Are You Drowning in the Mental Load of Motherhood?

Your brain runs a hundred miles an hour from the moment you wake up.

There’s an endless to-do list that only seems to grow. You’re constantly worrying about what’s not done—groceries, school events, work deadlines, playdates, and bills. You’re trying to keep everything together, but you’re feeling like you’re getting pulled under by all the responsibilities.

Sound familiar?

You’re not alone.

80% of mothers feel overwhelmed, largely due to the societal pressure to "do it all"—managing work, childcare, and household duties without sufficient support.

AnD - just because it’s common - it doesn’t mean you have to suffer.

Sure, you’ve tried the lists, the apps, and strong-arming yourself into getting it all done. But it hasn’t worked without burning you out in the process. There’s just too much to keep up with!

The Real Issue Isn’t You—It’s Your nervous system

It’s not that you’re bad at managing your time or failing to keep up. The truth is, when everything is swirling around in your head, it becomes impossible for your brain to separate what’s urgent from what’s important. It’s like trying to juggle a hundred things blindfolded—no wonder it feels overwhelming.

When your nervous system is in overdrive, constantly reacting instead of making intentional choices, it’s not about productivity or willpower anymore—it’s about survival mode. At this point, your brain is flooded with tasks, responsibilities, and emotional labor, and that’s why it becomes so hard to keep your cool with your kids, or find the energy to take care of yourself. You’re not failing; you’ve simply depleted your resources just trying to keep everything moving.

Overwhelm isn’t a sign that you need to do more or be more efficient; it’s a signal that you’re carrying too much at once. The solution isn’t to do everything better, but to make space for what really matters right now.

By relieving your mental load, you allow your nervous system to reset, giving you the space to make intentional choices about where to focus your energy. This is how you regain control—not by doing more, but by doing what truly matters most.

Frazzled to Focused - The Clarity Strategy for Ambitious moms

Go from feeling overloaded with your weekly demands to having a clear, manageable strategy that gives you back control over your mental and emotional load. This isn’t just another to-do list—this is a roadmap that empowers you to tackle your daily challenges with confidence and ease.

How It WORKS:

Phase 1: Clear the Chaos

Before we begin, you’ll complete pre-work designed to help you get clarity on your current mental load. We’ll break down what’s on your plate and reflect on how you tend to react when overwhelmed. This will give you a sense of where to focus when we dive deeper.

Phase 2: Custom Action Mapping

In our 60-minute clarity session, we’ll map out your overwhelm and break it into manageable components. Together, we’ll create a strategy to address your top priorities and introduce emotional regulation tools to ensure your actions are sustainable.

You’ll receive a post-session email with key takeaways and a roadmap of next steps so you’re fully supported in making real progress.

Phase 3: Overcome Roadblocks

A week later, we’ll have a 30-minute follow-up session to review your progress and fine-tune your plan. We’ll troubleshoot any challenges, adjust your strategy, and ensure you have the tools to continue creating space and relief.

Let’s get you feeling like you can breathe again.

Imagine this:

  • Your to-do list is organized, and you know what to focus on each day without feeling overwhelmed.

  • You’ve set up systems that allow you to stay on top of things without the mental exhaustion.

  • You’re more present with your kids and partner, and

  • You’ve even carved out moments for yourself—whether it’s a quiet coffee in the morning or a few minutes of peace before bed.

I’m a fellow mom of two who’s always thrived on taking on challenges and making the impossible possible. It felt like I could do anything I set my mind to—until motherhood. Suddenly, my time and energy weren’t fully my own anymore, constantly shaped by the evolving needs of my kids, family, and career. I quickly realized that the skills that had once helped me juggle everything before motherhood no longer felt like enough.

As a certified trauma-informed coach, I created this clarity roadmap because I know firsthand what it’s like to balance work, parenting, and life without wanting to lose sight of yourself. The truth is, the problem isn’t our ability to manage—it’s the unsustainable mental load we’re carrying without the right support structures in place.

This roadmap is actionable and practical, designed to respect the nuances of mom life. While we can’t shift the context of motherhood overnight in a climate of patriarchy, capitalism, shifting gender roles, and women’s rights, we can create a strategy that helps us live—and not just survive. This is where your clarity roadmap comes in, to give you the tools and space to navigate all of it with more ease.

Hi! I’m Austeja.

It’s not about waiting for the perfect moment—it’s about creating space and finding clarity now.

I’m sure by this point, you’re tired of being tired. It might seem like things will get easier when your kids are older, but while you wait for life to slow down, time is passing. You’ve mastered so many things in life, and that same potential exists for motherhood too.
