In this episode, I chat with Dayna Abraham, founder of Calm the Chaos Parenting, about the all-too-real struggle of mom burnout. Dayna shares her personal journey from being a teacher to a mom dealing with her own child's challenges in school, which led her to start documenting her experiences online. We dive into what mom burnout really looks like, how it affects both parents and kids, and some practical ways to manage it.

Dayna offers some great insights on creating sustainable self-care practices, the importance of being open with your kids about your struggles, and how to work with your partner to lighten the load. We talk about outsourcing tasks when possible, simplifying routines, and giving ourselves permission to let some things go.

One of my favorite takeaways is Dayna's "parking lot" concept for worries - a way to acknowledge our concerns without letting them consume us daily. Whether you're in the thick of burnout or just feeling the pressure of mom life, this conversation is full of relatable moments and actionable advice to help you find some calm in the chaos.

Hope you enjoyed this episode!
