Episode 2853: Jenny Lee explores the silent crisis many mothers face: the erasure of personal identity under the weight of parenthood. By reframing burnout not as a failure but as a signal to reinvest in what makes you, you, she offers tangible steps to reclaim your sense of self, starting with self-care and extending into rediscovery, compromise, and purpose. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.hellobrio.com/blog/burnout Quotes to ponder: "It’s not okay for us to say, 'It’s tough, and I think I made a huge mistake becoming a parent.'" "Self-care should be your baseline: Get your full night's sleep, and exercise regularly." "In rediscovering your sense of identity, you will be a better mother. A better employee. A happier, more well-rounded person." Episode references: Untamed by Glennon Doyle: https://www.amazon.com/Untamed-Glennon-Doyle/dp/1984801252 Learn more about your ad choices.
