From burnout to business: how one mom did it

Authors:

Burnout, bounce houses, and backyard breakdowns.

If you’ve ever taken a Teams call from a daycare parking lot or considered hiding from your children in the basement, this one’s for you.

In this week’s episode of The Balancing Act, Sarah Sheridan chats with Amanda Hausmann, a trial attorney who hit her breaking point trying to “do it all.” Spoiler: she quit. Then built something better.

They cover:

  • The meltdown that sparked her exit from corporate life
  • The mom-to-mom support app she created (it’s brilliant)
  • Real tools to stop reacting and start showing up

Whether you’re running a household, a business, or both, this is a refreshingly honest look at what it actually takes to make it all work.

Listen to “Mom on Trial” here.

P.S. Her story involves a public cry and roofers laughing at her. Highly relatable content.
