Burnt Out, Overwhelmed and Running on Empty? Listen to This.
Sobre este episodio
On paper, Maria Hatzistefanis had everything she had worked for. A hugely successful business, a loving family and a life many people would envy. But behind the success, she was burnt out, running on empty and wondering why she didn't feel happier.<p></p>In this powerful Moment, Maria shares the turning point that made her realise something had to change. She opens up about the reality of juggling work and family life, the pressure of always being the organiser, and why joy isn't something that simply arrives when we achieve enough - it's something we have to intentionally create space for.<p></p>Maria shares the routines, boundaries and practices that helped her move from surviving to feeling more present, connected and in control. From scheduling "me time" with the same importance as a work meeting to discovering meditation, breathwork and moments of stillness, this conversation is a reminder that our wellbeing deserves a place in the diary too.If you've ever felt exhausted despite having a life that looks good from the outside, or wondered why success doesn't automatically lead to happiness, this episode is for you.<p></p><strong>💡 In this Moment, you'll learn:</strong><ul><li><p>Why success doesn't always lead to fulfilment</p></li></ul><ul><li><p>The hidden signs of burnout many mothers ignore</p></li></ul><ul><li><p>How to create more joy and presence in everyday life</p></li></ul><ul><li><p>Why scheduling time for yourself is essential, not selfish</p></li></ul><ul><li><p>How breathwork, meditation and spirituality can help restore your energy</p></li></ul><ul><li><p>Practical ways to feel more in control when life feels overwhelming</p></li></ul><p><strong>Loved this episode?</strong></p><strong>Watch every full episode on </strong><a href="https://www.youtube.com/@Zoe-Blaskey"><strong>YouTube</strong></a><strong> and subscribe. </strong><p>Follow or subscribe so you never miss an episode of Motherkind.
