Do moms really have no time, or are we just scrolling it all away?

In this episode, Shawna and Cara put this question to the test with a personal time audit.

They uncover surprising truths about "wasted" time, the psychology behind mom guilt, and why choosing to rest can feel so impossible.

This episode is for any mom who’s ever felt guilty for choosing her phone over the laundry pile or any mom who secretly super cleans for 30 minutes before their partner gets home because they don’t want them to discover… what didn’t get done in the day.

TLFMTR (Too Long For Mom To Read):

• Scrolling isn't always wasted time; sometimes it's a necessary mental break.
  

• The pressure to be constantly productive is often rooted in our upbringing and societal expectations.
  

• Understanding your personality tendencies (like being an "obliger") can help you reframe and prioritize self-care.
  

• We challenge the default notion that spare moments must be filled with chores instead of activities just for you.

  
  

When you find an unexpected moment to yourself, what is your default activity, and how can you offer yourself more grace in that choice?

Remember, you are doing enough, and your need for rest is valid.
