Summary

Today’s episode expands on the feelings of burnout and overwhelm that we’ve been talking about, and our hope is that it will give you some tangible tools and ideas for how we’ve worked through it in different seasons of our lives.

Both of us are moms of 3 children, with careers, partners, houses and laundry. We get it! We’ve been through all the tough seasons where we just weren’t asking for help or accepting it from others. In this episode, we reveal some personal stories of times where we were really overwhelmed, and we share what worked, what didn’t quite work, and how we have been able to get to where we are today in this area.

Taking care of ourselves has always been such a pillar of the herself brand. I mean, Amy and I,

0:04.8

we are talking about this all the time on Instagram in our podcast. It's a part of our life.

0:09.6

And it's also how we can get one step further than we are today. And I encourage you that this is

0:15.2

what you can do as well. Acting like you matter, taking care of yourself. These need to be pillars

0:20.8

not only for the people that you listen to on a podcast, but things that you're taking seriously

0:24.8

in your own life as well. I, Amy, and I'm Abby. And as women, we are constantly comparing ourselves

0:34.8

to others. But your life isn't supposed to look like hers. Being your best self means standing firm

0:41.4

in your decisions and always being willing to grow with a purpose. We get vulnerable and real,

0:47.0

with an honest look into the challenges and triumphs we all face. Every woman listening

gets an opportunity to choose what life looks like for herself.

1:24.9

We've gone through newborn seasons. We've gone through tough partnership seasons.

1:30.2

We've gone through the season where we weren't asking for or accepting help.

1:35.6

We think we now from all that experience have some really good strategies to offer. And we want to

1:42.0

meet you exactly where you are today. So we're going to dig in. We're going to give some

1:47.3

personal stories of times where we were really overwhelmed, things that worked, things that really

1:54.3

didn't work, and how we got to where we are today. So first, I thought it would be really good

2:01.2

for each of us to talk about seasons where we were really in the thick of it, like in the thick
