Show Notes
If you wake up feeling exhausted before the day even really starts, this episode is for you.
In this episode of Mom Brain Unplugged, we’re talking about decision fatigue — the invisible mental exhaustion that comes from making hundreds of choices every single day as a mom. From what to wear, to what to eat, to who needs what and when, the constant decision-making quietly drains your energy and contributes to overwhelm, stress, and burnout.
This conversation isn’t about fixing yourself or becoming more disciplined. It’s about understanding why you feel so tired — and how to gently reduce the mental load without adding more to your plate.
In this episode, we cover:
What decision fatigue actually is and why it hits moms so hard
Why feeling exhausted doesn’t mean you’re lazy or unmotivated
How constant micro-decisions drain your mental and emotional energy
The connection between decision fatigue, overwhelm, and routines
Simple, realistic ways to reduce decision load and reclaim mental space
This episode is a reminder that you don’t need to do more — you need fewer decisions competing for your energy.
