Christmas week is here, and if you're feeling exhausted, click play and let's have a mom-to-mom talk.
This week, we're skipping the lessons and best practices for a real conversation about what it actually takes to pull off an amazing holiday experience for your family—while regular life, work, schedules, and expectations don't slow down. We're talking about being organized and still stressed, carrying the mental and emotional load, and why showing up tired doesn't cancel out the effort you're making.

Episode Highlights:

• Why Christmas can feel heavy — even when you're organized and planned ahead
• The difference between logistical overwhelm and emotional labor
• Wanting the season to matter without chasing perfection
• Why showing up tired still counts

Rest sounds simple — until you actually try to do it.

If you're a driven, high-functioning mom, sitting down to rest often feels stressful, unproductive, or even irresponsible. Your brain keeps scanning for what still needs to be done, and before you know it, you're back up doing "just one more thing."

In this episode, I'm breaking down why rest feels so hard for driven moms, how we get stuck in constant "ON" mode, and why the all-or-nothing thinking around rest keeps us exhausted. We'll talk about what rest actually is (and what it's not), and how to approach it in a way that supports your drive instead of fighting it.

This isn't about letting things fall apart or becoming a different kind of person. It's about learning how to rest strategically so you can keep showing up the way you want to — without running yourself into the ground.

Episode Highlights:

• Why driven moms struggle to rest even when they're exhausted
• How identity, judgment, and fear of letting things slip keep us in "go mode"
• The difference between unstructured rest and restorative rest
• The four types of rest every mom needs (physical, mental, emotional, and functional)
• A practical, realistic process for building rest into your life without added stress
• How to tell whether the kind of rest you're taking is actually working

Episode Highlights:

• How we can set goals differently now that we are moms, without watering them down or pushing them out far into the future.
• 4 things that are true for moms that affect how we set and achieve goals.
• 4 things I do to hit my goals even in our already full life.
• How working towards goals affects us and why it's so important.
