If you’ve ever looked at a picture of yourself and thought, “I don’t even recognize her anymore…” this episode is for you.

In this powerful conversation, I’m joined by Scottie Durrett, host of the MOMPLEX Podcast, board-certified coach, and mom of three, who went from collapsing on the floor with a laundry basket in her hands to rebuilding her life, energy, and identity on her terms.

We talk about the soul-deep exhaustion so many ambitious, high-capacity moms are carrying, the kind that isn’t fixed by one good night of sleep or another cup of coffee. Scottie breaks down how we slowly abandon ourselves in motherhood, why “living for your kids” is quietly draining you, and what it looks like to start living with them instead.

If you’re an overwhelmed mom navigating burnout, mom-guilt, and the pressure to “have it all together,” this episode will feel like an exhale.

In this episode, we unpack:

• How women lose themselves in motherhood without even noticing, until they wake up one day feeling flat, numb, and disconnected
• The truth about mom burnout: why your exhaustion is not just physical, it’s soul-deep
• The “laundry basket epiphany” moment that woke Scottie up to how far she’d abandoned herself
• Why ignoring headaches, insomnia, brain fog and emotional breakdowns is your body begging you to listen
• The shift from living for your kids to living with your kids and why that one reframe changes everything
• How people-pleasing, martyrdom, and the badge of exhaustion are keeping moms stuck in resentment and depletion
• Why hyper-independence (“I can do it all myself”) is actually a trauma pattern, not a personality trait
• Practically rebuilding your life from the ground up using basic needs: sleep, food, hydration, nervous system regulation
• What it looks like to start asking for help and receiving support without guilt or shame
• How comparison and social media feed the pressure to be the “perfect mom” (homemade baby food, curated life, etc.) and how to step off that hamster wheel
• Scottie’s analogy of you as a Ferrari running on unleaded and what it means to finally give yourself premium fuel
• The daily question that brings you back to yourself: “What do I need today?”
• Scottie’s closing wisdom: tune in for your answers before you tune out and look to everyone else
