Ever feel like you're functioning on fumes? This week on This Flocked Up Life, we’re getting real about what it means to be running on empty—mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually. Because let’s face it, burnout isn’t just a buzzword—it’s a lived experience for so many moms.

From the invisible mental load that never seems to shut off, to the emotional exhaustion of always being “on,” we’re unpacking the truth behind the tired. We’re also sharing some hilarious tired-mom fails (because if we don’t laugh, we’ll cry) and having an honest convo about what real rest looks like—and why it’s so hard to claim.

This episode is a permission slip to let go of the pressure, set a boundary or two, and finally fill your own tank without guilt. Whether you're nodding off in the school pick-up line or just feeling stretched way too thin, we promise: you are not alone.

Tune in now and let’s normalize the tired truth of motherhood.

We'd love to hear from you! Reach out to us.
