The new year often brings pressure to change, improve, and reinvent yourself, especially as a mom. In this episode, we explore why the “New Year, New You” mindset can feel exhausting and why growth doesn’t require a new identity. If you’re feeling overwhelmed by expectations or discouraged by past resolutions, this conversation offers relief, compassion, and a more gentle way forward.

In this episode, we explore a question every mom needs to revisit as seasons shift: What do I truly have the capacity to carry right now? Whether you’re entering the holidays, transitioning into a new year, or navigating a full season of parenting, your emotional, mental, and physical capacity changes—and that’s normal.

This conversation offers a compassionate look at why moms feel stretched thin—and simple, realistic tools to help you feel grounded and well again.
