Running on Fizz: A Mom Burnout Check-In is a cute 2-page printable handout with bright, hand-painted sticker illustrations. A “Mom Fuel” soda can shows how much fizz is left. It helps moms notice their burnout level, see what’s shaking up their can, and choose small refills that fit real life.
WHAT’S INCLUDED
Page 1, Running on Fizz:
A 4-level fizz meter (Full of fizz, Losing fizz, Going flat, Crushed can) with everyday signs for each level.
“What shakes up my can”: common pressure builders like no breaks, being “on” all day, feeling touched out, broken sleep and decision fatigue.
A gentle note that burnout isn’t a mom fail.
When to reach out for support.
Page 2, Refill My Can:
A color-in can for today’s fizz level.
Space for what’s draining your fizz, your early warning signs, and what has put fizz back before.
A refill snack bar with six kinds of refills: rest, fun, connection, alone time, body care and help.
One thing to lower the bar on, who can help refill you, and a reflection prompt.
Delivery: Instant digital download (PDF, A4, prints fine on US Letter). No physical item will be shipped. Print as many copies as you need for personal use.
WHO IS THIS FOR?
Moms who feel tired, stretched thin, or like they’re running on empty, and anyone supporting them. A therapist or counselor may also choose to use it with clients.
