Listen "78. Burnout, Motherhood & the Comeback: Her Story of Rising Again w Caroline McGraw"
Episode Synopsis
This week on the Podcast, we sit down with a woman who has lived what so many of us are afraid to admit out loud: sometimes being strong, ambitious, and capable comes with a cost.Our guest is a mom of five, has a BA in Marketing, an MBA and a law degree, and a realtor of 10+ years. She’s someone who has always been deeply involved in her community—serving on boards, running businesses, raising kids, playing sports and building a life.But in 2024, everything caught up to her.Burnout hit. Hard.She isolated. She shut down. She felt shame—both as a woman and as a mother—for not being able to “push through.”And then?She rebuilt.Today, she shares what burnout really looks like for high-achieving women… the subtle signs we ignore… and the moment she knew she couldn’t keep going the way she was.We talk about:The pressure to “do it all” as self-employed momsHow burnout and depression creep in quietlyWhy isolation feels like “failure” — and why it’s not What it took for her to recover (and what DIDN’T work)The 5AM routine that changed everything How she’s approaching 2026 with a completely new mindsetThe role community, support, and honest conversations play in healingShe’s vibrant again. Energized. Present. Building a life on her own terms.And she’s one of our members — walking the talk in the most grounded, inspiring way.This episode is a reminder that slowing down isn’t weakness. Rest isn’t quitting. And every woman—especially those carrying multiple roles—deserves to come home to herself again.If you’ve been feeling stretched thin, overwhelmed, or disconnected… this conversation will feel like a deep breath.Find her on Facebook at: Caroline McGraw Find us on Instagram: Itsyourtimecoachingitsrenee.a and paula_mhFind us on Facebook: It's Your Time Mindset Coachingwww.startitsyourtime.com
