When you’re stressed and overwhelmed, people naturally offer well-intentioned advice but there’s one thing that inevitably just makes you feel WORSE.

In this episode, we’re breaking down what that is, why it’s so triggering, and what a stressed out mom really needs in that moment instead.

Whether you’re the stressed out mom in this scenario OR the one trying to offer “help”, you can’t afford to miss this deep-dive into how moms’ stress is rooted in a deep, even subconscious, belief you have to earn your self-worth and thus any insinuation you should do less just sends your body into a threat response.

BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU'LL DISCOVER:

  • The WORST thing you can say to a stressed-out mom
  • What her stressed-out brain really hears when you say that
  • Where her sense of perceived threat really comes from
  • Exactly what to do and say instead to help a stressed-out mom actually feel safe
  • Why it’s imperative that stressed-out moms learn the roots of their subconscious triggers so they don’t pass on generational trauma to their own kids

AS MENTIONED:

Join the Moms Making Time™ Society to get the structure, resources, motivation, accountability, and SUPPORT you need to reclaim your time and rediscover yourself so your whole family can flourish.

Must read: The Five Love Languages

HOMEWORK:

Consider the extent to which all this applies to you. Notice how you feel, both emotionally and physically in your body, when someone comments on how much you’re doing or insinuates either that you should do less or aren’t doing enough. Then next time that situation arises, simply pause and remind yourself in that moment that you are safe, you DON’T ever have to earn love & belonging, and no matter what anyone else thinks you know you’re coming from the best of intentions. Share your thoughts with me via email or DM if you'd like personalized feedback!

COMING UP NEXT:

Don’t miss next episode where we’ll delve into the science-backed art of seasonal living: what it is, why it’s so beneficial, how to do it right, and more. This is a complete game changer for busy mamas striving to live a more purposeful and productive life!
