Burnout: The Invisible Weight of Motherhood

In this powerful episode of Parent Unplugged, I’m joined by psychotherapist Natasha Crowe to talk about maternal burnout—what it really is, how it shows up, and why so many mums are struggling in silence.

We dive into:

• Maternal burnout vs postnatal depression

• The impact of good girl conditioning on modern motherhood

• The importance of boundaries for mums

• Realistic self-care (beyond bubble baths!)

• How society glamorises self-sacrifice in parenting

• The roots and reality of mum guilt

This episode is packed with insight, validation, and practical steps to help you move from surviving to thriving.
