Podcast Episode 302: Your Motherhood Burnout Survival Guide: the 5 Key Components of Relationships with Dr. Morgan Cutlip
Let’s play a little game. Ask yourself: “The type of mom I thought I’d be is…” Go ahead, fill in the blank.
Did you picture yourself as a patient, Pinterest-perfect mom who always has a healthy snack on hand, never raises her voice, and magically balances work, family, and a thriving social life?
Yeah, me too. But reality had other plans, right? And then reality hit—hard.
If you’ve ever found yourself hiding in the bathroom with a cold cup of coffee, muttering, “I just need a minute,” welcome to motherhood burnout—and that’s exactly why you need this burnout survival guide.
In this podcast episode, we sat down with Dr. Morgan Cutlip, who holds a PhD in Psychology, and is the author of the book: Love Your Kids Without Losing Yourself: 5 Steps to Banish Guilt and Beat Burnout When You Already Have Too Much to Do. She helps us uncover the 5 key components of relationships and how they can be your secret weapon against burnout.
And trust me, this isn’t your typical “take a bubble bath and call it self-care” kind of advice. We’re talking about the real stuff—the stuff that can turn motherhood burnout into something you can actually survive (and maybe even thrive).
