I hear this from so many high-achieving women — and I used to feel it myself too. At work, you hold it all together. ✨ Calm, capable, composed. ✨ Present with colleagues, clients, patients. ✨ Smiling, listening, giving your best. But at home, by bedtime… it’s a different story. You’re exhausted from all the demands, discussions, and deadlines. On edge. Longing for just a moment to yourself. Bedtime can feel like another thing you have to do. You want to be the mum who is present after a long day of childcare, school and work. But then, another “Mummy, I want…” And the pressure builds. Tears prick your eyes. And you snap — "just go to sleep" . You promised yourself you wouldn’t. That you would be better. And so the guilt hits hard. The self-judgement piles on: “You should be more patient.” “Why do you always do this?” “You’re not a good mum.” That sadness that follows — the one that says the people you love most are getting what’s left of you, not the best of you. 👉 This is part of the dark side of being a high-achieving woman. Pulled in a million directions. Never feeling like enough. Carrying an impossible load that robs you of presence at home. And if this sounds familiar for you, DM me — do you feel like you get to show up as your best self at home, or does work take it all? No judgement here, just understanding and compassion. #highachievingwomen #workingmumlife #HighFunctioningWomen #WomenWhoLead #theoverwhelmcoach
