Parenting is hard. Having a demanding career is hard. Doing both —and doing both well— can feel nearly impossible.
The pressure. The emotional exhaustion. The guilt. The constant second-guessing. And without the support you truly need, it takes a serious toll—not just on you, but on the people you love most.
Maybe you question whether you're doing enough as a mom. Maybe you feel guilty for prioritizing your goals or needing space for yourself. Maybe you resent your partner for not noticing how much you're carrying. Maybe you worry your career might be creating distance between you and your family.
If any of that sounds familiar, you're not alone—and you're not doing anything wrong.
You're just burned out.
The good news is, it doesn't have to stay this way. I've develpoed a proven 12-week process that's helped high-achieving moms rebuild their energy, reconnect at home and feel deeply confident in who they are—while having a career and without sacrificing their relationships.
If you're ready to stop surviving and start feeling like yourself again, you're in the right place.
Beat Burnout. Overcome Resentment and Guilt. Improve Confidence and Connection -
While Having A Career. All Without Sacrificing Yourself.
You're burned out from trying to be everything to everybody all the time but still don't feel like you're doing enough
You struggle with guilt for not being able to spend enough quality time with your kids
You constantly feel angry at your spouse for not helping enough or not taking initiative at home – as a result, there is a lot of conflict and arguing at home
You feel resentful because, as much as you try to explain it to him or her, nothing ever changes (and if it does, the change is only temporary)
You feel disconnected or distant from your family due to time constraints
You feel isolated or unsupported while managing family and career responsibilities
You have a hard time setting boundaries between work and family life
You struggle with feelings of inadequacy or not being a “good enough” parent, especially when you start comparing yourself to other moms who seem to do it all so easily
You worry that focusing on your family will affect your career growth - and you worry that focusing on your career will affect your family relationships
You're constantly exhausted, and you take that exhaustion out on those closest to you
Leaving work at work so you can be fully present with your family at home
Feeling emotionally supported and truly connected to your partner
Moving forward in your career with confidence knowing your home life is strong and secure
Setting healthy boundaries without guilt, fear or second-guessing
Embracing imperfection and feeling secure in your parenting instead of constnatnly wondering if you're getting it right
Having a supportive system you can lean on so life doesn't feel so heavy or isolating
Feeling your best mentally, emotionally and physically because you actually take time to take care of yourself
Putting an end to comparisons and judgments by other people and focusing on the things that matter most to you
Letting go of comparisions and focusing on what truly matters to you
Letting go of the resentment and anger toward your spouse by shifting how you communicate and relate
Focusing on things you can control and learning to let go of what you can't
I know. It can feel like a fantasy. Burnout has become so normalized that the idea of balancing a career and family without it almost seems out of reach. Well, fellow momma, I'm here to tell you that it's not. You have more power than you think. YOU get to decide how you live, lead and show up in your life. And I can show you how.
As a career-driven mom myself, I get it.
I know the challenges we face. We're taught we have to choose between our career goals and our families. The truth is, with the right mindset, strategy and support you can absolutely do both. One doesn't have to come at the expense of the other. In fact, success in one area actually compliments the other.
It's easy to believe your situation is too complicated or different – “nobody would understand.” Well I'm here to tell you that in my work with other high-achieving moms I've learned that, although the details might be different, the core struggles are very similar. And when you're guided by someone who truly gets it, even long-standing patterns can shift. While you may have unsuccessfully tried other things in the past, different outcomes can happen when you finally use an approach designed for women just like you.
Think of the Butterfly Effect - when one thing shifts it creates change all around it. You don't have to stay stuck. You can take your energy back. You can reconnect with your family and yourself. YOU have the power to change your life.
Hi, I'm Christi Gmyr - a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in New York State and a Burnout Coach for Moms.
As a mom of two young kids with the drive to grow in my career, I know firsthand how hard it can be to hold everything together. I've felt the guilt, the resentment, the exhaustion, the self-doubt — and the fear that something's always slipping through the cracks. That's why I'm passionate about helping other moms break free from burnout — so they can live their lives in a way that honors their goals and values without losing themselves or the people they love in the process.
I've spent years working in Community Mental Health, as both a therapist and program leader, and now run a successful private pracitce while raising my family. I've been in your shoes: juggling deadlines, managing family chaos and trying to keep it all together withought falling apart myself.
Here's what I've learned:
You don't have to choose between your goals and your relationships.
You don't have to lose yourself to be a good mom or a successful professional.
When you have the right tools, support and perspective, you can build a life that actually works — for you and the people you love.
Let's Do This Together
The Thrive As a Career-Driven Mom Program gives you the education, tools, accountability and support to reclaim yourself and improve your relationships along the way.
