In this week’s episode of Your Cup of Joy, I’m joined by educator, speaker, and author Andryanna Gonko, host of The Juggle is Real Podcast. A mom of three, she knows firsthand the weight of mom guilt, shame, and anxiety, especially when juggling perfection, never-ending to-do lists, and the pressure to do it all.

She opens up about the moment she realized she was on the brink of burnout back in 2017: the warning signs she missed, the toll it took on her body and mind, and the wake-up call that finally made her say, enough is enough. We unpack the myths around hustle culture, the danger of “no pain, no gain” messaging, and the power of learning to say no.

Now on a mission to help others recognize and recover from burnout, she shares the key lessons she’s learned. From why self-care goes beyond the bubble bath, to how small daily shifts can help you reclaim your energy, and the essential first step if you’re feeling overwhelmed. We also dive into her Authentic Self-Care Planner & Activity Book for Busy Women and the five pillars that serve as a reminder that your needs matter too.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re running on empty, this episode is your permission slip to slow down, give yourself grace, and start prioritizing yourself—without guilt. You won’t want to miss it!
