172. Stop Chasing Work-Life Balance: 4 Internal Shifts That End Mom Overwhelm

You know that thing where you're working past bedtime because you convinced yourself "if I just finish this one thing, tomorrow will be so much easier"? Then you wake up and somehow there's even more waiting for you?

That cycle used to drive me absolutely nuts. And after working with hundreds of ambitious moms, I've realized we're all chasing the wrong thing. 😂

Here's what we're covering in today's episode:

🧠 Why your to-do list will never make you feel balanced (and what actually will)

⏸️ The 2-second reset technique that stops overwhelm in its tracks without slowing you down

🎯 How hyperachievers can detach from outcomes and actually enjoy their work again

The Real Talk:

After this episode, you'll catch yourself in those scattered moments and know exactly how to bring yourself back to center. No more mental chaos. No more feeling like you're drowning in tasks that multiply faster than you can cross them off.

You'll walk away knowing how to feel accomplished and proud of yourself - without needing anyone else to tell you "good job." Because let's be honest, when's the last time your partner noticed you reorganized the entire pantry or your boss acknowledged you stayed late to prep for that client meeting?

This is about feeling peaceful in the middle of your busy life, not waiting for busy to end.
