Did you know that more than three quarters (76%) of employed Americans report they are currently experiencing burnout? It’s a huge problem in the work place, but let’s be honest...moms experience burnout too. Whether you're a working mom, a stay at home mom, or a work from home mom, it’s all hard. It’s just not studied as much. It’s also true that women are more likely to experience burnout than men - 80% vs 72% - but I’m not sure that’s a big surprise as women often feel more household responsibilities fall to them in addition to paid or unpaid responsibilities. Burnout is more common than we realize and it’s important to talk about it so people know they are not alone. We frequently hear people talking about stress and overwhelm and while overwhelm can go with both burnout and stress the way we react to both is different. No matter who you are and what your work situation is like, we are all bound to face negative feelings, stress, overwhelm, and potentially burnout at some point in our lives.
