Speak, Mother | Motherhood Burnout Recovery & Identity Reclamation

Send Shannon A NoteYou've been taught to make yourself more digestible. More palatable. More acceptable. To lead with your credentials instead of your perspective. To deflect the praise for work you built and led. To wait until you're more ready, more qualified, more something.But here's what that performance is actually costing you.This week I'm talking about what happens when you strip away every external marker of success — the title, the income, the degrees — and sit with what's left. Because what's left? That's the magic. And it was always you.Work with Shannon:Book a "Magic Session" Strategy Session: tidycal.com/resonantcollective/the-magic-sessionBook a Podcast Strategy Session: tidycal.com/resonantcollective/podcasting-power-hourSpeak, Mother is hosted by Shannon Warner, founder of Resonant Collective offering podcast launch, maintenance, and strategy services for truth-telling women.Follow @ResonantCollective on IG: https://www.instagram.com/resonantcollective/Connect with Shannon on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/podcastwithshannon/

Send Shannon A NoteHave you ever evolved — genuinely grown, shifted, become someone new — but the external pieces haven't caught up yet? New you, old job. New you, a business model you've outgrown. New you, relationships that feel a little tight now.That gap between who you're becoming and where you currently are is disorienting. And nobody talks about it honestly enough.This week I'm sitting in that middle place with you — and asking the question my therapist asked me that I haven't been able to stop thinking about: what is this costing you?Work with Shannon: Strategy Sessions → https://tidycal.com/resonantcollective/podcasting-power-hourSpeak, Mother is hosted by Shannon Warner, founder of Resonant Collective offering podcast launch, maintenance, and strategy services for truth-telling women.Follow @ResonantCollective on IG: https://www.instagram.com/resonantcollective/Connect with Shannon on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/podcastwithshannon/

Send Shannon A NoteMay has the same chaotic energy as December and we're not talking about it enough.The recitals. The field trips. The volunteer asks. The party you forgot to RSVP to. And somewhere underneath all of it: something of your own you're trying to protect.This week I'm talking about how I'm actually navigating this season without losing my mind or my vision.

Send Shannon A NoteCrystal is 38, single, living in Southern France, and in the middle of her IVF journey. By choice and on her own terms. And she is so clear and so at peace with this decision it will make you question every time you've waited on someone else's timeline.We talk about the breakup that started it all, 13 years of undiagnosed endometriosis, what French healthcare made possible that American healthcare never could, and why she's done outsourcing the thing she wants most in the world to someone else's emotional readiness.We also get into woo, witchcraft, the suppression of the feminine, and why the village that used to raise our children has disappeared and what it's costing us.Connect with Crystal: To follow Crystal's motherhood journey, find her on Substack at thehonestsexologist.substack.com.Instagram: instagram.com/thehonestsexologistWebsite: YourBodyYourStory.comHer Podcast, 50 Shades of Grey's: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/50-shades-of-greys/id1887869123Referenced in this Episode:Episode 10 Emily's IVF Journey: buzzsprout.com/2224026/episodes/15068019Episode 88 What Happens When a Mom Quits Her Toxic Job With No Plan | Kimberly Scanlon: buzzsprout.com/2224026/episodes/19087379All About Love by Bell Hooks: https://amzn.to/49qkmvOWork with Shannon: Podcast Strategy Sessions → https://tidycal.com/resonantcollective/podcasting-power-hourSpeak, Mother is hosted by Shannon Warner, founder of Resonant Collective offering podcast launch, maintenance, and strategy services for truth-telling women.Follow @ResonantCollective on IG: https://www.instagram.com/resonantcollective/Connect with Shannon on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/podcastwithshannon/

Send Shannon A NoteYou'll have a good day. Feel proud, capable, like yourself. And then something will happen. A number on a screen, a bill, a reminder of the reality you're living in. And just like that, the good feeling collapses.This week I'm not pretending I have it figured out. I'm telling you what it actually looks like from inside of it: the whiplash, the spiral, and the small unglamorous things that pull me back from the edge.Including the thing my therapist helped me realize that I keep coming back to: I have a 100% track record of surviving my worst days. And so do you.This one is for the mother holding hope and despair in both hands right now. You're not alone.

Send Shannon A NoteWhat do you do when your job is making you miserable, your gut is screaming, and you have no backup plan?If you're Kimberly Scanlon, you quit. You take six months off to recover your nervous system. And then you take a part time job at a hair salon and you don't look back.This week I'm sitting down with my friend and Minnesota mom of two Kimberly Scanlon, a storyteller and micro consultant with a background in mental health. We talk about what it actually looks like to walk away from a career that no longer fits, how to redefine success on your own terms, and why doing it differently might be the most aligned thing you ever do.This one is for the mom who is quietly wondering if there's another way.Connect with Kimberly: Instagram: instagram.com/meaningful.mamaLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/kimberlyascanlon1982Help me build the Speak, Mother Summer Series.

Send Shannon A NoteDrop me a note and tell me what you're reclaiming. You may notice something different about this episode. It's dropping as Episode 86, not Episode 15.  That's not a mistake.When I relaunched Speak, Mother earlier this year I reset the episode count to one. But the more I sat with it, the more wrong it felt, because I didn't start over. I evolved. And the 70+ episodes behind this version of the show deserved to be counted.This episode is my story: the teaching career, the operations job, the layoff, the grief, the postpartum fog, and the breadcrumbs that led me exactly here. And it's an invitation for you to look at your own path and ask: what have you been tempted to erase that actually counts?Your pivot counts. Your pause counts.

Send Shannon A NoteSadness isn't one of the seven deadly sins, so why does it get its own chapter in On Our Best Behavior? Because the same culture that turned human impulses into moral failures has spent centuries teaching us that grief is an inconvenience. That there's a timeline for falling apart, and you're already past it.This week, we're exploring what it actually costs us to rush through grief — our own and everyone else's. From the losses that come with casseroles to the ones nobody names, this conversation makes space for sadness of every size and depth.We also talk about why women so often end up metabolizing the feelings of everyone around them, what ambiguous loss actually is, and why grief isn't something you move on from — it's something you move forward with.Your sadness is not a character defect. It's proof that something mattered.Book mentioned: On Our Best Behavior: The Seven Deadly Sins and the Price Women Pay to Be Good by Elise Loehnen.

Send Shannon A NoteWhat happens when women get angry? We get called shrews, bitches, hags. We're labeled unstable, dangerous, dramatic. Meanwhile, men's anger gets results, respect, and recognition.This week, we're exploring why women have been taught that anger is unfeminine and dangerous, and what it's costing us. From the physical health consequences of suppressed rage to the way we teach girls to turn their anger underground, this conversation examines why reclaiming our relationship with anger might be the most important work we can do.We dive into anger as information about unmet needs, why "niceness" is literally making us sick, and how our fury might actually be pointing us toward our deepest values. If you've been feeling angry but don't know what to do about it, this episode is for you.Book mentioned: On Our Best Behavior: The Seven Deadly Sins and the Price Women Pay to Be Good by Elise Loehnen.

Send Shannon A NoteWhat happens when wanting things feels dangerous? When pleasure feels selfish? When you've been taught to be the object of desire, never the subject with desires of your own?This week, we're diving into Lust, and it's not what you think. This is about the full spectrum of desire: wanting experiences, growth, pleasure, and joy. It's about how women have been conditioned to deny our own needs, disconnect from our bodies, and apologize for taking up space with our wants.From the shame around sexuality to the guilt about wanting anything beyond survival as mothers—this episode explores why reclaiming our desires isn't selfish, it's essential. Because when we show up as whole, desiring, embodied humans, we give permission for everyone around us to do the same.If you've ever felt guilty for wanting more, this conversation is for you.This episode is part of a multi-part exploration inspired by the work of On Our Best Behavior by Elise Loehnen.

Send Shannon A NoteWhat if the way we talk about each other's bodies is actually making things worse? What if diet culture's grip on women is stronger than we realized? And what if the solution isn't another set of food rules, but joy?This week, I'm joined by registered dietitian Hannah Koschak for a deep dive into the gluttony chapter of On Our Best Behavior. We explore why women struggle with food and body image, how weight stigma shows up in everyday compliments, and what it really takes to build a healthy relationship with eating.Hannah brings years of clinical experience and a passion for fighting diet culture. This conversation goes beyond food rules to examine the subconscious patterns, the all-or-nothing mentality, and the joy deficit that keeps so many women stuck in cycles of shame and restriction.If you've ever felt guilty about food, struggled with body image, or wondered how to model something healthier for your kids, this episode is for you.Connect with Hannah:Hannah's Previous Episode: Beyond the Scale: Ditching Diet Culture and Finding Self-WorthCommunity: Wholesome CollectiveInstagram @WholesomeEndeavorsYouTube Series: Healthy Table TalksMentioned in this episode:On Our Best Behavior by Elise LoehnenThis episode is part of a multi-part exploration inspired by the work of On Our Best Behavior by Elise Loehnen.

Send Shannon A NoteDo you ever undersell yourself because asking for more feels "greedy"?Do you ever apologize when quoting your rates? Do you ever think you should just be grateful for what you have instead of advocating for what you're worth?You're not alone. And it's not about the money. It's about the stories we've been told about what we deserve.This week, we're exploring why women have such a complicated relationship with money, wealth, and asking for what we're worth. We dive into the difference between worth and value, how our conditioning around money shows up in everything from salary negotiations to pricing our services, and what it looks like to build a healthier relationship with financial security.Wanting financial stability isn't greedy. Asking for your value isn't selfish. And building wealth can actually be an act of service to your family, your community, and the causes you care about.This episode is part of a multi-part exploration inspired by the work of On Our Best Behavior by Elise Loehnen.

Send Shannon A NoteWhat happens when a woman is proud of herself? When she celebrates her wins without apologizing?If you've been conditioned to believe that pride is dangerous, that being "too much" will cost you friends, safety, or likability, this episode is for you.This week, we're diving into why women have been taught to shrink, stay humble, and never claim their gifts. We explore what we're teaching our daughters when we downplay our own abilities and why it feels safer to be underestimated than celebrated.Your playing small serves no one.

Send Shannon A NoteEnvy is one of those things we’re not supposed to talk about, especially as mothers. But what if it’s not something to fix or suppress, but rather to examine?In this episode, Shannon explores envy as a signal rather than a flaw. The moments where other women irritate us, trigger us, or make us uncomfortable often point to desires we’ve learned to ignore, downplay, or explain away.We talk about comparison, judgment, generational conditioning, and the quiet ways women are taught to stay small, and what becomes possible when we get honest about what we actually want.This isn’t a call to self-improvement or confidence-building.It’s merely an invitation to notice what stirs, without rushing to make meaning of it.This episode is part of a multi-part exploration inspired by the work of On Our Best Behavior by Elise Loehnen.

Send Shannon A NoteBefore we talk about rest, we have to name why it feels so loaded in the first place.In this episode, Shannon explores the concept of sloth, not as laziness, but as something that became morally charged over time and why so many mothers feel caught between exhaustion and guilt. She reflects on overfunctioning as protection, the pressure to earn rest, and the often unspoken belief that worth is tied to output.This is an invitation to notice the rules we absorbed without realizing it and how they live in our bodies, our nervous systems, and our relationships.This episode is part of a multi-part exploration inspired by the work of On Our Best Behavior by Elise Loehnen.

Send Shannon A NoteBefore we talk about fixing motherhood, we have to name the system we inherited. In this conversation, Shannon explores patriarchy as inheritance rather than ideology, why “being good” became the organizing principle for so many women’s lives, and how motherhood makes these patterns impossible to ignore.This is not a book report or a call to self-improvement. It’s an invitation to notice what we’ve been handed, what it’s cost us, and what might be ready to change.You don’t need to have read On Our Best Behavior by Elise Loehnen to listen.

Send Shannon A NoteIn this episode, Shannon sits down with Stephanie Patton Jones, an inspiring artist, military spouse, and mom who took the leap from a corporate career to following her passion for painting. Stephanie shares her journey of self-discovery through the challenges of solo parenting during her husband’s deployment, balancing her art business with motherhood, and building a supportive community of fellow military spouses. With an unwavering belief in pursuing passions, she offers advice on embracing creativity, seeking help, and showing our kids that we can do what we love. Join us as Stephanie reminds us of the beauty in following your calling—even when it means redefining your path as a mom.About Stephanie:"After years of working in corporate America I was burnt out and grumpy. My husband was deployed, and I needed an outlet that could help me release the stress of solo parenting while he was gone - so I picked up my brushes again.After not having painted in over four years paintings just kept pouring out of me. I quickly realized this was something I finally needed to pursue full time. Little me would be so happy to know I finally followed my dream of being a full-time working artist. You'll often find me in my home studio with my three critters (Sweet Pea our little black kitty, Roxy the Doxy and Teeny my toddler). If you are interested in adding a touch of nature's beauty to your home or office, I invite you to explore my collection of original paintings or prints. Each artwork is meticulously crafted with attention to detail and a commitment to quality. From serene marshes to majestic mountains, there is a piece that will resonate with your personal aesthetic."Connect with Stephanie:On Instagram @SPJonesStudioOn TiktokOn PinterestSPJonesStudio.comReferenced in this Episode:Night Catch by Brenda Ehrmantraut Speak, Mother is hosted by Shannon Warner, founder of Resonant Collective offering podcast launch, maintenance, and strategy services for truth-telling women.Follow @ResonantCollective on IG: https://www.instagram.com/resonantcollective/Connect with Shannon on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/podcastwithshannon/

Send Shannon A NoteThis week, Bianca Sprague joins us for a powerful conversation about motherhood that will challenge your perspective. Bianca shares the transformative journey of her early days of motherhood through undiagnosed postpartum depression in an unsafe domestic setting. Bianca candidly reflects on her initial struggles to bond with her daughter amidst feelings of rage and shame. We explore the raw emotions of early motherhood, the pressure to be a "good mom," and the societal structures that leave mothers feeling unsupported and unseen. We delve into Bianca's pivotal decision to pursue doula training as a means of protecting birth and finding the support she lacked. Through her work in reproductive health and justice, Bianca has found her purpose and created a global reproductive health movement spanning 49 countries. We also explore the distinction between the work of motherhood and the relationship of motherhood, as well as the unique challenges faced by queer parents. Bianca's insights urge us to foster understanding as “We can get way more done in our sameness.” Bianca also shares actionable tips for busy moms to find community and rediscover their identities beyond motherhood. Get ready to be inspired and reminded that you're not alone in this journey.About Bianca:Bianca Sprague is a passionate educator and advocate in the doula community, focusing her expertise on supporting women and queer individuals in the fields of fertility, birth, and postpartum care. As a self- identified ‘super lesbian’ and a dedicated mother, Bianca brings a unique perspective to her work, emphasizing the importance of balancing professional doula responsibilities with personal life, especially for mothers. She is deeply committed to addressing issues like queer care, combating fatphobia in medicine, and exploring women’s rage and its implications. Bianca’s journey into this field was born from personal challenges; as a new parent grappling with postpartum depression and limited support and resources, she turned to doula training to transform her life. This path led her to create bebo mia, a response to the gap she experienced in her initial training and lacked massive amounts of critical content as well as practical business guidance for doulas. Bianca’s mission extends beyond doula care to teaching effective service business management, encompassing community building, client care, and efficient systems for working parents in the healthcare sector.Connect w/ Bianca:bebomia.com/moment  Code: MOMENT15On Instagram @BeboMiaIncOn Facebook /bebomiaincSpeak, Mother is hosted by Shannon Warner, founder of Resonant Collective offering podcast launch, maintenance, and strategy services for truth-telling women.Follow @ResonantCollective on IG: https://www.instagram.com/resonantcollective/Connect with Shannon on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/podcastwithshannon/

Reflecting on my move from Michigan to North Carolina for a teaching job and later transitioning into the private sector, I share the challenges of balancing career ambitions with the demands of motherhood.The birth of my first daughter, Emerson, was a turning point that revealed the harsh reality of postpartum struggles and the lack of support for new mothers. Battling postpartum depression in silence, I highlight the importance of destigmatizing mental health challenges in motherhood.As life threw unexpected curveballs, including the return of my father's cancer and his subsequent passing, I found myself reassessing priorities and seeking empowerment. This led to pivotal decisions, including leaving my job and embracing new opportunities for growth and fulfillment.I recount the surreal moment when I was laid off from my job, a catalyst for embracing change and launching the "Having a Mom Moment" podcast. Through it all, I've learned to trust my journey, find strength in vulnerability, and empower other women to thrive amidst life's challenges.Join me as I share the raw, unfiltered story of my journey, offering insights, inspiration, and a glimpse into the transformative power of embracing one's own narrative.
