The Mom Panel -- Mom Burnout: Moms Reclaiming Their Mental Health
In this episode of The Mom Panel, Jackie is joined by Tiesha and Michelle for a real, unfiltered conversation about self-care—and what it actually looks like in the chaos of motherhood.
Together, the panel dives into the emotional and mental weight mothers carry, especially in the postpartum phase.

From navigating mental health to journaling, scheduling alone time, and honoring your own emotional needs, this episode offers relatable stories and practical tips.
Jackie shares reflections on her personal struggles and breakthroughs as a mom, while Michelle opens up about the tension between ambition and burnout. Tiesha offers wisdom on boundaries, self-awareness, and the intentional effort it takes to stay grounded while wearing so many hats.
Whether you’re a stay-at-home mom, a working mom, or somewhere in between, this episode is a reminder that caring for yourself is not a luxury—it’s survival.
