The Mindful Midlife Mom - Mindfulness Practices and Techniques for Mentally Exhausted Moms in the Sandwich Generation
Are you an overstretched midlife mom juggling kids and aging parents while feeling mentally exhausted and losing yourself in the process?
You're not alone in this overwhelming season. As someone currently living in the sandwich generation with my dad in assisted living while my kids are in school, I understand the unique burnout that comes from caring for everyone except yourself.
This show offers practical mindfulness tools specifically designed for moms navigating caregiving responsibilities while raising kids.
Tune in twice a week for:
- Sundays: 20-minute episodes addressing common midlife challenges with practical strategies plus a featured mindfulness practice (affirmations, mantras, or meditations)
- Wednesdays: Short guided practice sessions to reinforce Sunday's mindfulness technique and reset your week
These bite-sized practices fit into your chaotic schedule and help you show up as the calm, present mom you want to be.
Start with our fan-favorite Episode 97: "Midlife Slump? You Deserve Better— 'I Am' Affirmations for Self Worth" to begin transforming how you see yourself today.
