153. Why Self-Care Isn't Working | 5 Min Journal Prompts for Tired Moms

🎯 REGISTER NOW: FREE 20-minute workshop "Permission to Prioritize Your Energy": www.samanthapenkoff.com/energy-workshop. Happening on Tuesday, June 24th! Get daily permission slips that fuel you instead of drain you

You're doing all the "right" things—therapy sessions, morning workouts, self-care Sundays, those personal development books everyone raves about. So why are you still completely exhausted by 3 PM? Why does nothing seem to bring your energy back?

If you're a mom who loves your kids but feels constantly drained by them, and your job is starting to feel less and less fulfilling while your days become more mundane, this episode is exactly what you need.

In this 5-minute journaling session, you'll explore:

• When you feel most drained during your day (and the specific triggers you might be missing)
• What you're currently doing to boost energy—and why it's not working
• The hard truth about how often you choose "should" over "want"
• Why we leak energy through tiny decisions all day long as moms
• The real solution that doesn't require adding anything to your plate

🌟 Ready to go deeper? Join the FREE workshop on Tuesday, June 24th to discover how to become an energized mom with daily permission slips that fuel you instead of drain you—even with your long to-do list: www.samanthapenkoff.com/energy-workshop

Key Insight: We're trying to add energy through external things like massages and girls' nights when we're actually leaking energy through micro-choices all day long. Every time we choose what we "should" do over what we genuinely want, we're draining ourselves.
