128. How Does Everyone Else Do It?
This week on Dr Julie’s Coffee Chats I’m diving into a thought every mum has had — usually while staring at a pile of washing that’s been sitting in the machine for far too many days (me!) — “How does everyone else do it?”
The truth? They don’t. None of us do. We’re all juggling, dropping balls, picking up new ones, and trying to keep ourselves and our families afloat as best we can.
In this episode, I’m sharing a very real moment from my own morning that reminded me just how much invisible load we carry — especially at this time of year. I talk about the myth of “other people doing it better,” what wellness actually looks like in the chaos, and why it’s completely normal to feel overwhelmed, tired, or behind. Plus some practical ways to take the pressure off, how to reset without guilt.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re the only one struggling to keep up — this episode will remind you that you’re absolutely not alone. Grab your coffee, take a breath, and come join me.
