Feeling Overwhelmed and Close to Burnout

I can see you're feeling overwhelmed and like you’re barely keeping up, but please know you’re not alone. Many mums experience this heavy load—where patience feels thin, anxiety creeps in, and where there's just no time for you so your needs come last.

As a therapist, I often see how this ongoing stress affects not just energy levels, but also relationships and overall wellbeing. This is why early intervention matters so much.

Small changes and gentle support can make a real difference before burnout takes hold.

The important thing is admitting to yourself at this stage that you need some help. It's impossible to do it all, and often the first step to lasting change is just reaching out and letting others see that you're human.

You also need to start thinking about yourself. We're conditioned as mums to be nurturing and giving, but the very best gift you can give your kids is to start taking care of yourself. Even is that's just a simple act of saying no to something you don't actually want to do, taking 5-15 minutes for yourself a day, these small steps can make a big difference. Being a mum in this modern crazy world isn't easy, so just know, you're probably doing way better than you think :)

Managing, but Looking for More Balance

You’re doing a lot right lady, and you’re holding things together well. But you can probably feel overwhelmed at times too. That feeling of sometimes being on edge, juggling everything, and wondering how to put yourself first isn’t unusual.

Balanced and Practicing Self-Care (or Almost There)

Wow — you’re doing an amazing job! You’ve got some great coping strategies and are prioritising your needs (which is so important).

So even though you're doing a great job at holding it all together, nothing is easy all of the time, and modern motherhood can be a lot. So if at any stage you begin to feel overwhelmed, come back to what you might need or what's missing for you,
