Well, mamas. Life has been lifing.

This one is longer and more honest than usual. I took on one more thing than I had room for, and my body let me know. Less sleep, food that was not fueling me, no movement. Three weeks later I had my first panic attack in fifteen years.

In this episode I talk about what it looked like to keep showing up for Korbin when I could not access my favorite self, why I asked for a replacement at a job I genuinely loved, and how Kelton stepped in the way only he does.

I also share what Mama Pause has done for me lately, because I built it for me and I have been using it for me. Plus three stories from mamas inside it: the mama of three who had everyone asleep before nine, the mama who uses the breathing at work without pressing play, and the morning Korbin climbed into his car seat all by himself.

Here is what I keep coming back to. When I cannot be my favorite self right now, how close can I get?
