If you’ve ever wondered, “Why am I so exhausted?” or questioned whether you’re tired of being a mom or simply tired from doing motherhood intentionally… this episode is the clarity you’ve been needing.

Today, we’re breaking down the two types of mom tired — the kind that comes from giving motherhood your whole heart, and the kind that comes from losing yourself inside the mental load, overstimulation, and constant demands.

Inside this episode, Kristen shares two personal stories: one moment where she realized she was tired from doing motherhood well, and another moment she was afraid to admit — when she felt tired of being a mom and missed her freedom.

Both moments are real.

Both moments are normal.

And neither make you a bad mom.

This episode will help you:

• Understand the difference between burnout and identity depletion
• Recognize when you’re shifting into the wrong kind of tired
• Identify what’s actually draining your energy
• Reconnect with yourself so motherhood feels lighter
• Release the guilt around wanting space, quiet, rest, and autonomy
