💛 Micro Moments, Massive Impact: Motherhood Without the Burnout

Let’s talk about something we don’t talk about enough:

The daily mental load, emotional juggling act, and invisible labor that is modern motherhood.

If you’ve ever found yourself hiding in the bathroom just to breathe (no shame, I’ve been there), or felt guilty for wanting five freaking minutes alone—this one’s for you.

In this week’s episode of the ShameOver Podcast, I sat down with the incredible Caroline - certified health + wellness coach and founder of Mother Hen Coaching, to unpack what it actually means to care for yourself while caring for everyone else.

Spoiler: It’s not bubble baths and solo Target runs (though we love those too).

It’s about what Caroline calls “micro moments”—those tiny, intentional pauses that add up to a calmer, more grounded you.

✨ What We Talked About:

✅ How micro moments help moms reclaim their sanity

✅ Why self-compassion isn’t a luxury—it’s a lifeline

✅ The myth of the “bounce back” and how it messes with our heads

✅ Simple ways to shift out of autopilot (even on zero sleep)

✅ How moderation, boundaries, and emotional regulation all connect in motherhood

And yes—we went there with bedtime battles, self-talk spirals, and how to stop feeling like you’re failing at everything when your to-do list is longer than your kid’s birthday wish list.

💥 My Favorite Mic Drop from Caroline:

“When you start treating yourself like someone you love, you stop needing permission to rest.”

(Yes. Read that again. Print it. Tattoo it on your soul.)
