When You’re Tired of Adulting and Everything Feels Too Much

Do you ever feel like the universe is throwing everything at you all at once? Like you’re one stubbed toe away from losing it? You're not alone. In this episode of Mucked Up My Self-Care, Jill and Linda open up about those "I can't adult today" moments we all have but rarely talk about. From PMS-induced rage to the tiny wins of watching our kids grow, we unpack the real, raw, and ridiculously messy parts of motherhood and life.

We’re not here with perfect answers—we’re in it with you. So grab a cup of tea (or lock yourself in the bathroom for five minutes of peace) and let’s chat about what self-care looks like when you're totally mucked up.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why it’s okay (and sometimes necessary) to declare, “I’m not the preferred parent today.”
• How to honor your emotional bandwidth—especially around your cycle.
• What real-time self-care looks like in the middle of parenting chaos.
• How tiny moments of connection with your kids can be nourishing, even if nothing else is.
• Why sometimes adulting means letting go of routine and just being present.
• A practical way to build a “Too-Tired-To-Think” self-care checklist for rough days.

You don’t have to have it all figured out. The messy days, the tears behind closed doors, the moments you snap and then repair—they’re all part of this wild, holy work of motherhood. Let this episode remind you that you're not failing—you’re just human. And on the days when it feels like too much, that’s when you need your village the most.
