Are you a mom running on empty? You’re not alone.
In this episode, Candace sits down with Kim Anderson — licensed therapist and founder of Elevate Moms — to have the honest conversation every exhausted mom needs to hear.
Kim breaks down why mom burnout goes so much deeper than just being tired. It’s the bone-deep depletion, the emotional disconnection from the people you love most, and the sneaky ways society’s “do it all” expectations — combined with our own people-pleasing tendencies — quietly drain us dry.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- How to spot the early warning signs of burnout before it hits rock bottom
- Why setting boundaries isn’t selfish — it’s survival
- How finding the right mom community can be a total game-changer
- What EMDR therapy is and how healing old wounds can make you a more present, peaceful mom
Whether you’re in the thick of the chaos or just starting to feel the cracks, this episode meets you where you are — with zero judgment and real tools you can actually use.
