Podcast Episode 335: Feeling ‘Blah’? Let’s Talk About What’s Really Going On (& how to make it better)
Have you found yourself dragging through your days, feeling “blah” and completely unmotivated as a mom? You’re not alone. A lot of people I’ve spoken to lately feel like they’re running on empty—and they’re wondering … what’s wrong?
It’s not that your life is a disaster, but it feels like the spark is missing. So many are wondering what’s really going on?
Why can’t we shake that unmotivated feeling?
And is this actually be a sign of something deeper—like high-functioning depression?
This isn’t your typical talk about depression, though.
In the episode, we get real about how high-functioning depression symptoms often go unnoticed; like snapping at your kids over little things, avoiding calls, or endlessly scrolling social media just to avoid your to-do list. We’ll break down simple strategies to get out of this funk—and really try to dissect why so many of us are feeling this way after the past few years of global and personal stress, and why just powering through isn’t the solution. There’s hope, and there’s help.
If you’ve been feeling unmotivated as a mom and can’t figure out why this “blah” mood won’t go away, this episode is for you. Trust me, we’re not just talking about it—we’re sharing real tools you can use to feel better and more in control of your life. Click play and take that first step toward getting out of this rut. You’ve got this!
