Episode 2853: Jenny Lee explores the silent crisis many mothers face: the erasure of personal identity under the weight of parenthood.

Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.hellobrio.com/blog/burnout Quotes to ponder: "It's not okay for us to say, 'It's tough, and I think I made a huge mistake becoming a parent.'" "Self-care should be your baseline: Get your full night's sleep, and exercise regularly." "In rediscovering your sense of identity, you will be a better mother. A better employee. A happier, more well-rounded person." Episode references: Untamed by Glennon Doyle: https://www.amazon.com/Untamed-Glennon-Doyle/dp
