Every mom will experience burnout. It\u2019s as simple as our energy output exceeds our energy input, but it can be debilitating and discouraging. You may wish for a vacation, or spa day or even just 15 minutes of silence, but what if those typical self-care strategies are out of your reach? Where can you find rest when it seems like your circumstances just don\u2019t allow for any?\xa0
\n\u201cYou may find that if someone pours water all over you, you are damp and distracted, but not cured of your sadness, the way a fire department can douse a fire but never recover what has been burnt down.\u201d \u2014Lemony Snicket, The Bad Beginning
\nThis week we talk with Nicole Zasowski, a mom of three, therapist, and author of the new book, What if it\u2019s Wonderful? Through her own life journey that has included deep sorrow and deep joy, Nicole encourages us to fight burnout with regular rhythms of celebration. No, not another party for you to plan, she\u2019s not looking to douse water on burned-out you, but to help you recover joy that has been lost.\xa0 She gives you an invitation to look at the good God is doing all around you, in every season.\xa0
