“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.
I'm Michelle Puster (she/her), 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!
This is where the Rage Break comes in. It's a free audio file for you to listen to on the floor of your bathroom, walking around the outside of your car, anytime anywhere you are about to lose it or or have just lost it and you are desperately trying to find your footing again.
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.
(Receive my weekly blog in your inbox with audio file if you are like me and you prefer to listen.)
