Being booked solid does not always mean life is working. In this first episode of our new mini series, The Overextended Mom, we are talking about overscheduling and how it slowly drains the joy, energy, and connection out of motherhood.

What often starts with good intentions can turn into packed calendars, rushed mornings, endless commitments, and the constant feeling of being behind. From kids’ activities and family obligations to the invisible planning and mental load that usually lands on moms, overscheduling can quietly take over every part of life.

In Booked Solid, we explore how full schedules affect our nervous systems, our relationships, and our ability to actually be present. We talk about the guilt that shows up when we consider slowing down, the fear of letting our kids miss out, and the pressure to keep saying yes even when we are already stretched thin.

This episode is not about blame or doing more. It is about noticing the cost of always being busy and giving yourself permission to question whether the pace you are keeping still serves you and your family.

This is Part 1 of The Overextended Mom mini series. In Part 2, we will talk about giving too much. In Part 3, we will focus on learning how to say no without guilt.

If your calendar feels full but your cup feels empty, this conversation is for you.
