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.

• What does overwhelm actually mean and why do so many moms live in it?
