In this episode of The Mum Poster Syndrome Podcast, Dr Natasha Wallace challenges the idea that working mums should be striving for "balance", and explains why this pursuit so often leads to burnout, guilt, and feelings of inadequacy.

Natasha explores how the pressure to be perfectly balanced across work, motherhood, relationships, and self-care is unrealistic and emotionally draining. Instead, she introduces a more sustainable and compassionate alternative: freedom over balance, and progress over perfection.

Through practical examples and reflective questions, Natasha shares how managing your energy, rather than your time, can help you feel calmer, more in control, and more aligned with what truly matters in your life. This episode encourages working mums to embrace flexibility, self-compassion, and small intentional changes, without trying to do everything at once.
