Скачать или смотреть Episode 94: 'Too Many Plates: What Parents Carry That No One Sees' with Jamie Erickson

It’s the Season 2 finale and the last RevRx episode of 2025—and we’re ending with a conversation every family needs.

 

Author and podcaster Jamie Erickson (Homeschool Bravely, Holy Hygge, Overwhelmed Mom) joins me to talk about the real weight parents carry: the mental load, unrealistic expectations, tech overload, and the pressure to do it all.

 

Jamie shares practical ways to find peace in the chaos—like her “china plates vs paper plates” framework, why writing things down actually calms the brain, and why she says to “analog your life” when overwhelm is peaking.

 

If your home has felt heavy, rushed, or stretched thin… this one is for you.
