A woman sits on the floor with her head resting on her knees in a room cluttered with toys, experiencing mommy burnout. A baby is crawling nearby, surrounded by colorful toys. A white and black inflatable zebra toy is visible in the foreground. The background includes toy shelves and scattered items.


Today, I’m chatting with Jennifer Blossom, a boy mom of two, occupational therapist, host of another excellent mom podcast called The Blossoming Mommy and Baby Show, as well as the CEO and Founder of Blossoming Mommy and Baby — a digital wellness brand that helps overwhelmed moms simplify motherhood. Jennifer is passionate about helping moms create a simpler, less chaotic, and more meaningful motherhood experience. This is why she is the perfect guest to talk about mommy burnout. I feel like this topic has been discussed a little bit more recently, but what is mommy burnout? How common is it, and what can you do to help yourself from feeling burnout? Jennifer is breaking it all down for us and answering our questions.
