ENTREPRENEUR PARENTS PODCAST

Hosted by Dan Caldwell and Ildiko Ferenczi

 

 

Exhaustion has a sound, and every husband who learns to hear it can save his marriage before it shatters.

 

In this powerful episode of Becoming Unshakable: The Legacy Conversations Bonus Series, host Ildiko Ferenczi exposes the hidden epidemic of emotionally drained mothers and the quiet crisis of burnout that threatens families across America.

 

Drawing on research from the American Psychological Association, the World Health Organization, and the Gottman Institute, Ildiko reveals why nearly half of U.S. working moms report chronic exhaustion — and how faith, empathy, and teamwork can heal what fatigue has fractured.

 

This conversation will speak to both hearts in the marriage, reminding husbands and wives that emotional safety is the soil where love grows strong again.

 

 

You'll learn how to:

• Recognize the invisible load that leaves mothers depleted

• Notice early warning signs of emotional burnout

• Rebuild trust and safety using therapist-backed repair strategies

• Apply biblical wisdom (James 1:19, Ephesians 5:25, Ecclesiastes 4:12) to restore peace at home

• Lead your family with gentleness, consistency, and prayer

 

 

"She's not distant because she stopped loving you, she's distant because she's tired."
