Welcome to Part 3 of The Overextended Mom mini series.

In Part 1, Booked Solid, we looked at how our calendars became packed and why overscheduling feels normal. In Part 2, Giving Until It Hurts, we unpacked the emotional weight of constantly pouring out for everyone else.

Now it is time for the shift.

This episode is about reclaiming your time, your energy, and your peace. We are talking about why saying no feels so hard, where the guilt comes from, and how overextending ourselves has quietly become a badge of honor in motherhood.

You can love your family deeply and still need boundaries.

You can be dependable and still say no.

You can care and still choose yourself.

In this episode, we explore how to start small, how to navigate the discomfort that follows, and how modeling healthy limits can change not only your life but your children’s as well.

This is the episode where we stop glorifying exhaustion and start choosing alignment.

Because the goal is not to do more.

It is to live better.

In Part 1 of The Overextended Mom mini-series, we talked about being booked solid and how overscheduling has become the norm for so many moms. Today, we are taking it a step deeper.

This episode is about what happens when giving stops feeling generous and starts to hurt.

So many moms are giving their time, energy, patience, and emotional labor without ever stopping to ask if they actually have anything left. We show up, we help, we volunteer, we support, and we carry it all. Often without realizing how depleted we have become.

In this conversation, we talk about the invisible ways moms give, why it can be so hard to recognize when giving has crossed into self abandonment, and the quiet resentment that can build when our needs are always last. We unpack the guilt that keeps us stuck in this cycle and why loving your family deeply can still coexist with feeling exhausted and overwhelmed.

This episode is not about fixing it yet. It is about naming the truth, validating the hurt, and understanding that if you are tired, frustrated, or running on empty, there is nothing wrong with you.

If you have ever thought, “I love my people, but I have nothing left to give,” this episode is for you.

Stay tuned for Part 3, Just Say No, where we will talk about boundaries, reclaiming your time, and learning how to give without losing yourself in the process.

Being booked solid does not always mean life is working. In this first episode of our new mini series, The Overextended Mom, we are talking about overscheduling and how it slowly drains the joy, energy, and connection out of motherhood.

What often starts with good intentions can turn into packed calendars, rushed mornings, endless commitments, and the constant feeling of being behind. From kids’ activities and family obligations to the invisible planning and mental load that usually lands on moms, overscheduling can quietly take over every part of life.

In Booked Solid, we explore how full schedules affect our nervous systems, our relationships, and our ability to actually be present. We talk about the guilt that shows up when we consider slowing down, the fear of letting our kids miss out, and the pressure to keep saying yes even when we are already stretched thin.

This episode is not about blame or doing more. It is about noticing the cost of always being busy and giving yourself permission to question whether the pace you are keeping still serves you and your family.

This is Part 1 of The Overextended Mom mini series. In Part 2, we will talk about giving too much. In Part 3, we will focus on learning how to say no without guilt.

If your calendar feels full but your cup feels empty, this conversation is for you.

We love our kids. Deeply. Fiercely. Would do absolutely anything for them.

And sometimes... they give us the ick.

In this episode, we are talking about the things our kids do that make our eyes twitch and our nervous system short-circuit for a moment. Not because we do not adore them, but because parenting older kids brings a whole new level of sensory overload.

From questionable hygiene choices and mysterious smells to loud noises, zero personal space, and habits that make you whisper “please stop” through clenched teeth, this conversation is honest, funny, and very real.

This episode is a reminder that holding love and irritation at the same time does not make you a bad mom. It makes you human. Sometimes laughter is the best way to release the guilt, the overwhelm, and the overstimulation that comes with raising growing humans.

If you have ever thought, “I love you so much… and also please don’t touch me right now,” this one is for you.

Pull up a chair, laugh with us, and remember you are not alone in This Flocked Up Life.

This week, Becky is flying solo to talk about something so many moms feel but rarely say out loud — somewhere along the way, the magic of the holidays stopped belonging to us. We became the makers of the magic instead of the ones who get to feel it.

But what if this year could be different?

It's time to reclaim the wonder, the joy, and the childlike excitement you used to feel when the lights went up, the cookies baked, and the whole world felt softer and sparkly.

Inside, we explore:

• Letting go of the pressure to make every tradition perfect

• Reframing the “have to” list into a “want to savor” list

• Creating magic that fits this season of life, not past ones

• How choosing joy (even in tiny ways) shifts your whole home

• The power of slowing down and letting yourself be present

• Simple ways to reconnect with your inner child and feel wonder again

• Why you deserve the magic just as much as your kids do

This episode is your gentle reminder that the most magical time of year isn’t just for them, it’s for you too. You’re allowed to savor the moment, laugh big, let things be imperfect, and choose joy every single day.

In this solo episode, Lacey shares a fresh Thanksgiving perspective that every mom needs to hear. This season can feel overwhelming, emotional, and full of shifting traditions, but it can also be a time to slow down, soften, and make space for change.

From rewriting holiday expectations to honoring new family dynamics, Lacey opens up about what it feels like when long-standing traditions no longer fit and new ones begin to take shape. She talks about choosing joy, embracing change, and giving yourself permission to say no to what drains you and yes to what nourishes you.

We also explore gratitude in a way that goes far beyond the cliché. Think grounding, nervous-system soothing, perspective-shifting gratitude that actually makes life feel lighter. Plus, Lacey shares a new practice she has adopted this season, the power of slowing down, and gentle journal prompts to help you reconnect with yourself as fall turns to winter.

If the holidays feel different this year, if old traditions feel tight, or if you are craving a more intentional rhythm, this episode will meet you right where you are. You deserve a season that feels good to your soul.

Come take a breath with us.

We’re wrapping up our Perimenopause Mini-Series with hope, honesty, and real solutions.

In Part 3, The Road Ahead, we’re shifting from surviving to thriving. This episode is all about what you can actually do to feel better in your body, mind, and spirit as you move through perimenopause. From understanding your hormones to reclaiming your energy, finding emotional balance, and preparing the next generation—we’re breaking down what it really means to take back control.

If you’ve ever thought, “I don’t feel like myself anymore,” this conversation will help you reconnect to the woman you’re becoming. You are not broken. You’re evolving.

Listen in as we talk about:

• Real lifestyle shifts that support hormonal balance
• Emotional health and nervous system regulation
• How to reclaim your identity and confidence
• Preparing our daughters for a future of honesty and empowerment

You’re not alone in this journey, and it doesn’t have to be so heavy. Let’s move forward together—with more awareness, ease, and compassion.

Welcome back to our Perimenopause Mini-Series! In Part 2, we’re diving into the fresh new hell of it all: the mood swings, the brain fog, the night sweats, and the “I swear I’m losing my mind” moments.

If you’ve ever found yourself crying one minute, rage-cleaning the next, and questioning everything in between, this one’s for you. We’re getting honest (and a little unhinged) about what it really feels like to live through perimenopause — the symptoms no one told us about, the emotions that don’t make sense, and the deep sigh of relief that comes from realizing you’re not crazy.

In Part 3, we’ll wrap up this series by focusing on what comes next: how to care for ourselves, find support, and make sure the next generation doesn’t walk this road alone.

So grab a cold drink (you’ll need it), and let’s get into it.
