Ep. 194 When You’re Running on Empty: Mom Rage, Self-Care & Finding Breathing Room
Everyone tells moms to practice self-care. Get more sleep. Eat better. Take a break. But what happens when taking care of yourself becomes just another thing on an already overwhelming to-do list?
In this HER+ Expert Roundtable, we're exploring the connection between realistic self-care, creating more breathing room, and preventing mom rage. When you're juggling everyone's needs and running on empty, even the smallest thing can feel like the final straw.
Our experts discuss why traditional self-care advice can leave moms feeling guilty or inadequate, and what meaningful care looks like in real life. From taking a brief mom timeout and finding small moments of calm to prioritizing nourishment, sleep, and boundaries, we'll explore practical ways to care for yourself without adding more pressure.
As the final episode in our Mom Rage series, this conversation brings together the bigger picture of what can contribute to mom rage and what moms need to feel more supported. Because mom rage isn't always a sign that you're doing something wrong. Unmet needs, limited support, sensory overload, and chronic stress can all contribute to feeling like you're at your breaking point.
In this episode, you'll learn:
Why self-care can sometimes make moms feel worse and how to let go of perfectionistic expectations.
How to create space between a trigger and an explosion with simple, realistic ways to pause and recenter.
How building more margin can help prevent mom rage by recognizing unmet needs, reducing pressure, and making room for rest and support.
You don't need another impossible standard to live up to. You deserve care that meets you where you are and reminds you that your needs matter, too.
Tune in for the final conversation in our Mom Rage series, and a compassionate reminder that caring for yourself isn't selfish—it's part of being human.
