The Quarterly Crash: This One's for the Women Who Hold Everything Together Until They Can't

What happens when you come off a vacation high, try to pull off a birthday sleepover for six eight-year-olds, and then somehow completely fail at Father's Day? You hit your "quarterly crash".In this incredibly candid episode, Michelle sits down to process what burnout actually looks like when it sneaks up on a high achiever who has been doing all the "right things". She realizes that a lack of her usual over-planning is exactly what led to the weekend's chaos—from losing it at Ben over an iPad ranking, to floating stiffly at the pool instead of doing a cannonball. It all culminated in a Tuesday afternoon when she canceled her plans, closed the blinds, put on Scarlet's sleep mask, and slept for two hours in the middle of the week. Oh, and Josh came home with a cherry blossom tree because he didn't know what else to do to help.Timestamps: 00:00 Post Father's Day and Already Apologizing 03:14 Swimming Was Not the Plan 06:28 The iPad Incident 09:42 Why I Think It All Went Wrong 12:17 Lack of Control Is My Kryptonite 15:33 The Quarterly Crash Nobody Saw Coming 19:48 Josh Bought a Cherry Blossom Tree 22:06 Permission to Crash Before Summer StartsIf you held it all together this school year and you're starting to feel the cracks, share this with a friend who needs permission to close the blinds and sleep—burnout doesn't care how many supplements you're taking.And if you want to stay connected, you can find me on social media and on my website via the links below.
