    8: Why Your Routines Don’t Stick (And What Actually Works)

    Show Notes If you wake up feeling exhausted before the day even really starts, this episode is for you. In this episode of Mom Brain Unplugged, we’re talking about decision fatigue — the invisible mental exhaustion that comes from making hundreds of choices every single day as a mom. From what to wear, to what to eat, to who needs what and when, the constant decision-making quietly drains your energy and contributes to overwhelm, stress, and burnout. This conversation isn’t about fixing yourself or becoming more disciplined. It’s about understanding why you feel so tired — and how to gently reduce the mental load without adding more to your plate. In this episode, we cover: What decision fatigue actually is and why it hits moms so hard Why feeling exhausted doesn’t mean you’re lazy or unmotivated How constant micro-decisions drain your mental and emotional energy The connection between decision fatigue, overwhelm, and routines Simple, realistic ways to reduce decision load and reclaim mental space This episode is a reminder that you don’t need to do more — you need fewer decisions competing for your energy. ✨ Mom Brain Unplugged was voted a 2026 Top Reset Podcast by FeedSpot.

    7: The Art of Ending the Day - Why Nighttime Routines Matter More Than You Think

    7: The Art of Ending the Day Why Nighttime Routines Matter More Than You Think If you’re exhausted but can’t seem to shut your brain off at night, this episode is for you. In today’s conversation, we’re reframing nighttime routines—not as another thing to perfect, but as a way to gently signal to your brain that the day is complete. Because rest doesn’t come from scrolling or zoning out—it comes from closure. In this episode, we explore: Why moms feel tired but wired at night How nighttime routines differ from morning routines The role of mental closure in calming your nervous system Why “just relax” doesn’t work Simple ways to close the day without adding pressure or productivity This episode will help you stop carrying the day into the night—and wake up with less mental weight. ✨ Mom Brain Unplugged was voted a 2026 Top Reset Podcast by FeedSpot.

    6: Why Mornings Are So Hard (And It’s Not You)

    Ever wake up already feeling behind — not late, just mentally exhausted? In this episode of Mom Brain Unplugged, we’re redefining what a calm morning routine actually is and why most routines don’t stick. Spoiler alert: smooth mornings don’t start in the morning at all — they begin the night before. We’ll talk about decision fatigue, gentle systems, and how to create a routine that supports your real life instead of adding pressure. Mom Brain Unplugged was recently named a 2026 Top Reset Podcast by FeedSpot, and this episode reflects exactly why — helping moms reduce overwhelm through clarity, not hustle. In this episode, we cover: Why mornings feel overwhelming before the day even starts What a calm morning routine is (and what it isn’t) The three parts of a routine that actually works Why night-before planning reduces morning stress How to remove decisions instead of adding habits Action Step: Choose one morning anchor that grounds you and one night-before decision that lightens your mental load. Keep it simple. Notice the difference. Stay connected: Follow along on Instagram at @mombrainunpluggedpodcast for encouragement, tools, and gentle resets. Coming Up Next: In the next episode, we’ll build on this conversation by creating a simple, realistic night routine that sets your mornings up for success — without turning evenings into another checklist.

    3: Breaking Up with Busy
