Lessons from Working Mum Burnout {S4E11}
Listen on:
Today on Raising Healthy Mothers I'm talking to the wonderful Nicky Lowe, founder of Wisdom for Working Mums, supporting women to combine their work and family life in a more successful and sustainable way, helping mums to truly thrive.
In this episode we talk about Nicky's story about burnout from motherhood which led to adrenal fatigue and the valuable lessons she learnt from it. We discuss...
Stress, burnout and resilience and how it can become such a defining feature for mums in early motherhood
How the strategies we use to replenish before children don't work when you have children
Motherhood as depleting on the nervous system
How important finding time for yourself is to get your fundamental needs met so you can be the mother you want to be
Resilience and how it's different for women compared to men
The 5 steps to developing good communication and establishing boundaries
I had a bit of a lightbulb moment in this episode when I recognised myself in Nicky's story about becoming depleted by the end of the day from being needed so much by her young son. It made me realise I need to put some boundaries in place and take responsibility about it.
