• The Motherhood Penalty: Why Mums Are More Likely to Burnout and How to Avoid It

  Coach Jaclyn joins us to explore a profound question: How can working mothers find true balance without falling into the burnout trap? This episode tackles the societal pressures that demand women to excel in dual roles—professionally and as mothers—without missing a beat. We unravel the pervasive narrative of working as if you’re not a parent, and parenting like you don’t work. This expectation leads to a split identity, contributing to feelings of overwhelm and exhaustion. Together, we shine a light on the cultural forces that fuel perfectionism and a relentless mental load. By understanding these dynamics, women can begin to build emotional resilience, process emotions effectively, and prioritise self-care, guiding them toward a more fulfilling life.Our conversation moves toward the development of self-leadership and the necessity of flexible self-care, especially in the absence of traditional communal support. Many women experience the challenge of finding their voice, seeking validation, and setting boundaries—often leading to disconnection and burnout. Jaclyn shares insights into how cultivating self-trust and asserting personal needs can lead to empowerment and community transformation. We aim to inspire women to break free from cultural norms by embracing a balanced and self-caring lifestyle. It's time to redefine success and well-being on your own terms, creating a ripple effect that not only strengthens individual women but also empowers entire communities.Thank you for joining us today on the Balance and Beyond Podcast.

  Unlock the secrets to recognising and combating high-functioning burnout in our enlightening episode on Balance and Beyond. Join me and the insightful coach Sabina as we promise to guide you through the often-misunderstood territory of burnout, especially for ambitious women who appear to have it all together. Discover the subtle, creeping signs like increased anxiety and sleep disturbances, which can quietly escalate over time due to ingrained behaviours and relentless demands. We delve into strategies that can help you take proactive steps to prevent this crisis and ensure that burnout is not a predetermined consequence of a demanding lifestyle.In the second part of our candid conversation, we tackle the intricate concept of hyper-independence. This mindset, often summed up by the thought "if you want something done right, do it yourself," can lead to burnout by pushing individuals to take on too much without acknowledging personal limits. Sabina and I dissect how societal and familial models contribute to this mindset, examining the stigma of asking for help. We emphasise that seeking help and setting boundaries are not signs of weakness but essential acts of self-care. Embrace interdependence and support as we highlight the real costs of ignoring your needs and guide you toward a healthier, more balanced life.To view the Transcript from this week's episode, visit our Balance & Beyond Podcast webpage: https://www.balanceinstitute.com/podcast/2024/85Thank you for joining us today on the Balance and Beyond Podcast.
