When did exhaustion become a personality trait?

In this episode of Momster Mash, we’re talking about the quiet truth so many moms — and overwhelmed humans in general — carry: we are tired of proving our worth through productivity.

This conversation is about choosing protection over pressure.
Calm over constant output.
Sustainability over survival mode.

Inside this episode:
🖤 The guilt we feel when we rest
🖤 Why hobbies, comfort horror, spirituality, and quiet rituals help regulate the nervous system
🖤 The lie of the “perfect mom” and what real parenting actually looks like
🖤 Social media comparison and why it’s the real monster
🖤 Modeling emotional care and boundaries for our kids
🖤 Taking 5 minutes to breathe as an act of generational healing

Because success isn’t always promotions, money, or having it all together.

Sometimes success is:
• Getting through the day gently
• Letting yourself pause
• Wearing hand-me-downs
• Surviving in ways that don’t look aesthetic
• Feeling that small moment of quiet where you think, “Okay… I’m enough.”

That’s not failure.
That’s nervous system safety.
That’s healing.

You don’t have to be a mom to be here. If you’re unlearning hustle culture and trying to build a life that doesn’t burn you out — you’re in the right place.
