Is Anybody Happy These Days? – Psychology Behind Working Mom Guilt and Overwhelm – Advice Column

Is anybody actually happy these days?

In this video, we’re talking about the psychology behind working mom guilt, overwhelm, burnout, and that strange feeling of having a “good life” on paper but still feeling emotionally exhausted inside.

If you’ve ever thought:

  • “I should be grateful, so why don’t I feel happy?”
  • “My life is good, but I still feel overwhelmed.”
  • “I love my family, but I feel like I’m disappearing.”
  • “Between work, kids, marriage, home, and money stress… is anyone thriving?”

This conversation is for you.

We’ll talk about why you may feel unhappy even when nothing is technically “wrong,” including cognitive dissonance, role overload, open mental loops, fractured sleep, mom guilt, and the emotional weight of trying to hold everything together.

You are not ungrateful.
You are not broken.
You may just be burnt out, overloaded, and in need of a rhythm that actually supports you too.

In this video, I’ll walk through:

  • Why a good life can still feel heavy
  • The psychology behind working mom guilt
  • How role overload affects your identity
  • Why financial stress can keep running in the background of your mind
  • Why boundaries, sleep, and daily rhythms matter
  • How to start finding yourself again inside motherhood, marriage, and work

Dear Overstimulated Mom: Kids Just Need Simple Activities to Play & Explore (Life Lately Mom Vlog)

In this Life Lately Mom Vlog, I’m sharing a gentle reminder for the overstimulated mom: sometimes kids just need simple activities to play, explore, and enjoy the little moments.

This family vlog includes kids activities, church drums, Xavier’s 4-year-old shots and funny shot dance, cooking class, planting grass outside, baby kitchen play, relaxing at home, work-from-home mom life, and slime time with the kids.

As a Christian mom of 4, I’m learning that family rhythm does not have to be complicated. Sometimes the simple home days, little outings, and everyday memories are more than enough.

Family Fun at the Beach for Baby Mya’s 2nd Birthday | Mom Vlog with 4 Kids, Sandcastles & Memories

We celebrated Maya’s birthday with a simple and sweet beach day, and honestly, it was the perfect reminder that family fun does not have to be expensive or complicated.

The kids played in the sand, built sandcastles, ran in and out of the water, and soaked up all the little moments that make childhood feel so special. It was one of those days where the joy was in the simple things: beach toys, snacks, laughter, wet feet, and watching the kids enjoy being together.

As a mom, I’m learning to treasure these affordable family memories. Sometimes the best days are not the ones we over-plan, but the ones where we show up, let the kids explore, and encourage them along the way.

In this vlog, you’ll see our family beach day, Maya’s birthday fun, the kids playing in the water, and a little bit of real motherhood in the middle of it all.
