82. I'm exhausted since becoming a mum, and sleep doesn't fix it

We're sleeping. We're resting. We're trying to slow down. And yet so many of us are still exhausted.

In this episode, I'm talking about the difference between being tired and being depleted, and why modern motherhood often gives us fragments of rest without the kind of recovery we actually need.

From brain fog and burnout to the pressure to keep functioning through everything, we're exploring why sleep isn't always enough, and why maybe the problem isn't that we're doing rest wrong.
