If you’ve been spinning in survival mode, holding it all together while slowly running on empty, this episode will help you find your way back to yourself. When I called over 100 Motherkind listeners recently, burnout came up again and again. It’s become such a common part of motherhood, but it doesn’t have to be this way. So in this episode, I’ve brought together three incredible voices to help us understand burnout, spot the signs early, and start to heal from it. First, Dr Claire Ashley, known as The Burnout Doctor, shares her own story of burnout, the signs she missed, the science behind what’s really happening in our bodies, and the steps she took to recover. Then, Rhiannon Lambert, one of the UK’s leading nutritionists, opens up about her own experience and what true nourishment looks like when you’re completely depleted. And finally, I share the tool that changed everything for me, how to complete the stress cycle, so your body and mind can finally rest, reset, and recover. This conversation is for every mother who’s ever felt like she’s running on empty. Burnout isn’t who you are; it’s a sign that something needs to shift. And you deserve to feel better.
