157: Why so many high-achieving moms feel exhausted with Dr. Anne Welsh

Get ready for an amazing conversation with Dr. Anne Welsh, a psychologist, executive coach, working mother, and the author of the upcoming book, Ambitious Mother: From Surviving to Thriving in Your Career and at Home (Bloomsbury, 8/6/26).

As a mother who has navigated the demands of career ambition alongside parenting, she understands the invisible pressure many women feel to succeed at work while being fully present at home, often at the cost of their own well-being.

Through Ambitious Mother, Dr. Welsh challenges the myth that mothers must choose between success and sanity. She offers a compassionate, research-backed roadmap to help women redefine ambition in ways that support both their families and themselves.

In this episode we talk about the mental load that leaves many high achieving moms exhausted and what to do about it. We talk about perfectionism as well as how to model healthy ambition to our kiddos.
