“Everything goes to shit when I leave”: Why Moms Struggle to Let Go

This episode is for the moms who’ve ever thought, “It’s just easier if I do it myself.” We’re unpacking the resentment, the martyrdom, and the tension between trusting others and wanting to scream when your baby didn’t nap, the bottle was left out, or bedtime went off the rails. We talk about the mental load it takes just to leave the house — the prepping, the guilt, the micromanaging — and why it’s so hard to let go, even when we truly want the break. From weeknight date nights (and why 5:30pm is the sweet spot) to learning how to ask and accept help without shame, this one is all about redefining what support actually looks like — and letting it in. We’re also sharing the systems and organization tricks that keep our households running smoothly — including the whiteboard we use to keep everyone aligned, communicate clearly, and avoid the last-minute chaos.
