From Burnout to Becoming: A Mother’s Relaunch
Manage episode 480852483 series 2666561
This one’s personal.
In this heartfelt solo episode, I open up about something I see so many women struggle with—especially those who’ve spent years giving to everyone else. It’s the slow, quiet burnout that creeps in when caretaking becomes your identity… and your needs slowly fade to the background.
This episode—From Burnout to Becoming: A Mother’s Relaunch—isn’t about fixing yourself. It’s about finding yourself again. The version of you that once dreamed, created, and felt lit up by life. The one who’s still there, waiting underneath the exhaustion, the guilt, and the “shoulds.”
Whether you’re deep in motherhood, caretaking for a loved one, or just feeling like you’ve forgotten what you want—this is your permission slip to begin again.
Because when you choose yourself, you don’t just rise—you raise everyone around you, too.
Highlights:
00:40 – The Disappearing Act of Motherhood
How constantly giving to others can quietly erase the parts of us that used to feel alive and inspired.
04:25 – Reclaiming Yourself Without Guilt
Why choosing joy and honoring your desires is not selfish—it’s essential.
08:10 – Three Ways to Begin Again
Simple but powerful shifts—like sacred scheduling and mini rituals—that help you feel more like you again.
13:00 – From Just Liking Your Life to Loving It
How small moments of presence and pleasure can reconnect you to your dreams and your worth.
16:50 – The Ripple Effect of Living Fully
Choosing yourself doesn’t just change your life—it becomes permission for others to do the same.
Hilary’s 3HQ™ Takeaway
This is what 3HQ™ is all about:
Reclaiming your Head (the thoughts that tell you you're not doing enough), reconnecting with your Heart (the desires you’ve pushed aside), and letting your Highest Self lead you forward with ease, purpose, and joy.
You don’t need to become someone new.
You just need to come back to the woman you’ve always been.
