Hey, I'm Christi
Burnout Coach For Moms
To All the Overwhelmed,
Career-Minded Moms:
Parenting is hard. Having a demanding career is hard. Trying to do them both —and feeling like you have to do them both well— can feel nearly impossible.
​
There's always something that needs your attention whether it's a deadline, a school email, dinner, laundry or someone who needs something from you.
​
These are the things I hear from moms ALL...THE...TIME.
​
The expectation is you're supposed to be productive at work and present at home, keep the family running, be a good partner, remember what everyone needs, take care of yourself, maintain friendships and maybe even find time to actually enjoy the life you've worked so hard to build.
​
It's exhausting.
​
Somewhere along the way, the pressure to "do it all" has left you completely overwhelmed and wondering what happened to the person you used to be.
​
The truth is, you don't need to get better at doing it all.
​
You need a life that actually feels manageable without the unrealistic expectation that you have to be everything to everyone.
​
That's what I'm here to help you with.
​
Together we'll work on letting go of impossible expectations, taking some of the weight off your shoulders, getting the support you need and making room for you again without giving up the career you care about (unless you want to!) or sacrificing the relationships that matter to you.
​
The goal isn't to become better at holding everything together. The goal is to create a life where you have more capacity for the people you love and for yourself.
​
Whether you're ready to dive all in or take smaller steps at your own pace, you'll find resources here to guide and support you exactly where you're at.
​
You don't have to keep running yourself into the ground trying to be everything to everyone.

It's your life. You get to matter too.

Is This You?
There's always something that needs to be done and you're the one responsible for making sure it happens....always
You're constantly exhausted...physically, mentally and emotionally
You feel guilty no matter what you do - whenever you say yes to one thing, you have to say no to something else, leaving you feeling like you're always letting somebody down
You feel frustrated that your partner never seems to notice what needs to be done, hoping he'll take care of it without waiting for you to ask but it never seems to happen
You do so much for everyone else yet somehow still feel unseen, unappreciated or like you're never doing enough (yet somehow your spouse gets complimented for "babysitting" *eye roll*)
You don't have the support system you wish you had - your family isn't local or able to offer much help and you hardly see your friends since becoming a mom
You struggle to say no, ask for help or put your own needs first
You're so overwhelmed that you end up yelling at your kids when you wish you could stay calm, and then worry about being a "bad mom" or wondering why you can't keep it together
You've spent so much time focusing on your kids, spouse and job that you don't even know who you are anymore (and you never saw it coming)
Imagine This Instead
Your life feels....manageable....instead of stressing about the things you didn't get done and constantly trying to catch up, you feel good about the things you did (those things will still be there tomorrow and that's okay)
You can be present with your spouse and kids without your brain constantly thinking about everything that still needs to be done
You feel supported...everything doesn't automatically falls on you
You can communicate what you need, set boundaries and ask for help without feeling guilty or worrying about what others think
You have people you can lean on....and do
You're more patient with your kids...even on the hard days
You don't compare yourself to other moms or worry that others are judging you because you feel confident in your decisions and actions as a mom
You make time and space for your own needs, interests and relationships without worrying like you're taking something away from your family
You feel like your own person again...you know....you...beyond your roles as mom, wife, employee and keeper of everything
I know. A life that actually feels manageable can seem almost impossible when you've spent years trying to keep up with everything, constantly in "go-mode", doing everything for everyone. Those expectations have become so normalized that the idea of balancing a career and family in a way that doesn't constantly feel so chaotic can feel like a fantasy. Well, fellow momma, I'm here to tell you that it doesn't have to be.
​
As a career-minded mom myself, I get it.
​
There's so much pressure on moms to get it right. Between raising kids, building a career, keeping a strong relationship, taking care of the house, maintaining friendships, how are you supposed to also take care of yourself? How are you supposed to get to a place where you feel calm, present and fulfilled? And somehow make it look so easy?
​
Here's what I've learned. The answer isn't figuring out how to do more or do it all better. It's actually the opposite. It's figuring out how to do less. It's deciding what actually matters to you and letting go of the expectations, responsibilities and pressures that don't.
​
Maybe you're passionate about your career and want to keep climbing the ladder. Maybe having kids has made you realize that you want to slow down. Maybe you want to take a pause, change directions or build a career that fits your family differently than it used to. There isn't one right way to be a career-minded mom.
​
You don't have to choose between being a good mom and being a person with goals, needs and an identity of your own.
​
You get to decide what success looks like in this season of your life. You get to ask for support. You get to say no. You get to change your mind. You get to stop measuring yourself against impossible expectations.
​
You can build a life that works for you...not the one that you think you're supposed to have.
I've worked with enough overwhelmed moms to know that, while our lives might look really different, so many of us are carrying the same pressure underneath everything.
​
"I should be able to handle this."
The truth is, you don't need to be better at carrying everything. Sometimes the biggest changes begin when you finally give yourself permission to put some of it down.
​
Your career gets to matter. Your family gets to matter. And so do you.

Meet Christi
Hi, I'm Christi Gmyr - a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in New York State, Burnout Coach for Moms and mom of two.
​
I know firsthand what it's like to feel like you have to hold everything together. I've felt the guilt, resentment, exhaustion and self-doubt that come from trying to be the mom you want to be while also caring so much about your career. I know what it's like to feel pulled in a million directions and wonder how you're supposed to keep doing all of it without losing yourself in the process.
But my understanding of burnout isn't just personal.
​
I've spent years working in Community Mental Health as a therapist and program leader, and I now run a successful private practice while raising my family. I've been in your shoes. Through my personal experiences and my work with other moms, I've seen how easily the pressure to "do it all" can leave capable, driven women exhausted, overwhelmed and questioning themselves when they can't seem to keep up.
​
Here's what I've learned: "Doing it all" is an illusion. It isn't reality. The answer isn't getting better at doing everything.
It's letting go of impossible expectations, figuring out what actually matters to you, getting the support you need and creating a life that doesn't require you to constantly run yourself into the ground just to keep it going.
You don't have to choose between your goals and the people you love. And you don't have to lose yourself trying to be a good mom.
You get to decide what success looks like for you.
