"The Light Switch": This One's for the Women Overwhelmed by the Mental Load

Michelle takes a deep breath and checks in on the three pillars of her life: self, relationships, and motherhood. From taking Calm pills for morning anxiety to shutting down Josh's romantic attempts because she couldn't stop thinking about the messy basement rec room and house repairs, Michelle is unpacking why turning off the female brain is easier said than done. Plus, she shares a tearful morning realization about connecting with her 13-year-old son Ben, and the simple car-ride trick that's helping her bridge the gap.Episode Timestamp;00:00 Sponsor Message00:17 Welcome to the Show00:47 Three Pillars Update01:52 Anxiety and Body Check-In02:40 Supplements and Libido Shift04:05 Bloat and Stress Spiral06:44 Why I Keep Saying No10:54 Therapy Questions Ahead13:37 Mom Mode and Teen Worries15:42 Connecting With Boys18:53 Pushing Past Resistance21:34 Wrapping Up and Next Week23:03 Final OutroThis one's for the ladies who need a car ride with their teenagers and a complete brain-reset with their partners.If this episode resonated with you, take a moment to follow the podcast and share it with a friend who might need to hear this conversation too.And if you want to stay connected, you can find me on social media and on my website via the links below.
