Have you ever sat down to get something done—work, decluttering, even something you want to do—and suddenly felt frozen? In this episode of The Purpose Driven Mom Show, I'm unpacking the invisible weight of decision fatigue, why it hits moms so hard, and how it quietly fuels procrastination. This isn't about burnout, laziness, or a lack of motivation—it's about mental overload and the constant, invisible decisions we're making every single day as moms.

In this episode of The Purpose Driven Mom Podcast, I'm breaking down three popular time management strategies for moms—batching, flow, and the 15 Minute Formula—and explaining why none of them work as a one-size-fits-all solution. If you've ever felt like batching doesn't stick, going with the flow leaves you behind, or 15-minute pockets "don't count," this conversation will help you understand what's really happening. The problem isn't your motivation or discipline—it's using the wrong strategy for your brain, energy, and season of motherhood.
