She explores the concept of overfunctioning—constantly doing things for your kids (and partner) they could do themselves, like making lunches or managing schedules. Through personal stories and practical parenting tips, Sarah explains how perfectionism, people-pleasing, and societal expectations keep moms feeling overwhelmed, resentful, and burnt out. Learn how to break the cycle, raise more independent kids, and redefine what it really means to be a good mom—even if it gets a little messy along the way.Key Topics & TakeawaysThe Default Parent DynamicEven in supportive relationships, moms are often the first point of contact for kids, especially when they’re upset or need something.Societal expectations and old-school gender norms reinforce this role — often without us realizing it.What Overfunctioning Really IsContinuously doing tasks your kids can (and should) do themselves: like packing lunches, making snacks, or managing appointments.Many women fall into this pattern because, from a young age, we’re rewarded for helping and keeping the peace.Over time, this leads to fatigue, burnout, and frustration.The Ripple Effect on Your FamilyWhen you overfunction, your kids underfunction — they rely on you instead of building confidence and skills.Over time, this imbalance can strain your relationships and perpetuate the same dynamic into the next generation.How to Break the CycleStart small: give your kids one new responsibility at a time.Expect (and accept) messiness and imperfection in the process.Work on letting go of perfectionism and people-pleasing as part of your parenting journey.Listener Story: Janie’s “Good Mom” EvolutionJanie shares how her definition of a “good mom” has shifted from doing everything to modeling balance and boundaries.This reflection helps us see that our childhood memories of parenting don’t always match today’s reality.Encouraging Age-Appropriate IndependenceLet kids take healthy, age-appropriate risks, whether it’s cooking a simple meal, walking to school, or grocery shopping.Resource mentioned: Let Grow for ideas and inspiration.Redefining What It Means to Be a “Good Mom”A good mom isn’t endlessly selfless — she models self-care and resilience.Kids thrive when they see you taking care of yourself and setting healthy boundaries.Links & ResourcesLet Grow — Ideas for building independence in kids.Previous episode on overfunctioning in relationships: Episode 9 “The One Where You Didn’t Sign Up for This” with Dr. Tracy DalgleishEffortless Energy Reset: My 6-week online program that helps you unlock more energy, deeper sleep and finally make time for yourself by learning to decode your body’s unique language.

    36. The One Where We Talk Like We Aren’t Being Recorded with Michelle Peris and Leigha Saunders
    2025/07/16
    Women’s health after 35 comes with a lot of noise—and even more gaslighting. In this honest, unfiltered episode of The Fatigue Fixer, I’m joined by my dear friends, and fellow naturopathic doctors, Dr. Michelle Peris and Dr. Leigha Saunders, for the kind of conversation we wish more women were having. No bios, no scripts, just real talk about what we’re tired of seeing, hearing, and feeling when it comes to health, productivity, mindset, and the pressure to do it all.

    We talk about the narratives that need to change, and how supportive female friendships aren’t just nice to have—they’re a non-negotiable part of healing.

    Key Takeaways:
    • Why “It’s just perimenopause” is an oversimplified and harmful response to women’s symptoms

    • The hidden cost of tying your self-worth to productivity and doing

    • How female anger is pathologized—and why it’s actually healthy

    • The power of friendships where you can tell the truth, without judgment

    • A new way to look at rest, weight gain, and emotional expression

    • What we’re sick of hearing in our practices (and what we’re replacing it with)

    Dr. Michelle Peris is a Naturopathic Doctor, founder of The Wild Collective, clinic owner at The Poppy Clinic in Burlington ON, and host of the podcast Wild Medicine. Learn more at michelleperis.com, and follow her on Instagram.

    Dr. Leigha Saunders is a Naturopathic Doctor, Menopause Society Certified Practitioner, and host of the podcast Grown Up Girl Talk. Learn more at leighasaundersnd.com, and follow her on Instagram.
