Notas do episódio
Hey sports MOMs! In this deeply honest and soul-filling episode of MOMs Running Point, host Tawa Dortch sits down with Karen Johnson — mom of three, speaker, and author of "What Do I Want to Be When They Grow Up?" — to talk about something we all feel but rarely say out loud: the emotional and mental toll of being a Sports Mom and the Question Mark about our own FUTURE.
From burnout and "ghost mom" moments to identity loss and comparison traps, this episode is a powerful reminder that it's not selfish to take care of yourself — it's essential. Karen and Tawa break down the invisible load so many moms carry and share practical tools for rediscovering yourself, regaining your joy, and starting small toward what you want to be when THEY grow up.
This episode will help you laugh, reflect, maybe give practical advice to refill your cup — and definitely walk away knowing you're not alone and that it's okay to want more for yourself. Plus, don't miss the debut of "The Final Whistle" segment and a giveaway for Karen's game-changing book!
