Do you wake up already tired — even after a full night’s sleep? You’re not alone, mama. If you’ve been wondering why coffee, naps, or an early bedtime never seem to touch that bone-deep exhaustion, this episode is for you.

Here’s the truth: mom exhaustion isn’t just about sleep. It’s about the invisible energy leaks draining you every single day — decision fatigue, emotional labor, and overextension. These hidden drains are the real reason you feel stuck in “always behind mode,” even when you’re doing all the right things.

In this episode of Boundaries, Business & Balance, we dig into:

• The real reason moms feel exhausted even after 8 hours of sleep (hint: it’s not your bedtime).

• How decision fatigue leaves you foggy and scattered before breakfast is even over.

• The weight of emotional labor and why being the “emotional thermostat” of your house is draining your energy faster than lack of sleep ever could.

• Why overextension and saying yes too much keeps moms overwhelmed, resentful, and burned out.

• Simple, real-mom strategies to stop leaking energy and finally start feeling calm, confident, and whole.

If you’ve ever thought, “I’m failing. I must be doing something wrong,” I want you to hear this: you’re not failing. You’re not broken. You’re just overloaded. And once you know where your energy is leaking, you can patch the drains and finally start to breathe again.
