How do I prevent burnout as a working mom?

Ask Dr. Julie Hanks

In this episode I talk with DJ and answer the question, “How do I prevent burnout as a working mom?” DJ is finishing up her maternity leave, and she feels nervous about going back to work. There is so much on her plate, and it feels like something needs to be deprioritized as she re-enters the workspace. The only problem is, there isn’t anything that can be pushed to the side.

I ask DJ how she and her husband share responsibilities at home and advise her to have a conversation with her husband about division of labor. When they’re both home, it’s okay to expect him to do 50% of the work that needs to get done. DJ is going to be working full-time hours; it’s not realistic for her to be in charge of everything at home.
