86. Heidi’s YES Story - The Burnt Out Mumma Who Chose Herself
What happens when you finally realise that just 'doing what needs to be done' in life isn’t working anymore? That was the moment our guest, Heidi, reached her own Big YES, the moment she recognised burnout for what it really was, and chose to do something about it.
In this episode, we chat with Heidi about how she learned to spot the signs of burnout, the exhaustion that no amount of sleep could fix, the irritability, the loss of joy, and how that awareness became the spark for a completely new way of being.
Heidi shares how her own journey through burnout inspired her to create The Burnt Out Mumma Retreat, a 7-day, one-on-one space designed especially for mums to rest, reset, and rediscover themselves. She opens up about the real conversations that take place before saying yes to something like this, the inner dialogue, the guilt, the logistics, and the deep desire underneath it all for peace and presence.
We explore what burnout really sounds like in a mum’s world, the constant doing, the invisible load, the ache for space, and what shifts when you finally make yourself the priority.
Heidi also walks us through what her retreat experience looks like, from the calm, nurturing setting to the personalised support that helps women reconnect with who they are beyond the overwhelm.
This episode is for every mum who’s ever whispered, “I can’t keep doing this.” It’s a reminder that saying yes to yourself might just start with admitting you’re tired and giving yourself permission to step out for a moment and rest.
