Yoga for Burned Out Moms: Small Practices That Make a Big Difference

Burned out moms are constantly told to take care of themselves....but what happens when you barely have time to shower, let alone do a 60 minute yoga class?In today's episode of Overcaffeinated and Out of Effs I sit down with yoga teacher and advocate, Jolanthe de Koning, to talk about what realistic self-care actually looks like during motherhood and how small intentional practices can make a huge difference in your mental and physical well-being.Jolanthe shares her personal experience with identity loss, postpartum depression, and anxiety and the overwhelming transition into motherhood after having a contact-napping baby who left little time for herself. She opens up about how reconnecting with yoga, even for just 20-30 minutes a day, became a turning point in helping her feel like herself again.Together we discuss:Why so many moms are stuck in constant fight-or-flight modeWhat nervous system regulation actually meansHow yoga can support anxiety, stress, burnout and emotional overwhelm The problem with unrealistic self-care expectations for momsWhy gentle movement can sometimes be more healing than intense workoutsCommon yoga myths that keep overwhelmed moms from feeling intimidatedSimple, realistic ways moms can support their mental health in just a few minutes a dayIf you've been feeling emotionally exhausted, overstimulated or disconnected from yourself, this episode will remind you hat healing doesn't have to be perfect, complicated or time-consuming. Small practices really can make a big difference.Find Jolanthe at:Website: www.amidthemess.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jolanthe_de_koning/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jolanthe-de-koning-phd-2a53733a/Discount Code: outofeffsWhat it gets you: 50% off the All Class Pass membership for 3 months.
