In today's episode of Overcaffeinated and Out of Effs I sit down with Angela Tipton, entrepreneur, mom of two and founder of FIRE Your Career, to talk about why it really looks like to navigate ambition, chronic illness, motherhood and money.

At 19 years old, Angela was diagnosed with Crohn's disease. Instead of letting it define her, she built a successful career in the biotech and life sciences industries, paid off $85,000 in student debt in just 18 months, and eventually launched her own business focused on helping others pursue financial freedom.

This episode isn't about hustle culture. It's about what happens when your body forces you to slow down. It's about redefining success, rebuilding margin, and living life on your own terms during a time of life when so many moms feel stretched too thin.

In this episode we talk about:

• Receiving a chronic illness diagnosis at 19 and how it reshaped Angela's view of her future
• The pressure to push through even when your body is telling you not to
• How chronic illness changes your relationship with productivity and rest
• Redefining success in motherhood and career
• Letting go of the need to prove yourself
• What living on your own terms actually looks like in motherhood

About Angela:

At 19 years of age, Angela Tipton was diagnosed with Crohn's disease, yet she refused to let her chronic illness define her. Ambitious and career-driven, Angela built a successful career over the next decade with various Fortune 500 companies in the biotech and life sciences industries. While building her career, she maximized her income, made significant financial investments, and paid off $85K of student debt in 18 months. While optimizing her savings, she learned to live below her means so that she could live life on her terms. Angela started her first business in 2017, and today focuses her efforts on helping people achieve financial freedom through their careers at FIREYourCareer.com. She's passionate about building a career to fuel a FIRE lifestyle because she believes that everyone deserves to live life on their terms. In her free time, she enjoys yoga, running, and traveling. Angela lives in Salem, Oregon with her husband and two little boys.

This powerful phrase is a reality that so many high-achieving moms are faced with the moment their first baby is born. It is one they know deep down yet struggle to live by.

In today's episode of Overcaffeinated and Out of Effs I sit down with doula, business owner and mom of two, Suzzie Vehrs, to talk about the connection between birth, identity, ambition and burnout and the reality so many moms grapple with: ”I can't do this the way I was supposed to.”

Suzzie shares how her own childbirth experience opened her eyes to just how much emotional and physical support women truly need, and how often they don't receive it.

Together we talk about:

• How birth is not just a medical event but an emotional and identity shift
• The unrealistic expectations placed on modern day mothers from day one
• Why strong doesn't mean the same thing as supported
• How burnout can quietly grow when we override our capacity
• Relearning to trust yourself in motherhood and beyond

This episode is your reminder that you were never meant to do this alone.

About Suzzie:

Suzzie Vehrs is a doula, business owner, and mom of two whose work is rooted in empathy, advocacy, and calm reassurance. After her own eye-opening birth experience, she felt called to support families during one of life’s most powerful transitions. Today, she helps women trust their instincts, navigate medical systems with confidence, and feel emotionally supported as they step into motherhood.

Her mission is simple but powerful: to remind families that birth is not just a medical event — it’s a deeply human and emotional journey.

In today's episode of Overcaffeinated and Out of Effs I'm joined by Lola MacLean, a functional medicine-trained family nurse practitioner and gut health consultant, to discuss something so many high-achieving moms experience but rarely want to talk about...or even realize has a connection: the two-way relationship between stress and digestion.

Lola shares her own story of pushing through exhaustion, ignoring her body's warning signs and finally being forced to confront the toll chronic stress had taken on her gut health and nervous system.

Together we talk about:

• Why chronic stress literally slows digestion
• How gut imbalances can fuel anxiety, mood swings and overwhelm
• Why high-achieving women are especially prone to digestive issues
• Simple, sustainable shifts that support both your nervous system and your gut without adding 47 supplements to your routine
• How healing your gut can improve your energy, patience and emotional regulation

This episode is your reminder that feeling chronically unwell is not your baseline and it's not something you have to power through. Your body isn't working against you. It's communicating with you. And this conversation will tell you what you need to know so you feel more equipped to start listening.

About Lola:

Lola MacLean is a functional gut health consultant and family nurse practitioner who helps professional women finally get lasting relief from bloating, constipation, IBS, and the stress that comes with feeling unwell. Through a simple, sustainable, root-cause approach, she blends functional medicine with practical lifestyle support so her clients can reclaim their energy, clarity, and confidence. She’s the founder of Haelan Empowered, where she teaches women that healing can be simple and sustainable.

She's also a wife and mom of three girls. Like so many other working moms, she's constantly juggling a busy schedule, family demands and household needs while trying to squeeze time for herself into days that never seem to be long enough.

In today's episode of Overcaffeinated and Out of Effs I sit down with Emmy Award winning meteorologist Kate Thornton from NewsChannel 9 to talk about what working motherhood really looks like when your career is in the public eye.

Together we talk about:

• What viewers don't see behind those early morning forecasts
• Unique challenges moms face while working in a public-facing career
• Marriage and parenting in a dual-career household with both partners in the same demanding industry
• The added pressure of never truly being “off”
• What Kate wishes more people understood about working moms in high-visibility roles

Kate talks about the pressure of public success and private overwhelm, reminding us that even the women who look the most put-together are navigating their own personal struggles you can't see. We're all doing the best we can, and some days are going to be harder than others. We're all absolutely allowed to be human.

The truth is, you can't feel truly restored, creative, patient or present when your nervous system is always on alert. But when your phone is a key tool for your work, your calendar, your childcare messages, your group chats, your social media breaks, your school emails, your texts from your spouse....essentially your whole life....what are you supposed to do? You can't exactly throw it away or just not have one.

In this episode we talk about:

• How digital habits and expectations amplify the pressure to always be “on”
• Subtle signs that a mom's relationship with her devices is having a negative effect on her energy, focus and relationships
• How to stop feeling guilty for needing space from your screen
• Realistic digital boundaries to help you reclaim your focus and mental clarity, reduce the pressure to always be reachable, and create space for in-person community
• Practical strategies for using technology as a tool without losing yourself along the way

If you've ever asked yourself, “I love my kids...but why does this feel so much harder than I expected?” then this episode is for you. It will help you feel less alone while giving you the practical tools to start feeling like yourself again.

Together we talk about:

• Why burnout is so common in early motherhood
• The difference between postpartum mental health struggles and maternal burnout

In this episode of Overcaffeinated and Out of Effs I sit down with Ashley Bandemer, a new mom and multi-passionate entrepreneur who is building three businesses while navigating motherhood, partnership and the invisible load so many moms carry.

Ashley shares the honest reality behind what it looks like to be both the default parent and the CEO during a season when her husband has been traveling most of the week for work. Not only does she manage life at home with a baby and a puppy, she has also been adjusting to living in a new location without much local support.

Together we talk about:

• What it's really like being the default parent while building and running multiple businesses
• The loneliness that can come with motherhood and building a life in a new place
• Creating businesses and careers that support your family life
• The importance of community and support during motherhood
• Time-saving tips to help busy moms lighten their loads
• The things Ashley wishes more people knew about solo parenting – even when you have a supportive partner but still feel like you're doing so much on your own

It was exciting, meaningful work but over time she poured so much of herself into the role that she lost sight of who she really was. Eventually, life gave her the nudge she didn't know she needed. The career chapter she thought would always define her suddenly came to a close. But that ending became the doorway to something new.

In this honest conversation we talk about:

• what burnout really looked like behind the scenes of a high-level corporate career
• the emotional toll of being the only parent while leading at work
• shifting beliefs about what it means to be a “good mom” and a “successful woman”
• unique challenges working moms face when they don't have a partner to share the load
• misconceptions and the things often misunderstood about being a single mom
• small changes that can make the biggest difference
• practical first steps to create, “a next act that truly fits who you are now”

For more than 20 years, Gretchen led creative teams at Mattel for billion-dollar brands like Hot Wheels and Barbie. What once felt exciting and meaningful eventually led to severe burnout, especially as she navigated single motherhood.

When the career chapter she thought would define her came to an unexpected close, she found herself rebuilding from the ground up. Through neuroscience, flow psychology, and spiritual practices, she became a certified High Flow Coach and now helps leaders and change-makers reignite their spark and create work and lives that feel aligned and sustainable.

Today on Overcaffeinated and Out of Effs I'm joined by Lori Lynn Smith, a corporate executive, strategies, and wellness guide who brings over 20 years of leadership experience managing multi-million dollar tech and strategy projects while raising four kids as a single mom. Lori has lived the reality so many working moms are in: impossible deadlines, blurred boundaries and the pressure to perform.

You've heard on other episodes about ways to set boundaries and take care of yourself at home, but today we look at the problem from another direction. Together we talk about burnout in the work place and how to avoid it by hearing insights from a woman in charge. Lori shares practical strategies working moms can use to:

• set boundaries at work without losing credibility
• communicate needs clearly and professionally
• use boundaries as a leadership tool and not a liability
• advocate for yourself in systems that weren't designed for working moms
• understand how leaders and managers can better support working moms instead of pushing them closer to burnout

You don't have to choose between being respected at work and taking care of yourself. Boundaries aren't a weakness. They're a skill.

Lori Lynn Smith is a strategist, executive leader, and wellness guide who has lived the reality of burnout. A single mom of four while climbing the corporate ladder, she learned firsthand how chronic stress impacts women’s health, confidence, and careers. Now an MBA at 50 and founder of Flourishing Rebel and Strategy Rebel, Lori Lynn helps women build sustainable boundaries, protect their energy, and design careers and lives that actually support them — especially during midlife and peri-menopause.

What happens when life appears to be shining brightly on the outside but darkness is lurking underneath?

In this deeply honest conversation on Overcaffeinated and Out of Effs I'm joined by Leah Johnson, a former political strategist whose impressive resume includes national campaigns, public office and “mom”. But behind the appearance of success, Leah was burned out and struggling with trauma and addiction. Forced to step back, she re-evaluated her priorities and started fresh in many ways. Now she lives with the freedom to be herself and know how far from perfect she is.

In this episode Leah opens up about the dark season that forced her to step back and re-evaluate everything she thought success was supposed to look like. We talk about the dark side of Leah's success; the role of her past trauma and path to addiction; why stepping away from success felt terrifying and necessary; the importance of letting go of perfection; and what it means to advocate for yourself and choose joy again. Leah's story is raw, compassionate and deeply human.

***This episode includes discussion of sensitive topics, including trauma, addiction, and suicide. Listener discretion is advised.***

If these topics feel triggering or overwhelming for you, I encourage you to skip this episode or return to it at another time. Please prioritize your emotional well-being and listen in a way that feels supportive to you.

In today's episode of Overcaffeinated and Out of Effs I'm joined by Madisen Rose, a somatic practitioner and the founder of Better Half to Whole, to talk about nervous system regulation in a way that makes sense for busy, burned out working moms. No complicated routines and no pretending you have hours of uninterrupted time to care for yourself.

Madisen shares how somatic work can help moms gently regulate an overloaded nervous system, rebuild a sense of safety in their bodies, and feel more grounded in their relationships even in the middle of full schedules and constant demands.

In this episode we talk about how chronic stress shows up in the body; what nervous system dysregulation actually looks like in everyday mom life; what's happening in our nervous system when we're stuck in that constant “go-go-go” state; how somatic work and nervous system regulation set the foundation for stress management and burnout recovery; different ways moms can begin to reconnect with their bodies; and simple somatic practices that go beyond deep breathing and quick fixes.

When your nervous system is overloaded, remember....with the right support and small, intentional practices, it is possible to feel calmer, more present, and more like yourself again.

Katie shares her journey from corporate stability to building multiple creative businesses, all while navigating motherhood, identity shifts and the pressure to figure it out.

Together we talk about the fear that comes with leaving a stable job; redefining success after becoming a mom; the struggle between creativity, ambition and being present at home; how Katie planned and funded her own three-month maternity leave; and the messy, nonlinear reality of building a life that fits.

Remember, it's okay to evolve. It's okay to pivot. And it's okay to create success on your own terms.

In this episode of Overcaffeinated and Out of Effs I'm joined by Beth Wanner, founder of Mother Cover, an agency that provides interim and fractional coverage that helps companies maintain momentum while supporting employees through parental and caregiver leave. Together we have an honest conversation about why parental leave in the U.S is broken and why so many moms feel burned out before they're even back to work.

Beth brings a powerful perspective as both a former tech executive and a mother who has personally navigated infertility, pregnancy and the emotional toll of returning to work without adequate support. She shares what she's seen on both sides and how companies can support new moms without sacrificing business performance.

In this episode we talk about why so many moms are forced back to work way too soon after childbirth; the emotional and mental load of returning to work as a new mom; how lack of parental leave support leads to burnout for moms and their teams; what better parental leave support can actually look like in practice; and what moms can do if they want to advocate for better support at work.

If you've ever felt like you were failing because motherhood and work felt unsustainable, this episode is your reminder that you're not weak and you're not alone. The system wasn't built to support you.

Together we explore why burnout makes quality sleep so difficult and what actually helps. We talk about why burned out moms often lie wide awake at night despite their exhaustion; how chronic stress and emotional overload disrupt their ability to rest; why so many moms can't turn off their brains when they go to bed; behaviors and patterns that keep them in poor sleep cycles; and realistic strategies moms can take to help them start sleeping better.

Your nervous system may be overwhelmed but with the right support, rest is possible again.

Julie helps us look beyond the piles of stuff and explore the various forms of clutter (physical, mental, emotional, relational and financial) and how they drain our energy and make burnout feel inevitable. Together we talk about why getting organized isn't about perfection, but about creating space to breathe, think clearly and feel more like yourself again.

In this episode we talk about why a cluttered home can overload our nervous system; the different types of clutter that affect working moms beyond just physical stuff; how clutter contributes to anxiety, decision fatigue and emotional exhaustion; and simple, realistic ways busy moms can start creating more calm and clarity.

Today Raquel works in a completely different way that prioritizes sustainability, boundaries and trust.

Today I sit down with Kasey Edwards, international bestselling author of Raising Girls Who Like Themselves and Bringing Up Boys Who Like Themselves. “ When children like themselves, they are more resilient, confident, and independent. And for busy, exhausted moms, that means less nagging, less guilt, and less pressure to be “perfect.”” Her work centers around helping kids develop confidence, resilience and a deep sense of self-liking, without moms having to sacrifice their mental health, identity or sanity in the process.

In this episode Kasey talks about the invisible pressure so many moms carry to be everything to everyone and what it actually teaches our kids; how “good girl” and “tough boy” conditioning affect the mental and emotional well being of kids and their moms; and the importance of moms showing up as their authentic selves. She shares practical, evidence-based strategies to raise children who like themselves and small mindset shifts moms can make to have a positive effect on the entire family.

With more than 20 years of experience, Lindsay helps older adults maintain independence while supporting families through the complex journey of aging.

Lisa joined us today to talk about her work with the Internal Family Systems (IFS) Model of therapy and how it relates to overcoming burnout, specifically the idea that to heal burnout, we need to be honest about parts and then recognize how we're unintentionally attracting, or manifesting, more of the same things that are burning us out.

In this episode of Overcaffeinated and Out of Effs, we're getting honest about something so many career-minded moms struggle with but don't always talk about: isolation.

Christi talks about the everyday reasons many moms feel disconnected (even when they're surrounded by people) and how societal messages and unrealistic expectations keep us from being vulnerable. You'll also hear about the costs of isolation and why it's important to build community and connections.

Whatever this looks like for you, know that you're not the only one feeling this way.

I'll take you back to the time in my life when I was killing it at work (before kids), how everything shifted when my daughter was born, and the emotional toll that followed — the pressure, the guilt, the strain on my life at home and when I realized something had to change.

You'll hear how I moved through one of the most challenging chapters of my life, how I found my way back and why I'm so passionate about helping other moms do the same.

This episode is for every mom who’s ever wondered, “Is it just me?” (It’s not.)

So grab your coffee — hot, cold, or day old — and come hang out with me.

You're not alone.

Whether you're climbing the ladder, taking a pause or somewhere in between, if you identify as a mom and career-woman, and you're struggling to manage it all, this is for you.

In this short trailer episode, I’m giving you a sneak peek into what this show is all about, who it’s for, and why it might be exactly what you didn’t know you needed.

I’m Christi Gmyr — burnout coach for moms, licensed therapist, and mom of two — and each week I’ll be bringing you a mix of real talk, practical strategies, and raw conversations with other moms who are done doing it all while feeling like they’re falling apart inside.

So grab your coffee and follow the show so you don’t miss a single episode. We’re doing this differently. Because we’re all out of effs.
