I help parents trapped in anger and burnout free themselves from overwhelming guilt and shame.
Find Your Balance & Inner Calm
Let's be real, parenting is way harder and way less fun than any of us were expecting.
“The kids are finally asleep. I'm exhausted, overwhelmed, and stressed out. The house is a mess. That thing for work is coming up. I didn't think life was going to be like this.”
“I lost my temper too many times, I tried so hard to be patient but I was on edge all day. I didn't think life was going to be like this.”
Feel familiar? This is parenting burnout and if you can relate, you are not alone. Burnout is giving and giving until you are exhausted and have nothing left but still feeling like it's not enough.
Here you will find:
- Strategies to reclaim your sanity and clarity of mind
- Tools to find relief from shame and mom guilt
- A game plan to shift from yelling to connecting with your children
- How to pause so you can respond rather than react in life’s toughest parenting moments
- A deep sense in your core you are not alone and you are a good Mom
I’ve had the privilege of knowing Michelle Puster for the past four years, and I’m continually inspired by her passion for supporting mothers through burnout and overwhelm. Michelle brings a rare blend of professional expertise and personal authenticity to her work—she speaks openly and humbly about her own journey as a mom, which creates a sense of deep trust and connection. Her warmth, insight, and unwavering compassion make her an incredible resource for any mother navigating the demands of modern motherhood.
Michelle is one of the most amazing mums I know. She’s incredibly thoughtful, insightful and strong.
Having 3 children close together has given her a unique understanding of how hard parenting young children is, especially in a conscious and connected way.
She has such empathy for mums, especially around overwhelm, rage, depression and guilt, as well as how to deal with everyday life with kids.
I love her warmth, humor, honesty and insights. I’m continually inspired by her and grateful to have her in my life.
Hi! I'm Michelle Puster (she/her).
I'm a Certified Mindfulness Informed Professional, licensed therapist, and a mom of three. I quickly slipped into parenting burnout after I had my third child and experienced painful depression and anxiety for several years before I found a path out of burnout.
I created Compassionate Heart Mindful Life to share what I learned with busy Moms who care deeply, are trying so hard, and need support with the ever increasing guilt, self blame, and feeling like you're failing. You are not failing and you are not alone!

Real Life, Real Compassion
As a mom to 3 highly sensitive and strong-willed kids, my life is never easy going.
Read (or listen) to how I use mindfulness and self-compassion in day-to-day challenges to stay sane and ward off burnout. I’ll show you how to do the same.
As a mom, you need regular reminders that you aren’t alone and are not crazy. You aren’t the only one struggling or who feels parenting is not at all what you expected.
