Ever feel like you're doing all the things...working, parenting, managing the house...but still losing yourself in the process?

In this two-part series, I'm sharing one of the most honest, powerful, and deeply validating conversations I've had all year. I was interviewed by Sami Garrett - founder of Good Enough Matrescence (GEM) - where we covered 20 raw questions from the GEM community on navigating burnout, balance, guilt, ambition, identity loss, and how to actually reclaim a life that feels good.

Whether you’re trying to manage the invisible load, find yourself again after baby, or just figure out how to get out of survival mode… this one’s for you.

🎧 Inside Part 2, we explore:
• The lies we believe about “doing it all”
• What burnout really feels like (spoiler: it’s not always obvious)
• How to make work and mothering allies instead of enemies
• The one micro-decision that changes how you show up
• Nervous system resets that take less than 60 seconds
• How balance evolves day-to-day, month-to-month, season-to-season
• How to honor boundaries (even if you're Type A!)
• What to do when you feel like you’ve lost yourself
• My advice for designing a life with more peace, ease, and fun, starting today
