Why “You Got This, Mama” Is Burning Women Out and What We Actually Need Instead

“You got this, mama.” It sounds supportive -  but for so many women, it actually lands as isolating, silencing, and deeply abandoning. In this solo episode of Unapologetically Yours, Ashley Logan unpacks why the “you got this, mama” culture makes her furious, and how it quietly trains women to carry everything alone while disappearing from their own lives.Ashley speaks candidly about motherhood, burnout, creativity, nervous system regulation, boundaries, and the slow, courageous work of coming home to yourself. She shares personal stories from early motherhood, the moment she realized she had stopped singing to her children, and how reclaiming her creative life became a turning point not just for her - but for her kids.In this episode, you’ll hear about: Why “you got this, mama” actually reinforces isolation and burnoutHow self-abandonment became normalized in modern motherhoodThe connection between creativity, embodiment, and being a present parentWhy modeling a full, alive life as a mom matters more than doing everything “right”Simple ways to reconnect with your body, desires, and truth… and so much more!  A note from Ashley:This episode came from a deep frustration with how pressure gets disguised as encouragement. How often women are told “you got this” when what they actually need is support. I keep noticing how much loneliness lives inside that expectation, and how much we lose when we stop asking for help and start carrying everything alone. My hope is that this episode helps you question where pressure has replaced care in your life, and reminds you that strength does not come from doing it all yourself, but from letting yourself be held. Connect with Ashley:Instagram @ashleydloganWebsite https://ashleylogan.com/ Have a topic or guest you’d love to see featured on the Unapologetically Yours podcast?
