How To Protect Your Energy (Not Just Your Time) As A Burned Out Working Mom
So many of us have been taught that when we're overwhelmed, the answer is to push harder, stay more organized or somehow squeeze even more into an already packed schedule. But what if the answer is about more than managing your time so you can “do it all”?
In this week's episode of Overcaffeinated and Out of Effs I'm joined by K. Margaret Solorio, author of Make Ease Your Vibe, who shares her own story of hitting burnout during the COVID pandemic while juggling work and motherhood. She opens up about the breaking point that forced her to rethink everything and the simple mindset, energy and environment shifts that helped her begin feeling like herself again.
When you're naturally drawn to conversations about energy or simply looking for practical ways to feel calmer and less overwhelmed, this episode offers a fresh perspective on burnout recovery and creating a home environment that supports your well-being instead of adding to your stress.
In this episode we talk about:
- Why pushing harder often makes burnout worse
- The difference between managing your time and protecting your energy
- Simple ways your home environment can affect your stress levels
- What it means to create more ease in everyday life
- Practical strategies to help you feel calmer, more present and more productive
