Giving Until It Hurts | The Overextended Mom Mini Series - Part 2
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In Part 1 of The Overextended Mom mini-series, we talked about being booked solid and how overscheduling has become the norm for so many moms. Today, we are taking it a step deeper.
This episode is about what happens when giving stops feeling generous and starts to hurt.
So many moms are giving their time, energy, patience, and emotional labor without ever stopping to ask if they actually have anything left. We show up, we help, we volunteer, we support, and we carry it all. Often without realizing how depleted we have become.
In this conversation, we talk about the invisible ways moms give, why it can be so hard to recognize when giving has crossed into self abandonment, and the quiet resentment that can build when our needs are always last. We unpack the guilt that keeps us stuck in this cycle and why loving your family deeply can still coexist with feeling exhausted and overwhelmed.
This episode is not about fixing it yet. It is about naming the truth, validating the hurt, and understanding that if you are tired, frustrated, or running on empty, there is nothing wrong with you.
If you have ever thought, “I love my people, but I have nothing left to give,” this episode is for you.
Stay tuned for Part 3, Just Say No, where we will talk about boundaries, reclaiming your time, and learning how to give without losing yourself in the process.
We'd love to hear from you! Reach out to us.
