      Are you wondering if you should really be this tired? In this episode of That’s Good Parenting, Dori Durbin talks with trauma informed coach, educator, and author Calvalyn Day about mom burnout and the invisible emotional labor that makes momming feel so heavy.

      This conversation explores why burnout is not just about doing too much, but about carrying the mental load, staying emotionally regulated, and being always available while your own nervous system never gets to rest.

      In this episode, you will learn:

      • Why mom burnout shows up as exhaustion, irritability, and emotional shutdown
      • A simple grounding question to guide burnout recovery: “What do you want to feel?”
      • Practical ways to build real breaks into your day, including the Quiet Box idea
      • How to set limits around activities and expectations without guilt
      • Why supporting moms helps kids too, especially kids with anxiety

      If you have ever thought, “I love my kids but this feels like too much,” this episode is for you.
