expectation – How productivity culture has hijacked the concept of self love – Why asking permission to meet your needs keeps you in survival mode – The power of stopping asking – The importance of intentionally dropping the ball – Why mums must come first in their own householdsThis is not about bubble baths. This is about autonomy. This is about reclaiming your nervous system, your identity, and your worth.If you have ever felt burnt out, invisible, resentful, or like you are shrinking inside motherhood, this episode is for you.You deserve to be number one. Not in a cute way. In a fundamental, biological, human needs way.Let the laundry sit. Go fill your cup. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
