Overwhelm is something every mom knows far too well. The busy schedules, the pressure to say yes to everything, the guilt when you try to prioritize yourself, and the constant sense that you are running on empty. In this powerful conversation, Lauren is joined again by her friend and coach Emily Erb to unpack why overwhelm shows up, how it becomes a cycle, and what practical steps can help you break free from it.

Emily shares her perspective on why overwhelm is often a learned response, how saying yes to everything keeps women stuck, and how boundaries, connection, and nervous system awareness can begin to shift everything. Together they discuss motherhood, burnout, shame resilience, health and fitness habits, and the deep conditioning that tells women they must always put themselves last.

This episode feels like sitting with two friends who get it and who want you to feel lighter, safer, calmer, and more empowered in your daily life.

Questions answered in this episode:

• What does overwhelm actually mean and why do so many moms live in it?
• How do boundaries reduce overwhelm and create more space for the things you care about?
• Why do women feel guilty for taking time for themselves?
• How does your nervous system respond when you are constantly rushing or people pleasing?

So many women feel guilty for wanting more in their lives. More purpose, more creativity, more peace, more ease, more fulfillment. We’ve been conditioned to believe that wanting more somehow makes us ungrateful or selfish. In this episode, Lauren completely reframes that belief and shows you why your desire for more is actually a sign of self awareness, not selfishness.

You’ll learn why your nervous system reacts the way it does, how resentment builds when your purpose is suppressed, and how to begin rewiring your subconscious so that expansion feels safe instead of scary. If you’ve ever wondered why you feel called to something deeper, or felt guilty for that calling, this episode will feel like a breath of truth.
