Two mums, the same juggle from very different perspectives.
Podcast Insights
Content Themes
The podcast explores themes of motherhood, identity, and mental health, with specific episodes addressing mum guilt, postpartum identity loss, and the joys and challenges of different parenting styles. For example, Episode 2 delves into the complexities of grief associated with identity changes after childbirth, while Episode 3 discusses the nuances of mum guilt experienced in balancing work and family.
In this episode, we’re having a very real conversation about something so many parents are feeling…but not always talking about: Parental Burnout.
From losing motivation for things we once loved, to feeling constantly overstimulated, emotionally exhausted, and stuck in survival mode – this episode dives into the reality of trying to juggle careers, kids, relationships and the invisible mental load of motherhood.
- We chat about:
- What parental burnout actually feels like
- The pressure of trying to “do it all”
- The all-or-nothing cycle with health, fitness and food
- Why afternoons and evenings can feel so overwhelming
- The guilt that comes with needing time for yourself.
- Small, realistic things that are helping us cope.
This isn’t an episode about having all the answers. It’s an honest conversation for the parents who feel like they’re running on empty while still showing up every single day.
Because sometimes life looks less like thriving…and more like just surviving.
