Parenting, loss, school transitions, sleepless nights, sometimes it all collides at once. In this raw and honest episode of Mucked Up My Self-Care, Jill and Linda talk openly about the weight of maternal burnout. From disrupted nights and defiant kids to the impossible juggle of family, work, and self-care, they share the highs, lows, and the messy middle that so many moms live through.In this episode, you'll learn:How grief, school transitions, and daily stress compound into burnoutWhy disrupted sleep leaves moms feeling like they can't ever “catch up”The difference between early motherhood burnout and maternal burnout later onThe hidden pressure of overscheduled kids and family routinesWhy letting things slide can actually be a form of self-careHow to prioritize your needs when family always feels like the top valueWhy burnout is a signal, not a failure Maternal burnout isn't just exhaustion, it's the buildup of unrelenting pressure, grief, and responsibilities that leave little space for you. Jill and Linda remind us that you're not alone in this struggle, and sometimes the first step in self-care is simply naming the burnout out loud. If you're feeling stretched too thin, may this episode be your reminder that something has to give - and that it's okay if it's not you. Until next week, we hope you can unstuck your muck!

Why do people still believe in horoscopes, even when we know they're not true? (If this is you, I'm curious, not judging.)For nearly a century, people have turned to horoscopes for all sorts of advice, and they're actually more popular now than ever.

Sis, it's time to wake up and take your power back! In this episode, we're breaking down the real meaning of propaganda and how it shows up in our everyday lives, from the news we watch to the stories we tell ourselves.

If you've ever found yourself wide awake at 2 a.m., phone in hand, typing “Is this perimenopause or am I losing it?” into Google, you're not alone.

She gets real about the dangers of DIY menopause management—from information overload to supplement overwhelm—and why you deserve more than guesswork when it comes to your health.Dr. Taniqua also takes you behind the scenes of building Revival Women's Health, a midlife care practice designed to give you time, partnership, and a plan that's about you, not the latest internet trend.

Ultrasounds have become a routine part of modern pregnancy care — but how much do we really know about their origins, benefits, risks, and accuracy?

Episode SummaryWhy do so many women feel dismissed in healthcare — even when they see good doctors? The problem isn't always the people — it's the cultural stories we've told about what “matters.”Inspired by sports journalist Kate Fagan's TED Radio Hour insight on women's sports, Georgie draws a powerful parallel to women's health: when we don't tell clear stories or define the stakes, we leave research gaps, funding gaps, and entire conditions misunderstood.In just 10 minutes, you'll hear:What Kate Fagan's quote reveals about collective blind spotsHow endometriosis, PMDD, and IUD pain show this in actionWhy better stories are the first step to better funding, research, and careHow this idea applies far beyond women's health, to any overlooked issueListen If You…Have ever felt unseen in a doctor's officeWork in healthcare, research, or policy and want better insightsWant to understand the link between storytelling and system changeResources & Next StepsListen to the TED Radio Hour episode with Kate Fagan Read the full companion article: What We Don't See, We Don't Solve

How do we all be okay when so much is not okay in the world?There's so much bad, scary, overwhelming stuff going on constantly that it's really hard sometimes to just get out of bed in the morning. Nevermind show up as our best selves, as our best empowered nonprofit leaders fighting for what's right, fighting for the people we serve, and to protect our communities. We can't do that without some help. So the conversation is increasingly turning to a search for information, a search for ideas, as we ask each other: What are you doing to cope? How are you managing? Have you figured something out? Can you share it with me?I think it's incredibly important that we talk with one another about this on a regular basis, and that we keep our emotional and physical wellbeing at the forefront of our attention in this time. And I know that's a lot easier said than done, which is why I want us to talk about it.I don't have THE ANSWER. Nobody does. But I have some thoughts and observations about what I'm finding is working for me, and what I'm hearing from others is working for them. And some patterns, some consistencies I'm seeing that I think are worth calling out and sharing with you.There are also a couple of cautionary notes for us as nonprofit leaders to flag and be super aware of with our teams, because they're looking to us for help.  In this episode, we share:How stress manifests itself in the body, and how to use that knowledge to reduce those damaging effectsThree physical stress management techniques that work in under three minutesThe two aspects of self-awareness that are key to all emotional/mental/spiritual self-careHow to catch signs of martyrdom in yourself and your team, and how to counter thatHow we can both model behavior and create an environment of policy and practice that supports our team in their own self-care work  If you found value in this episode, please let others know!
