Working Mom Burnout and Always-On Work Culture: Why Women Are Reaching a Breaking Point.

Send us Fan MailWorking mom burnout is often framed as a personal issue, but what if the real problem is the workplace itself? In today’s culture, the expectation to always be available has created an environment where work never fully turns off, leading to chronic stress, burnout, and disconnection.In Part 2 of this conversation, Dr. Supatra Tovar continues her discussion with Alexa Starks, founder of Executive Moms, to explore the deeper systemic drivers of burnout in working mothers and high-performing women. From constant digital availability to unrealistic workplace expectations, this episode breaks down how modern work culture is contributing to mental health challenges and unsustainable pressure.Alexa shares what she sees behind the scenes with leaders and organizations, including how lack of trust, poor management, and authoritarian leadership styles create toxic work environments. We also explore the concept of psychological safety, why compassion is a critical leadership skill, and how supportive workplaces lead to stronger performance, retention, and long-term success.You’ll also hear practical guidance for navigating maternity leave, returning to work, and advocating for yourself in environments that may not naturally offer support. If you’ve ever felt like you have to choose between your career and your well-being, this conversation offers a more realistic and sustainable path forward.Subscribe for more conversations on psychology, health, and building a healthier relationship with work and life.🔗 Connect with Alexa StarksWebsite: https://www.executivemoms.co/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexastarksInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/alexa.starks?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==Continue Your Journey 📘 Book: Deprogram Diet CultureGet your copy on Amazon: https://a.co/d/5IRab6oLearn more: https://www.anew-insight.com/book🎓 Course: Deprogram Diet Culturehttps://www.anew-insight.com/course🌐 Visit the Websitehttps://www.anew-insight.com🎥 Watch More Episodeshttps://www.youtube.com/@my.anew.insight🎤 See My TEDx Talkhttp://bit.ly/3NVR00WKEYWORDSworking mom burnout, working mom burnout solutions, leadership stress women, always on work culture, toxic work culture, workplace burnout causes, how to create psychological safety at work, work life balance for moms, setting boundaries at work, leadership for women, burnout in corporate women, managing career and family, work stress and burnout, women leadership development, emotional load working mothers, returning to work after maternity leave, maternity leave transition work, workplace mental health, burnout recovery strategies, healthy workplace culture, why employees don’t speak up at workHashtags#workingmomburnout #leadershipstress #workplaceculture #drsupatratovar #drsaito Support the showThank you for joining us on this journey to wellness.
