Hey Team! Today I'm joined by Alex Bellitter, Senior Manager of Coaching at Shimmer, an ADHD coaching platform that's guided over 75,000 sessions. If this sounds a bit familiar, I also did an interview with Shimmer's CEO, Chris Wang, last year - but of course in this episode, we're covering a lot more and while Shimmer is mentioned it certainly isn't the focus of what we're talking about here. But back to who we're talking with today. Alex holds a Master's in Psychology and is a National Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach. She's passionate about building a neuroinclusive approach to coaching and helping people redefine what success looks like for their unique brains. We get into what burnout really looks like for ADHD brains and how the “grind it out” mindset backfires every time. Alex shares how resilience isn't about powering through and we also unpack the ideas of capacity, how we burn through future energy, and why rest, play, and flexibility are actually key parts of productivity. Plus, we get into ADHD inertia, smart scaffolding, and that tricky process of rediscovering your strengths when your brain insists you don't have any.

But leaving unscheduled blocks gives us breathing room and time for the unexpected. This means it's important that we're making sure keep at least some white space on our calendars. We can fall into the trap of treating rest like a reward for finishing everything, but rest is part of the system that keeps us going. Taking time to rest isn't laziness; it's maintenance that we sorely need. External structure, such as reminders, alarms, notes, and accountability partners, can often help ADHD brains thrive, but a lot of us carry shame around using these supports. We're not “cheating” the system by building one that works for us. These scaffoldings allow us to grow stronger over time without collapsing under pressure by giving us the support we need.
Burnout has become the quiet epidemic of modern work. We tell people to “set better boundaries” or “take more time off,” but the real problem isn't a lack of self-care—it's that most organizations are designed to exhaust their people. Fear-based cultures, unclear priorities, and performative busyness have turned overwork into a badge of honor, leaving even the most capable teams running on fumes. In this episode, Rodney and Sam unpack the systemic roots of burnout and why it thrives inside traditional hierarchies. They explore how teams accidentally reinforce it, how leaders unknowingly reward it, and share real steps to change the system instead of blaming individuals. -------------------------------- Ready to change your organization?

In this Monday Moment, we slow down and get real. Together, we explore what it truly means to make it not just in business, but in life.I open up about a recent health scare that shook my perspective. It reminded me (and maybe it will remind you too) that success isn't just about grinding 24/7 or chasing the next win. It's about showing up fully for the people we love.We talk about what it means to be a great father, husband, friend… and how easy it is to lose sight of that in the hustle. I share how I'm setting personal boundaries, carving out time for family, and redefining success on my terms so you can do the same.Let's challenge grind culture together. Let's build a life that feels good on the inside, not just one that looks good on the outside.

Use Code REAL50 There's a moment many women in midlife recognize, when the reflection in the mirror feels slightly unfamiliar, when the pace of life feels impossible, and when joy feels like something that belongs to another version of you! Between shifting hormones, growing kids, aging parents, and endless to-do lists, even the most put-together woman can start to feel stretched thin and unseen. In this episode of The Skin Real Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Tiffany Moon, anesthesiologist, mom, entrepreneur, and author of Joy Prescriptions, to talk about what it really takes to find yourself again when life feels like too much. Dr. Moon opens up about the “midlife lull” so many women face, the collision of career, caregiving, and perimenopause, and how she's learned to reclaim joy and authenticity in the process. From being labeled “unprofessional” for dancing on social media to hosting her own women's leadership summit, Dr. Moon reminds us that joy isn't something we earn after success; it's something we choose every day, even in chaos. Together, she and Dr. Mina share a refreshingly honest and affirming conversation about aging, self-image, and letting go of the pressure to be everything to everyone. Key Takeaways: ✓ Midlife isn't a crisis, it's a turning point. ✓ The joy you're looking for is already within reach. ✓ Perimenopause changes more than your skin. It shifts how you see yourself. ✓ Boundaries protect your peace and your purpose. ✓ Confidence grows when you stop performing and start being real. ✓ Your personal brand is your story, not your status. ✓ Letting go of perfection makes space for peace. If you've been feeling off balance or worn thin, this episode will remind you that you're not alone and that you don't need to have it all figured out to feel like yourself again.

Ask Me How I Know: Multifamily Investor Stories of Struggle to Success

This episode of The Recalibration brings sacred reassurance that delay isn't denial—it's development.Through the stories of Abraham and David, Julie Holly explores how divine timing refines identity long before it reveals results. These two figures—chosen early, formed slowly, fulfilled fully—embody what Julie calls Faithful Becoming: the slow, sacred process where character catches up to calling.You'll learn how Identity-Level Recalibration (ILR) helps your nervous system interpret divine delay as formation, not failure. When your identity is secure, you stop panicking in the pause. You start partnering with the process.Drawing on both neuroscience and Scripture, Julie shows that what feels like stagnation may actually be spiritual preservation. Waiting is not wasted—it's the Sovereign's way of fortifying your faith, refining discernment, and preparing you to hold what's next without losing yourself in the noise.In this episode:Why divine delay protects your purposeHow to rebuild self-trust after missteps or disappointmentThe hidden work of waiting: nervous system recalibration and faith formationThe difference between stillness and stagnationWhy willingness matters more than perfectionThis isn't mindset work or performance management.

Burnout recovery starts with slowing down. In this episode, Julie Holly reveals why stillness isn't weakness — it's strategy. Through Identity-Level Recalibration, learn to rest without fear, trust divine timing, and let peace lead your progress.For many high-capacity humans, rest feels like a threat. After years of achievement, the moment things quiet down, the mind panics — “Am I falling behind?” In this powerful episode of The Recalibration, Julie Holly explores the truth that burnout recovery and lasting clarity come not from speed, but from stillness.Drawing from the incubation effect — the neuroscience principle that insight surfaces when the mind rests — Julie explains why your brain can't access creativity when your nervous system is in survival mode. Through Identity-Level Recalibration (ILR), she shows how to rewire your biology to interpret rest as safety, not failure.You'll also hear from music producer Rick Rubin, whose creative genius is rooted in radical stillness and subtraction. His process illustrates a vital truth: You don't need to add more to become more — you need to become true.Whether you're navigating burnout recovery, decision fatigue, or spiritual exhaustion, this episode offers an identity-rooted invitation to step off the hamster wheel of performance and into peace that produces clarity.Julie weaves together neuroscience, psychology, and faith — reminding you that stillness isn't stagnation; it's sacred strategy. Because when your identity is anchored in who you are, not what you do, you stop striving for momentum and start living from peace.Micro Recalibration:

Know Where It Came From - “You can't heal what you won't face.”What early experiences shaped how I define success or self-worth?Where in my childhood or past did I learn that being perfect was necessary for love, safety, or approval?2. Embrace Imperfection as Part of Growth - “Mistakes are not detours — they're data.”When have I grown the most from something that didn't go as planned?What would change in my business if I saw imperfection as progress?3. Set Realistic Standards - “Perfection is not the goal. Progress is.”Where am I holding myself to impossible or unsustainable expectations?What does ‘good enough to launch' actually look like in this season?4. Prioritize Action Over Perfection - “Waiting for perfect is just a form of hiding.”What decision or project am I avoiding by telling myself ‘it's not ready yet'?What's the smallest action I could take today that moves it forward?5. Delegate with Trust, Not Control - “Trying to do everything yourself is a fast track to burnout.”Where in my business am I still trying to control outcomes because I don't trust others?What task could I delegate this week that would give me breathing room?6. Challenge Self-Criticism - “Your inner critic is not the truth — it's just a habit.”What are some common phrases I say to myself when I feel behind, messy, or ‘not enough'?What would I say to a close friend in that same situation — and how can I say that to myself now?7. Recognize the Cost of Perfectionism - “If perfection is your standard, joy will always be out of reach.”What has chasing perfection actually cost me in energy, time, or peace?What could I gain — emotionally, financially, relationally — if I let perfectionism go?8. Celebrate Progress - “Success is made of stacked micro-wins.”What wins (big or small) have I skipped over this week without celebrating?What would it feel like to pause and fully receive them?9.

Burnout recovery often begins when everything falls apart. This episode reframes collapse as alignment — showing why endings aren't evidence of failure, but invitations to rebuild from identity, not fear. For high-capacity humans ready to realign at the root.When life or leadership starts to crumble, most high-capacity humans interpret it as failure. But what if the collapse isn't punishment — it's permission?In this episode of The Recalibration, Julie Holly unpacks the hidden psychology behind collapse, drawing from neuroscience, faith, and the ILR pathway to show how breakdown often signals that external success has outpaced internal alignment.You'll discover how identity drift (when achievement races ahead of self-concept) creates internal dissonance that the nervous system can no longer sustain. Through the lens of Identity-Level Recalibration — the psychology-backed, faith-rooted pathway that realigns biology, behavior, and belief — Julie reframes collapse as the body's and the Spirit's built-in restoration system.Howard Schultz's story of rebuilding Starbucks after overexpansion illustrates how losing your way can lead to rediscovering your soul. Just like Schultz, many leaders don't need a reinvention — they need a return.You'll learn:Why collapse is often the nervous system's way of restoring truth.How ILR closes the gap between who you've become and who you're pretending to be.The difference between breakdown and realignment — and how to tell which one you're in.Why divine architecture often requires demolition before reconstruction.Through faith-forward insight and psychological depth, this episode helps you see endings differently — as sacred invitations to rebuild on truth.Micro Recalibration: Ask yourself, “What's collapsing that might actually be clearing space for clarity?” Then write this truth somewhere visible: “This isn't falling apart. It's falling into alignment.”This isn't therapy. This isn't coaching.

You know that feeling when you're trying to avoid burnout, but the very thought of “managing stress” feels like one more thing on your already maxed-out to-do list?Yeah—this one's for you.In this episode, we're cutting through the noise and getting real about what it actually takes to prevent burnout (without turning rest into another project). You'll learn five evidence-based, nervous-system-backed habits that help you move through stress, restore your energy, and protect your peace—without overhauling your entire life.You'll learn: ✔️ Why burnout isn't just about working too much—it's about living out of rhythm with how your nervous system was designed to function ✔️ Five simple, science-backed behaviors that regulate your body and mind (no, you don't need a morning routine that takes three hours) ✔️ How to recognize the signs your body is nearing burnout—and interrupt the cycle before it crashes you
The intensity of youth sports is increasing, and that's not debatable. Kids are playing more at younger ages - more practices, more tournaments, more games. More pressure to perform exists, and the expectations are higher than ever. As a result of these factors, the risk of burnout is also greater than ever. We've all heard the phrase "burnout," but what is it and what does it really look like? What are the factors that create burnout? What are the signs that my kid is experiencing it? And what steps can parents and coaches take to mitigate the risks of this happening? On this episode, the guys discuss the burnout issue in a comprehensive way, sharing from their personal experiences and from recent research It's easy to believe that burnout will never happen to your kid, but if you don't have a good understanding of the issues, you won't recognize it until it's too late.
Journey from Burnout to Transformation with Michael Shaw In this episode of the Breakfast Leadership Show, I sat down with Michael Shaw, a mindset coach who knows firsthand what it's like to climb the mountain of achievement, only to find emptiness at the summit. Michael's story is one of relentless drive—building and selling fitness businesses, excelling in competitions, and constantly chasing that next big win. Yet behind the accolades lived an undercurrent of anxiety and the haunting belief of never being enough. His breaking point came through emotional collapse, a moment that forced him to dismantle old belief systems and rebuild his life with clarity, resilience, and alignment. Overcoming Unfulfillment in Success Michael and I unpack the paradox of high achievers who look successful on the outside but feel unfulfilled within. He shared the story of a businesswoman who overcame financial struggles to hit impressive revenue milestones, only to realize tenacity without alignment doesn't guarantee joy. Burnout, as Michael reminds us, often stems from a misalignment between our actions, values, and identity. The cure isn't just time off—it's reconnecting with who we truly are. Understanding and Addressing Burnout We also explored Michael's personal encounter with burnout. Poor boundaries and unhealthy habits played a role, but the deeper issue was misalignment. Taking a vacation wasn't enough—it took honest reflection on his motivations and alignment with his current goals. Michael emphasizes that recovery requires slowing down, seeking feedback from trusted advisors, and courageously reassessing one's path. Identity Transformation Through Mindset Mastery Michael introduced his Mindset Mastery Method, which revolves around five pillars: revisiting trauma, awareness, rewiring beliefs, alignment, and activation. At the heart of this method is alignment—living in congruence with one's core values and chosen identity. He stressed the importance of crafting an “I AM Declaration,” a personal anchor that drives both growth and fulfillment. Career Transition and Belief Transformation Michael also reflected on his own career shifts—from accounting to marketing—choosing creativity and joy over routine. Through coaching, he helps clients identify and release limiting beliefs that weigh them down, replacing them with empowering ones that fuel breakthroughs. Leadership Alignment and Self-Realization We talked about leadership, self-doubt, and how misalignment trickles down into organizations. Michael cited T-Mobile's success under Mike Sievert as an example of how self-realized leaders fuel thriving companies. When leaders shift from surviving to thriving, the entire culture benefits. From Burnout to Aligned Leadership Michael views burnout not as a failure but as a portal to transformation. He generously offered listeners two free resources: his Fear to Freedom Formula and a complimentary 60-minute Mastery Mindset Breakthrough Session. Listeners can DM him the word FREEDOM on Instagram to access these tools. If you're a high achiever running on empty or a leader carrying the weight of misalignment, this conversation will inspire you to step into clarity, alignment, and authentic growth.

Ask Me How I Know: Multifamily Investor Stories of Struggle to Success
Burnout recovery isn't about doing less — it's about becoming whole. In this episode, discover why slowing down doesn't mean falling behind, and how repetition—not intensity—rewires your identity for peace that lasts.If you've been wondering why life feels slow when you've done “everything right,” this episode of The Recalibration is your reminder that becoming takes time.High-capacity humans often link momentum to meaning — but neuroscience tells a different story. Through the process of myelination, your brain strengthens through repetition, not intensity. Transformation that lasts is built through faithful practice, not frantic progress.In this episode, Julie Holly unpacks how Identity-Level Recalibration (ILR) helps you shift from adrenaline-driven achievement to anchored peace. You'll explore what happens when your nervous system learns that stillness isn't punishment — it's permission.Drawing from the story of Yvon Chouinard, founder of Patagonia, Julie illustrates how restraint and patience created a legacy of integrity. Chouinard's slow decisions built an ecosystem of impact, not just a brand — reminding us that speed builds empires, but patience builds foundations.You'll also learn how the faithful repetition of new identity patterns creates both neurological and spiritual stability — a kind of “soul myelination” that keeps you steady when the world speeds up.This isn't another productivity hack or mindset shift. It's The Recalibration — the root-level realignment that makes every other tool work again.Micro Recalibration: Ask yourself: “What area of my life needs faithful repetition more than fresh intensity?” Then write this truth where you'll see it daily:“I'm not behind — I'm being built through repetition.”Because becoming isn't fast — it's faithful.If this episode gave you language you've been missing, please rate and review the show so more high-capacity humans can find it.

Robert Glazer is a world-renowned CEO, bestselling author, and performance culture architect known for building multimillion-dollar companies without compromising values. As the creator of the viral Friday Forward series and an expert in leadership, Robert has helped millions elevate their mindset and develop disciplined, high-impact teams. His work centers on operationalizing genuine core values within organizations and empowering individuals to lead authentically, with clarity and purpose. In addition to his latest book "The Compass Within," he's influenced leaders and entrepreneurs to embrace growth, integrity, and actionable change in every aspect of their lives and businesses. Takeaways: Core values are only meaningful when they guide real behaviors and decisions—not just words on a wall or clever acronyms. True leadership operationalizes these values at every level of the organization. Personal and company values should be intrinsic, not aspirational. Leaders who understand and live by their authentic values make stronger decisions, inspire trust, and build happier, more resilient teams. Burnout comes from misalignment, not just overwork. High performers avoid burnout by aligning their daily activities and choices with their personal core values, focusing on the journey rather than just the destination. Sound Bites: “The behaviors you reward are ultimately the core values and the culture.” – Robert Glazer “You are going to lead from your core values whether you realize it or not.” – Robert Glazer “Hustle without strategy is just burnout.” – Mick Hunt Connect & Discover Robert: Website: https://robertglazer.com/ Podcast: The Elevate Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/robertglazer_/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/glazer/ Book: The Compass Within The Six Core Values Question page: https://robertglazer.com/six/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/RobertSGlazer

Most people start fitness strong and fall off. Mike Laird—coach, former director at a top global fitness company, cancer survivor, and mentor to six-figure trainers—breaks down why retention collapses and how to build systems that last. We get real about motivation vs. action, the “all-or-nothing” trap, social media noise, and the leadership skills that keep both clients and coaches engaged. If you lead a team, run a gym, or just want health that sticks, this conversation gives you a direct playbook for consistency, communication, and balance that works on the gym floor and in business. About the Guest : Mike Laird is an operations-minded health and business coach, lifelong athlete with a baseball background, and a family-first leader. He's helped dozens of trainers build sustainable six-figure practices and rebuilt his own life after a rare, life-threatening cancer—proving that discipline plus perspective beats hustle-and-burnout culture. Key Takeaways: Retention fails when we do “too much, too fast”; sustainable change needs a paced entry and clear steps. Action precedes motivation. Small, repeatable actions create the momentum most people wait for. The “all-or-nothing” narrative is a myth; fit the program around your life, not your life into a program. Social media “influencer” advice often causes paralysis by analysis; most of it isn't built for 99% of people. Trainers burn out when they're thrown in without development; business skills and people skills are trainable. Leaders who know their people—their goals, personality types, and communication styles—keep teams engaged longer. Relationship building and a nurtured lead book beat quick wins; systems matter more than streaks. Balance isn't a luxury; it's a retention strategy—for clients, coaches, and executives. Freedom after crisis looks like presence and priorities; loosen the calendar when it serves the mission. Stack good days. Consistency, not perfection, compounds in health, business, and life.

In this episode of Integrative You Radio, Dr. Nicole and Dr. Nick get brutally honest about the dark side of entrepreneurship, biohacking, and hormone therapy—especially testosterone replacement (TRT)—and how this “go, go, go” lifestyle can be a recipe for disaster when it comes to cardiovascular health, strokes, and overall well-being. Using personal stories, clinical experience, and a dose of tough love, they unpack the psychosomatic and physiological impacts of stress, synthetic hormones, and the relentless pursuit of success. The duo calls out the myths, highlights the risks, and reminds listeners that health is foundational—no amount of hacking or hormone patches will fix what's broken at the root. #EntrepreneurHealth #BiohackingTruth #TRTrisks #FoundationalHealth #IntegrativeMedicine #StressAndSuccess #CardiovascularHealth #HolisticEntrepreneur #WellnessPodcast #HormoneTherapy #HealthIsWealth #LimitlessLiving #IntegrativeYou #RealRawDisruptive 3 Key Takeaways: Entrepreneur Burnout + Biohacking = Health Crisis: The high-stress, hustle culture—especially when mixed with excessive caffeine, synthetic hormones (like TRT), and relentless biohacking—can thicken blood, constrict vessels, and set the stage for cardiovascular events like strokes or heart attacks. Chasing performance at the expense of foundational health is a ticking time bomb. Testosterone Isn't a Magic Bullet: Testosterone therapy, especially in the presence of toxins like mercury, can backfire—mobilizing heavy metals, impairing intellect, and disrupting the body's natural hormone production. Hormones are always an effect, not the root cause. Foundational health and detoxification come first. Self-Love & Authentic Alignment Matter: True health isn't about serving your ego or chasing someone else's definition of success. When you're out of alignment—serving “injected values” or running on desperation instead of inspiration—your body will let you know through symptoms, burnout, and breakdowns. Define your own version of success and build a business (and life) that actually serves you and your family. Quotes: “If you're trying to hack yourself so you can work fucking 24 hours a day, seven days a week, run 75 companies—that's not the point. You want to hack yourself for more mental clarity, not to dig yourself an early grave.” “Hormones are always, always, always an effect. They're never the root cause.

In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Raquel Gomes discuss:The importance of setting boundaries and saying no to maintain focus and balanceOvercoming perfectionism and developing trust through delegation and leadershipBuilding sustainable business systems that support both growth and personal well-beingThe mindset shift required to transition from burnout to passion-driven entrepreneurship Key Takeaways:By performing a detailed time audit and identifying tasks that don't align with your priorities, you can reclaim control of your schedule, eliminate low-value work, and create space for what truly drives personal and professional growth.Effective delegation depends on replacing micromanagement with structured onboarding, clear expectations, and consistent communication so your team feels empowered and capable while you stay focused on leadership and strategy.Long-term business success requires building systems and processes that allow your company to operate smoothly even in your absence, ensuring both stability and the freedom to take restorative time away without anxiety or burnout.The decision to leave corporate life before feeling fully ready underscores the importance of self-trust — embracing uncertainty and believing in your own capability can lead to transformation, purpose, and sustainable fulfillment.

Together, they led a new peer-reviewed study of CMDA members published in the journal, Religions 2025, that revealed something striking: Christian healthcare professionals reported significantly lower burnout than the broader healthcare population, and three factors tended to rise and fall together in those who were thriving: belonging, calling, and virtue. Through practical insights and personal stories, Drs. Hamilton and Park highlight how faith not only sustains healthcare professionals but also equips them to lead and care more deeply for their patients, colleagues, and themselves.

Send us a textIn this continued collaboration with Milford TV, we explore how burnout rarely makes a scene—it slips in as irritability, isolation, and the quiet urge to shut out the world. This episode is the conclusion of episode 225 and we open the door on how those whispers grow louder inside the fire service and EMS, why “just call this number” isn't care, and what it really takes to protect crews before a bad day becomes a disaster. Our guest, Renea Mansfield, shares honest, lived experience—from losing interest in the kitchen table banter to wrestling with passive suicidal thoughts in the height of COVID—and we walk through the small, specific signals leaders and peers need to catch early.From there, we shift into solutions that actually fit the job. We break down the Frontline Resilience Protocol, a three-pillar framework designed for police and fire: tactical performance tailored to real-world demands, culturally competent mental health support with warm handoffs and follow-up, and leadership development that turns communication into a daily practice. Think job-specific strength and mobility, nervous system regulation you can use in the rig or the hallway, and nutrition choices that work at 2 a.m. Equally important, we get into the human factors—dark humor, stigma, and how trust is built or broken when a captain shrugs off a plea for help.The throughline is simple: follow-up saves lives. When someone finally says “I'm not okay,” the next step must be personal, fast, and predictable. Leaders need scripts and skills, peers need permission to check back in, and departments benefit from trained outsiders who know the culture and aren't tangled in station politics. If you're a chief, union rep, or frontline responder, you'll walk away with practical steps to spot burnout early, respond with care, and build a system that doesn't quit when the shift ends.Her website is waywardwellnesscoaching.org LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/waywardwellnesscoaching/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/people/Wayward-Wellness-Coaching/61566792351111/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wayward_wellness_coaching/Freed.ai: We'll Do Your SOAP Notes!Freed AI converts conversations into SOAP note.Use code Steve50 for $50 off the 1st month!Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

Tired of ADHD strategies that don't work? Here's what actually does. FREE training here: https://programs.tracyotsuka.com/signup_____Nicole Bela was brilliant at her job. She could read a room in seconds, remember every donor's story, and raise millions for causes she believed in. But behind the polished professionalism, she was quietly unraveling. The same systems designed to do good were slowly breaking her down, and she couldn't understand why.After being diagnosed with ADHD at 37, just after the birth of her second son, Nicole finally had the missing piece. Suddenly, the patterns made sense: the anxiety that exercise once kept in check, the brain fog after Zoom meetings, the guilt of forgetting critical details while remembering someone's cat's name. What began as relief quickly turned into a mission. Nicole wrote a groundbreaking article for the Association of Fundraising Professionals, “Unmasking Burnout,” connecting the dots between masking, mental health, and why so many fundraisers, especially women, are burning out.In this conversation, Nicole and Tracy unpack why the nonprofit world may be full of undiagnosed neurodivergent professionals, how the pandemic exposed the cracks in traditional workplace culture, and what leaders can do to build real belonging. Nicole also shares how unmasking her ADHD changed the way she leads, works, and parents proving that inclusion starts when we stop pretending and start asking what people truly need to thrive.Resources:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/unmaskedartstudio LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nicole-bela-msw-cfre-a484571b Send a Message: Your Name | Email | Message If this podcast helps you understand your ADHD brain, Shift helps you train it.

What Fresh Hell: Laughing in the Face of Motherhood | Parenting Tips From Funny Moms
In this episode, Amy and Margaret explore the crucial distinction between stress and burnout—two experiences that often blur together in the chaos of parenting, but which are very different in presentation and the attention they require. Stress might be unavoidable, but it can also be motivational and lead to further growth. But when stress becomes constant and unresolved, it turns into burnout: exhaustion, disconnection, cynicism, and the feeling that nothing you do matters. Together, they discuss what burnout looks like physically and emotionally, how to recognize when you've crossed that line, and the small, practical things you can do to restore yourself. Whether you're running on fumes, feeling detached, or just tired of hearing “self-care” as a solution, this episode offers perspective, empathy, and evidence-based tools to help you reset.

Do you ever feel guilty taking time to do something you enjoy? Or have you ever said things like “I don't have time for that” (and by that, you mean basic human needs, like you don't have time to eat, to sleep, to pee?!?) Maybe you are running around so much taking care of everyone and everything that you find yourself fantasizing about hiding in a closet somewhere for a couple of days? I've been there/thought that and am so excited for you to listen to this interview. This week I'm joined by Jenny Lytle, a nurse with over 30 years of experience in end-of-life and hospice care. She now helps caregivers stop running on empty so they can keep showing up without losing themselves in the process. Together, we talk about: How to keep caring without collapsing What we get wrong about being a “good caregiver” How to survive caregiving and being in the sandwich generation Tiny, doable ways to refill your energy tank (even if you only have 10 minutes) If you're the one holding everything (and everyone) together, caring for aging parents, supporting kids, managing the household, this episode is for you.
