Are you just… exhausted most of the time, but still trying to keep everything together?

Do you feel like you should put your own oxygen mask on first—but have no idea how?

And have you tried bubble baths or “me-time,” only to realize they don’t actually fix the problem?

If this sounds familiar, you’re not behind. You’re just running on empty.

In this episode, I’m sharing 7 self-care tips for busy moms—especially moms of tweens and teens—who want more energy, clarity, and time without guilt. These are realistic self-care habits that fit real life, even when your schedule feels packed and your mental load is heavy.

No disappearing for hours. No complicated routines. Just small, intentional changes that help you reclaim time for yourself while still showing up for your family.

Grab a notebook—this one might feel like a deep breath and a little permission to finally choose yourself. Cheering you on, Sarah ________________________________________________

• Do you feel like you’re doing everything—but something still feels off?
• Have you tried to make time for yourself, only to fall off track or feel guilty when you do?
• And do you ever wonder why balance feels harder now—even though your kids are more independent?

If you’re a mom of tweens or teens navigating middle motherhood, this episode will help you understand why traditional time management and self-care advice isn’t working—and what actually creates balance in this season.

In this episode, we talk about the missing piece so many moms overlook: getting clear on your why. When you don’t know why you’re making time for yourself or setting boundaries, balance feels fragile, decisions feel heavy, and mom guilt creeps in. But when your why is clear, decision making gets easier, boundaries feel lighter, and self-care stops feeling optional.

You’ll learn how to:

• Identify what you really want in this season of motherhood—without guilt
• Create balance through alignment, not hustle or perfection
• Make time for yourself while staying present and connected to your family
• Set boundaries that support your energy, health, and peace
• Build consistent self-care habits that actually stick

This episode is for moms who feel stretched thin, conflicted, or stuck between caring for everyone else and wanting time for themselves. You don’t need another planner or routine—you need clarity, intention, and a why that fits your real life.

If balance feels hard right now, this conversation will help you step off the struggle bus and start creating a more grounded, sustainable version of balance—one decision at a time.
