    243 - 3 Things I Started Saying That Helped Heal My Burnout

    What’s your go-to response when you’re asked to take on something new?

    For the longest time, I’d automatically say yes (regardless of whether I had the time or energy).  Can you relate?

    As high-achieving moms, we likely take pride in being high-capacity - you’re dependable, productive, reliable, helpful, etc. But being quick to say yes to everything can also be a fast track to burnout.

    In today’s episode, I share 3 things I started saying to help me set better boundaries around my time, energy, and bandwidth, and help me recover from burnout. 

    If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed and pressed for time lately, this episode is for you!

Love this podcast!

I stumbled across this podcast and it has been so helpful! I was feeling completely burnt out and this helped me see it’s normal and gave me strategies to deal with it!

Tryna Be A Calm Mom

I stumbled upon this podcast recently and loved it! I will keep listening and growing through Michelle’s calm advice. My big take away is that I realize now that I can rewire the patterns I’ve become so accustomed to and didn’t even realize were possible to change. Awareness of it is key. Wish I could afford your coaching but I’m a school teacher. Wow what a difference it would make in my life. Keep it coming Miss Grosser! You deserve 5 stars! Can you make an episode about sound healing or vocal toning!? I’ve heard this is helpful to help break out certain patterns. When you quoted Brene Brown, “Clear is kind,” it rang in my ears. I consider myself a kind person but for years I ended up ghosting people or stringing along my answers because I wanted to people please. Saying no is Hard! Needless to say, I have the Leaving Pattern. Peace and Love!

JJfancy ,

Great information!

I happened to stumble upon the show by searching “calm”. I completely relate to being a perfectionist and my perfectionism being the root cause of my anxiety. I can’t wait to listen to more of the podcasts! Thank you!!
