Medium Lady Talks: Burnout Recovery for Millennials and Mothers

[BONUS]: I’m Not Waiting Anymore: A Quiet Reflection for 2026

What if you didn’t end the year with a big goal — but with clarity?
In this quiet bonus episode closing out Season 5 of Medium Lady Talks, Erin shares a personal year-in-review reflection inspired by Laura Tremaine’s 10 Questions for the End of the Year. Rather than offering resolutions or strategies, this episode explores what happens when we stop waiting for permission, external validation, or the “right time” to move forward.
Erin reflects on her word for 2026 and what it means to live from inner authority instead of urgency. She unpacks three gentle but powerful realizations from the past year: why rescuing isn’t leadership, why depth matters more than speed, and why self-trust can be more radical than having a plan.
This episode is for anyone ending the year without a bold intention — and feeling oddly okay about it.
If you’re craving permission to slow down, listen inward, and trust yourself before chasing the next strategy, this conversation is for you.
What You’ll Hear in This Episode
What Erin chose as her word for 2026 — and what it actually means for her year ahead.
The hidden cost of being the rescuer at work, in family life, and in relationships
Choosing depth and rest without abandoning ambition
Letting go of urgency, perfectionism, and incomplete projects without self-judgment
Why self-trust can be more grounding than goal-setting
A compassionate reframe for listeners who feel unsure about what’s next
Notable Quotes
“I realized I’ve been waiting for something that doesn’t exist — permission, legitimacy, or other people catching up.”
“Rescuing isn’t leadership. Rising up without abandoning myself is.”
“I didn’t end this year with a strategy. I ended it with self-trust — and that feels more radical.”
“You’re not behind. You might just be listening to yourself on a new level.”
Who This Episode Is For
Burnt-out women and millennial mothers navigating ambition and rest
Listeners who feel pressure to set goals but crave something quieter
Anyone tired of hustle culture and performative self-improvement
Leaders, caregivers, and creatives who are ready to stop waiting for permission
Mentioned in This Episode
Laura Tremaine’s 10 Questions for the End of the Year reflection practice

The idea of “negotiating the timeline, not the result”
What to Do Next
If something resonated:
Sit with a word that stood out to you
Notice where you’re done rushing or rescuing
Ask yourself where you might trust yourself a little sooner
There’s no homework here — just space.

Episode 165 Walking Away from the Myth of the Superwoman with guest Dr. Nikia Smith

What happens when being “strong” stops working?
In this deeply affirming and practical conversation, Erin is joined by Dr. Nikia Smith — practicing anesthesiologist, wellness coach, and founder of She Is Fire Forged — to explore how the Superwoman myth quietly fuels burnout, especially for high-achieving women and women in healthcare.
Together, they unpack how resilience, people-pleasing, and productivity can become liabilities rather than strengths — and why rest is not something to earn, but something to prioritize before everything else.
This episode is for anyone who:
feels exhausted despite “doing everything right”
has built a good life but still feels depleted or disconnected
has been praised for being strong, capable, and reliable — at great personal cost
🧠 In This Episode, You’ll Hear About:
• The hidden cost of the Superwoman identity
Dr. Smith explains how being “the strong one” often masks chronic exhaustion, emotional suppression, and self-abandonment — particularly for women of color and women in caregiving professions.
• Burnout doesn’t always look like collapse
You can love your job, love your life, and still be burned out. Burnout often builds slowly — like a simmer — long before it reaches a breaking point.
• Why rest must come before boundaries
Many women struggle to set boundaries because they’re already depleted. Dr. Smith shares why beginning with rest builds the capacity and courage needed to sustain boundaries over time.
• The ‘simmer’ metaphor for catching burnout early
Instead of waiting for total collapse, this episode offers language for identifying irritability, restlessness, resentment, and exhaustion before burnout boils over.
• The difference between sleep and real rest
Sleep matters — but it’s not the whole picture. Emotional rest, creative rest, social rest, and physical rest all play distinct roles in recovery and sustainability.
• How identity work is central to burnout recovery
Burnout often forces the question: Who am I beyond my roles and titles? This episode explores how dismantling inherited expectations opens space for self-trust and agency.
🔄 Reframing Strength, Productivity, and Success
This conversation challenges the idea that:
rest must be earned
productivity defines worth
success looks the same for everyone
Instead, Erin and Dr. Smith explore how true sustainability often means:
adding friction at work
removing friction at home
offloading invisible labor
questioning “shoulds” that drain energy without adding meaning
You’ll also hear honest reflections on:
outsourcing household labor
redefining success based on values (not aesthetics)
letting go of guilt around support, rest, and ease
🌿 Key Takeaways
Burnout is not a personal failure — it’s often the result of social conditioning and moral injury
You don’t need confidence to make changes; courage is enough
Rest creates the capacity needed to move from survival to intention
You are allowed to want a life that feels good, not just one that looks successful
Strength doesn’t mean doing everything alone

Episode 164: Living the Life You Worked Hard to Build - Wrapping Phone Free Fall and Reflections on Winter Solstice

On the winter solstice — the darkest day of the year — Erin closes the Phone Free Fall series with a quiet, honest reflection on presence, capacity, and what it means to actually live inside the life you worked so hard to build.
This episode isn’t about advice, challenges, or optimizing your habits. It’s about noticing. About naming the ways we slip out of our own lives — into scrolling, distraction, and emotional distance — not because our lives are bad, but because they are full.
If you’ve felt restless, overstimulated, or disconnected even while living a life you once dreamed of, this episode offers orientation, not pressure. A reminder that real life isn’t something you get to later — it’s already happening, and you’re allowed to be inside it.
🧠 In This Episode, Erin Reflects On:
• Why Phone Free Fall was never about quitting your phone
This series was about noticing how often we leave our lives without realizing it — and gently choosing to come back.
• The paradox of living a “good” life and still wanting to escape it
Full lives are often heavy to inhabit. Phones offer distance and numbness, but not true restoration.
• How rest, capacity, and phone use are deeply connected
Even when we rest, our phones can quietly drain the capacity that rest is meant to restore.
• What listeners discovered when screen time went down
Pride, boredom, boredom with scrolling — and then a strange, honest sense of being lost. Not a failure, but a re-entry.
• Why winter — and the solstice in particular — asks us to stay, not optimize
This season invites inwardness, stillness, and tolerance for what feels unfinished or unresolved.
• The practice at the heart of Phone Free Fall
Not discipline. Not restriction. Just noticing when you leave your life — and when you come back.
❄️ A Winter Solstice Reframe
The solstice doesn’t ask us to improve or shine.It asks us to stay.
Just as the light returns slowly — almost imperceptibly — presence returns minute by minute. With each moment we’re less interrupted. With each moment we choose to be here.
💬 Key Takeaways
You’re not escaping your life because it’s bad — you’re escaping because it’s full
Distance from your phone isn’t the same as restoration, but it can create space for it
Boredom and quiet are not problems; they’re thresholds
Your real life isn’t waiting for you to feel better — it’s already happening
You’re allowed to live inside the life you built, even when it’s imperfect, slow, or overwhelming
Noticing is the practice
🌿 As Phone Free Fall Comes to a Close
As Erin wraps both Phone Free Fall and Season 5 of Medium Lady Talks, she invites listeners into a winter pause — one that makes room for quiet, reflection, and enoughness.
You don’t need to do this better.You don’t need more discipline.You just need to keep noticing.

Episode 163: When Phone Boundaries Bring Up Feelings (And What to Do About It)

You put your phone down.Your screen time went down.And instead of feeling calm or proud… you felt bored.Then scrolling felt boring too.And suddenly, you felt lost.
If that’s been your experience, this episode is for you.
In this Phone Free Fall conversation, Erin explores why setting phone boundaries can bring up unexpected emotions — and why feeling bored, unsettled, or untethered is not a sign you’re failing. It’s a sign that your nervous system is recalibrating.
This episode connects phone boundaries, emotional rest, and seasonal sensory grounding, helping you understand what’s happening in your body and how to stay supported without reaching for your phone again.
🧠 In This Episode, We Explore:
• Why phone boundaries often trigger emotions
Your phone hasn’t just been entertainment — it’s been a tool for emotional regulation. When you reduce screen time, the constant drip of distraction stops, and feelings finally have space to surface.
• Why boredom is a normal (and necessary) phase
Boredom isn’t emptiness. It’s a transition point between overstimulation and genuine interest. Feeling bored or “lost” doesn’t mean you need your phone back — it means your brain is adjusting.
• The emotional gap most digital wellness advice ignores
Lower stimulation doesn’t instantly feel better. It often feels unfamiliar, quiet, and disorienting. This episode names that gap so you don’t mistake it for failure.
• What emotional rest actually looks like
Emotional rest isn’t fixing your feelings, journaling perfectly, or staying positive. It’s letting emotions exist without immediately managing, numbing, or distracting from them.
• How to support yourself without scrolling
Erin shares gentle ways to stay regulated when phone boundaries bring up discomfort — including sensory grounding, seasonal rhythms, and body-based cues that don’t require more effort or discipline.
🍂 Seasonal Support: Staying Grounded Without Your Phone
This episode invites you to reconnect with sensory joys of the season as a way to support emotional rest, including:
warmth, light, and texture
slow, repetitive tasks (cooking, baking, tidying)
movement and fresh air
cozy, low-stakes rituals
noticing what feels comforting instead of productive
Winter already knows how to slow us down — we don’t need to force calm, just notice it.
💬 Key Takeaways
Feeling bored or lost after reducing screen time is normal
Your phone has been regulating your nervous system — replacing it gently matters
Emotional rest begins when we stop interrupting ourselves
You don’t need more discipline — you need more support
Phone Free Fall isn’t about quitting your phone; it’s about rebuilding tolerance for being with yourself
🧡 If This Episode Resonated
If this episode helped you make sense of how you’re feeling, consider sharing it with someone navigating phone boundaries too. And if you’re in the middle of Phone Free Fall, Erin would love to hear not just your screen time wins — but how it actually feels.

Episode 161: Who Knew Quitting My Phone Would Be This Hard! Here's What No One Tells you...

Cutting back your screen time should feel peaceful… right?Except when you actually try it, quitting your phone feels uncomfortable, emotional, and surprisingly hard.
In Episode 161, part of Phone Free Fall, I’m sharing a deeply honest four-to-six-week check-in on what it’s really like to change your relationship with your phone — including the withdrawal phase no one talks about, the “brain bargaining” that happens in the early weeks, and the surprising shifts that happen when your nervous system stops drinking from the firehose of five-second dopamine hits.

Together we explore:
✔️ What I actually changed (spoiler: nothing dramatic)✔️ The gap you have to fill when the phone goes down✔️ Why the first 2–3 weeks feel so uncomfortable✔️ The neuroscience of dopamine withdrawal✔️ How scrolling delivers stimulation, not satisfaction✔️ Why screen time may rise before it falls✔️ How creativity starts to re-inflate when input slows down✔️ The moments of “micro-boredom” that tug you back to your phone✔️ What I’m paying attention to next — including the emotional load–scrolling boomerang effect
If you’re trying to scroll less and live more, this episode will help you feel less alone in the messy middle — and more confident about what’s actually happening in your brain, your body, and your habits.

Episode 160: From Caregiver to Creator: The Restorative Power of Art with guest Jaime Townzen

In this episode of Medium Lady Talks, Erin sits down with watercolor artist and author Jaime Townzen for a heartfelt conversation about the shift from caregiving to creativity — and how making art became her most powerful source of rest.
Jaime shares her story of moving through years of intense caregiving, grief, and the emotional load of motherhood, and how a simple watercolor tutorial in 2020 opened the door to calm, grounding, and a renewed sense of self. Together, Erin and Jaime explore what it means to rest creatively, how small creative acts can quiet anxiety, and why giving ourselves 15 minutes with no “deliverable” can change our whole nervous system.
They also dig into the guilt so many women feel when trying to rest, the transition from parenting young kids to supporting aging loved ones, and how to spend less time on your phone by choosing slower, more intentional hobbies.
If you’ve ever said, “I wish I could paint,” or “I wish I had time to write,” this episode will meet you right where you are — and gently nudge you toward the creative practices your future self will thank you for.
Together, Erin and Jaime talk about:
How making art can regulate your nervous system
Why creative hobbies matter even if no one ever sees them
The guilt women feel when trying to rest
Navigating the shift from raising kids to caring for elders
Using creativity to spend less time on your phone
Letting go of perfectionism and embracing “just a piece of paper”
How small creative rituals can reconnect you to your identity
Key Takeaways
Creative rest doesn’t require talent — it requires time and permission.
Your first step isn’t “becoming an artist.” It’s sitting down.
A 15-minute hobby with no deliverable can completely shift your internal state.
Caring for others doesn’t mean losing yourself. Boundaries create wholeness.
Mindful phone use is tiring — and that’s why it reduces screen time naturally.

[REPOST] Episode 109: Medium Lady Unfiltered - Three Truths About Motherhood Content on TikTok and Instagram

In an effort to continue to rest while also hosting a podcast, I'm reposting an episode from the archives. This episode of Medium Lady Talks originally aired on July 11, 2024. Enjoy and new episodes will air next Monday!
_________
Hello, hi! Today’s episode is a first for the show: Medium Lady Rants? After being influenced by a few videos critiquing BookTok and the Beauty Influencer space it occurred to me that some of the problems in those spaces also exist in the motherhood content space. And I have a lot of thoughts about it! This episode is designed to give you some healthy skepticism about short form content that targets mothers, so you can avoid the shame and blame that can sometimes be triggered after a scroll session.
Episode Summary
Why do moms seek this kind of content in the first place? And why can it be harmful?
While we don’t need to call out or “cancel” any particular creator there are themes behind some of the content that is useful to pay attention to
I’ll talk about why I resisted embracing the “Mom” niche for so long
The “machine” of social media is not invested in our wellness at all - even if creators are doing their best to create intentional content
Ultimately, motherhood content on social media feels like it’s serving a need - if we’re aware of what those needs are we can be more mindful as we consume short form content. 
It’s crucial to remember that virality will always come before your mental health - and I’ll explain more about why this is the case.
What is rage baiting? And how does it work when it comes to short form content for mothers?
Remember your focus and attention is currency: creators will use your insecurities as the entry point to gain more of that currency as collateral you might find yourself being preyed upon for engagement.
I routinely reflect on the struggle I’ve experienced as a content creator to dabble with and mess around in some of the spaces that provide a straighter path to growth and virality and the cost of that would be my personal desire to help people and leave my audience better than when they found me.
Awareness of how this content can leave you in a shame and blame spiral is only good if it compels you to take ACTION - I’ll share my suggestions for how you can bring mindfulness and digital habits to your consumption of short form content (it’s easy I promise)
