Your Journey to Becoming An Energetic Mama Awaits You.

Quiz Questions

• 1.
  Someone asks you to help with something last minute. You want to say no, but end up saying yes. What happens next?

  • A.
    I say yes, but immediately start to rearrange everything else I need to get done because now I'm trying to fit one more thing into an already full day.
  • B.
    I say yes almost automatically... and then later think, "Why did I agree to this?" Deep down I knew I really didn't want to say yes.
  • C.
    I genuinely want to help but know it's going to take more out of me than I have to give. But I agree anyway and end up completely exhausted afterward.
  • D.
    I say yes, but my brain starts spinning. I replay the conversation over and over, and now I can't stop thinking about everything else I now have to do.
• 2.
  What does your energy look like during a typical day?

  • A.
    I can get through the day and even be productive, but sometimes I wonder "What am I even doing all this for?". I'm functioning but don't feel connected to myself.
  • B.
    My energy comes in bursts. I'll be super focused one minute, then completely overwhelmed by noise, interruptions, and everything else competing for my attention.
  • C.
    I have plenty of energy for everyone else, especially in the morning, but by the time I get to myself, there's nothing left.
  • D.
    I feel like I'm dragging myself through the day. Coffee helps for a little while, but even rest doesn't seem to fully recharge me.
• 3.
  If you had one hour of unpaid, uninterrupted me time right now, what would it look like?

  • A.
    I'd probably scroll on my phone for awhile because I genuinely don't know what I want to do. I feel like I've forgotten what I actually enjoy.
  • B.
    I'd make everything quiet as possible. A bath, dim lights, soft music, read a book, a walk alone; anything that gives my brain a chance to turn the volume down.
  • C.
    I'd probably tackle something on my never ending list. Clean the kitchen, organize the kids rooms, catch up on laundry... because then I'd finally be able to get ahead.
  • D.
    I'd lie down. Maybe a nap, maybe stare at the ceiling, or try to do absolutely nothing. I just want nobody to need anything from me for an hour.
• 4.
  When you try to listen to your intuition, what usually happens?

  • A.
    Honestly, I'm so tired that it's hard to hear anything beneath the fog. I know I should heck in with myself, but I don't even know what I'm feeling sometimes.
  • B.
    There's usually a little voice inside that knows what I want, but I've gotten so used to putting that voice aside that it's hard to trust it anymore.
  • C.
    My brain is LOUD. I'm thinking about the grocery list, the kids, texts I need to answer, what happened yesterday... by the time I slow down, I can't tell what's intuition and what's overthinking.
  • D.
    I usually know what I want pretty quickly... and then immediately think about what others would think or if they need me more. Their needs and opinions tend to win over my own instincts.
• 5.
  What happens when plans change and you have to pivot?

  • A.
    You go along with it, even when you really don't want to, then realize later that you've ignored what you wanted again.
  • B.
    You feel wiped out by the change and just need to lie down for a minute before you can even think about what's next.
  • C.
    You get flustered and distracted, your mind racing with all the small details at once on what has to happen now.
  • D.
    You immediately start figuring out how to make it work for everyone, even if that means rearranging your entire day.
• 6.
  How do you react when your child has a meltdown?

  • A.
    I try to stay calm, but sometimes I'm already running on empty. I end up going into autopilot because I honestly don't have much left to give.
  • B.
    I immediately put my own needs aside to help them through it. I'll drop whatever I'm doing, even if I'm frustrated, because taking care of them comes first.
  • C.
    I know what I'm "supposed" to do, so I go through the motions: comfort them, follow the routine, get everyone settled. But sometimes I feel strangely disconnected from the moment.
  • D.
    The crying, yelling, noise, and chaos hits me all at once. I can feel myself getting overstimulated, and my patience disappears quicker than I would like.
• 7.
  How do you feel after trying to say no to a family request?

  • A.
    I struggle with knowing if I really want to say no so I make the decision based on what everyone else needs, rather than checking in with myself.
  • B.
    Even when I know saying no is the right choice, I feel it in my body as a tense, uncomfortable, and draining decision.
  • C.
    I feel relieved for about five minutes... and then my brain starts listing everything else I still need to handle.
  • D.
    The guilt of saying no hits almost immediately so I start explaining myself, apologizing, and reconsider my decision because I don't want anyone to be upset with me.
• 8.
  Which statement about boundaries fits you best?

  • A.
    You set the boundary...and then then noise, the interruptions, and everyone needing something all at once wear it down before lunch.
  • B.
    You know what your boundaries "should" be, but rarely have the energy to enforce them consistently.
  • C.
    You want better boundaries, but honestly, you've been so focused on everyone else that you've lost touch with what you need.
  • D.
    Boundaries bring up ALL the guilt. You would rather bend than risk disappointing someone or creating conflict.

  Dang, you are GOOD at showing up for people. Maybe a little too good :D As a mom, you naturally notice what everyone else needs and instinctively work to meet those needs - even when your own energy is crashing.You may say yes when you really mean no or not today, rearrange plans for someone else, or give away your best energy to others and wonder why there's nothing left for you when it's finally your turn. Sometimes your generosity can build under the surface as resentment, but don't be quick to judge yourself. This doesn't come from not loving your family, but because you've been putting your own needs at the bottom of the list (and maybe expecting everyone else around you to see it too).

  Right now, your biggest challenge is that you're running on empty. You're getting through the day because you have to, but there isn't much energy left for spontaneity, creativity, patience, or even yourself. You may find yourself craving a nap, staring at the wall for a few minutes of quiet, or scrolling social media for a quick pick me up. This often occurs when we say yes to too many things, fail to set boundaries, default into reactive parenting, and never take a moment to fill our own cup.When your cup is empty and your energy is this depleted, everything feels harder - including boundaries, intuition, emotional regulation, and figuring out exactly what you need to fill your cup!

  You've gotten reallllly good at functioning as a mom - but somewhere along the way, you lost touch with you. You can get everyone else where they need to be, keep the house moving, handle the responsibilities, and even have moments where everything looks perfectly fine from the outside. But deep down, you might be wondering "What do I actually want? What makes me even feel like myself anymore?" Your energy isn't necessarily gone - you're just not connected to the source of energy within yourself. Your intuition feels quieter, desires feel fuzzy, and it can be difficult to make choices from a place of genuine alignment instead of doing what everyone else requires of you.

  Your brain and body are processing A LOT. Your energy can feel all over the place, especially between the noise of kids running around the house (or that one loud coworker), notifications going off on your phone, questions by everyone ("Why mom?"), messes, making decisions, navigating interruptions, and all those mental tabs still open, running in the background.  You may have bursts of energy throughout the day where you feel incredibly productive (woohoo!), followed by moments where one more request feels like you're at decision overload. Sometimes this can look like having so much to do that we don't do anything at all - and I'm here to remind you that you are not lazy or lacking patience to get everything done. You're simply operating with a nervous system that rarely gets a moment to come back to baseline. It's at this moment where our mama intuition is quieter, decisions become unclear, and we feel less present.
