S3: Ep5 – Feelosophy: Why Motherhood Isn’t Meant to Be Survived
Wed Feb 04 2026
Clinical psychologist and Philosophy founder Dr. Taylor Palmitier joins Diana Ruszkowski for a powerful conversation on maternal burnout, nervous system overload, and why healing begins when mothers stop powering through and start listening.
In this episode, we explore Feelosophy—the practice of honoring emotions, body wisdom, and intuition as essential tools for healing and connection.
We talk about:
Why motherhood feels so overwhelming
The “bucket” metaphor for stress and burnout
How kids borrow their parent’s nervous system
Psychology, body science, and intuition as a healing system
Why symptoms are messengers—not failures
Simple tools to support regulation and awareness
This episode is for mothers who feel stretched thin, emotionally drained, or disconnected—and are ready for a more compassionate way forward.
