“Everything in my life has to have the exact equal amount of time I have to give. My self time, my children time, my career time, my husband time, my family, my friends time. So if you have that level of pressure, it’s just, it’s never ending and that’s exhausting and it’s just not realistic,” the mom of two continued.
Schwarzenegger Pratt noted that above all, moms should realize that many of them are also feeling the same burnout.
“And then I think just being gentle with yourself is probably the best piece of advice that I can give anybody feeling burnout, especially in the mom space, because you have kids that are needing your love and support and attention all the time, and a partner as well, and different parts of your life.”
She added that it’s important to realize that “you’re going to be late. You’re going to have things not go your way. Your kids are going to get sick. You’re going to have to go to appointments.”
“So being a little bit more flexible, which is something that’s been hard for me to accept, because I’m very structured and scheduled and have been my whole life.”
