Episode Title:

Gratitude Isn’t Rest: What Moms Really Need This Week

Episode Description:

In this bonus Thanksgiving episode of Flourish Unfiltered: Ending Exhaustion for Working Moms, we’re rethinking the pressure moms feel to be “grateful and cheerful” while secretly drowning in hosting stress, travel chaos, emotional labor, and nonstop overgiving.

Because here’s the truth:

Gratitude does not replace rest — and it never will.

And if you’re exhausted heading into the holiday week, it’s not because you’re ungrateful…

It’s because you’re overloaded.

Inside this episode, we’re digging into:

The real reason moms collapse after the holidays (it’s not the food — it’s the invisible workload)

Why your nervous system needs more restoration, not more positive thinking

How hosting, traveling, schedules, sensory overload, and emotional caregiving push moms into burnout

What “holiday survival mode” does to your metabolism, hormones, and energy

How to protect your bandwidth without guilt

Why giving yourself permission to pause is the most loving thing you can do for your family

This episode is a deep exhale for every mom who feels stretched thin and emotionally responsible for everyone’s holiday experience.

---

✨ Flourish Step:

Schedule one 10-minute “YOU break” every day this week.

A reset that includes quiet, stillness, warmth, breath, or a moment of being unneeded.

Because this week will be higher stress — and you need a bigger recovery tool to match it.

Episode Title:

When Rest Feels Impossible: The Nervous System Side of Exhaustion

---

Episode Description:

In this episode of Flourish Unfiltered: Ending Exhaustion for Working Moms, we’re breaking down why so many moms can’t relax — even when they finally get a moment to themselves.

If slowing down feels harder than staying busy… if your brain speeds up the moment your body slows down… if rest feels unsafe, confusing, or even guilt-inducing… this episode explains why.

We’ll cover:

• Why the nervous system makes rest feel unsafe

• What “functional freeze” looks like in everyday mom life

• How elevated cortisol keeps your body stuck in survival mode

• Why exhaustion is not a mindset issue — it’s a safety issue

• Simple, realistic tools to retrain your body to rest again

✨ Flourish Step: Practice “Micro-Safety.”

Choose one moment each day that signals safety — not productivity.

This might be a 60-second breathing pause, finishing a meal without multitasking, or a 5-minute walk without your phone.

You’re teaching your nervous system: “It’s okay to exhale again.”

🎧 Episode 10 — Holiday Hormones: Why You Feel Tired, Wired & Guilty — and How to Get Your Energy Back

Description:

You know that moment in December when everything should feel magical — the lights, the laughter, the cinnamon in the air — but your body feels like it’s running on fumes? You tell yourself to push through, but deep down you’re tired, wired, and guilty for not feeling more grateful.

This episode is your permission slip to stop blaming yourself and start understanding the chemistry behind your exhaustion. We’ll break down how the holiday season hijacks your hormones, what’s really going on with your metabolism and nervous system, and how to bring your body back to safety and peace — before the chaos even starts.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

💫 Why holidays secretly hijack your metabolism and energy

💫 The guilt loop: rest vs. productivity and why you can’t win it by pushing harder

💫 How cortisol flips your energy rhythm — and how to flip it back

💫 Why emotional eating isn’t lack of discipline — it’s a nervous system cry for rest

💫 4 simple metabolism-healing shifts to keep your energy stable through the holidays

Key Takeaways:

Your exhaustion isn’t laziness — it’s chemistry.

The holiday “hustle” keeps your cortisol stuck in fight-or-flight mode.

You can feel peace and productivity this season by setting energy boundaries and rebalancing your blood sugar rhythm.

When you regulate cortisol, you regulate energy — and when you regulate energy, everything feels easier.

Flourish Step:

✨ Choose one way to create safety before the chaos begins — whether it’s a breakfast ritual, a non-negotiable walk in the sun, or saying “no” once a week.

🎧 Episode 9: The Hormone That Quietly Controls Everything — Cortisol 101 for Exhausted Working Moms

Episode Description:

You’ve heard cortisol called “the stress hormone,” but few women realize it’s actually the hormone that quietly controls everything — from your energy and mood to metabolism, cravings, and even sleep.

In this deeper-dive episode, Misty breaks down Cortisol 101: what cortisol really does, how chronic stress dysregulates it, and how you can restore your natural rhythm to finally feel grounded, focused, and alive again.

This is the missing link between exhaustion, stubborn weight, and the feeling that your body just isn’t cooperating — and it’s also the first key to true metabolic healing.

✨ Flourish Step: Add one safety signal to your day — a short walk, deep breathing, or eating without multitasking. Your body heals through safety, not force.
