Burned Out, Distracted, and Exhausted? You’re Not Broken

Today’s episode is one every woman needs right now — because if you’re feeling distracted, exhausted, overwhelmed, or like your brain has 47 tabs open at all times… you’re not alone. We’re joined by psychologist, behavioral scientist, and author Dr. Zelana Montminy, whose work focuses on resilience, focus, and what it actually takes to feel grounded in a world that constantly pulls at our attention. And no — this isn’t about productivity hacks or doing more. It’s about coming back to yourself. We talk about why so many women are living in low-grade burnout without realizing it, how multitasking and being “always available” is quietly frying our nervous systems, and why distraction isn’t just a kids’ problem — it’s an adult epidemic. Dr. Zelana breaks down how focus isn’t about grinding or optimizing — it’s about presence and intention. We get into simple, realistic shifts that actually help: micro moments of calm, rethinking your relationship with your phone, why silence matters more than you think, and how modeling regulation (not perfection) changes everything — especially for our kids. If you’ve ever thought, Why can’t I focus anymore? Why am I so tired? Why does everything feel urgent? — this episode will leave you feeling seen, understood, and a little more grounded by the time it ends. A Sony Music Entertainment production.
