In this episode of the Motherhood Found podcast, I dive into a transformative conversation with Jessica Windham, a logistics expert and my good friend, to explore the parallels between logistics management and Motherhood.

We unpack the concept of the "Doom Loop" – a cycle of expectation, disruption, and stress – and its impact on mothers, highlighting how strategies from the logistics industry can empower mothers to navigate their unique challenges. The discussion centers on the power of prioritization, aligning actions with core values, and efficiently managing the overwhelming influx of daily inputs.

Jessica shares actionable insights on building resilience, creating systems to manage the "multiverse of inputs" in Motherhood, and the importance of acknowledging personal limits to foster mental and emotional clarity.

This episode is a masterclass in transforming logistical wisdom into practical, everyday strategies to reduce overwhelm and reclaim a sense of self amidst the chaos of Motherhood.
