Are you an overstretched midlife mom juggling teenagers and aging parents while feeling mentally exhausted and losing yourself in the process?
You're not alone in this overwhelming season. As someone currently living in the sandwich generation with my dad in assisted living while my kids are in school, I understand the unique burnout that comes from caring for everyone except yourself.
This show offers practical mindfulness tools specifically designed for moms navigating caregiving responsibilities while raising kids.

These bite-sized practices fit into your chaotic schedule and help you show up as the calm, present mom you want to be.
