About Flawed and Fearless Podcast

The Honest Work is the podcast for moms and women in the thick of family life who love their people deeply—but are tired of feeling like they’re the only ones holding everything together. Hosted by Lisa Covert, this is where we untangle the chaos no one else can see: ✨ The mental load ✨ Motherhood ✨ Marriage ✨ Parenting ✨ Family dynamics ✨ Unfinished projects ✨ Emotional overwhelm ✨ The constant pressure to keep everyone and everything moving Sometimes the chaos looks like a messy house or another routine nobody follows. Sometimes it’s losing your temper over one small thing, feeling guilty for wanting time alone, resenting the people you love, or wondering why everyone else’s needs seem to matter more than yours. Here, we look honestly at those everyday moments without making you the problem—or turning your family into the enemy. Together, we’ll uncover what’s really happening beneath the frustration, learn how emotions, facts, logic, values, and real-life capacity can work together, and build practical home systems, family routines, boundaries, and changes that actually fit your life. No perfection. No pretending. No generic advice to “just calm down” or wake up at 5 a.m. Just real conversations, honest questions, relatable family stories, and practical next steps to help you: ✓ Understand yourself ✓ Make clearer decisions ✓ Strengthen your relationships ✓ Create a home and life that work better for everyone—including you 🎧 New episodes every Thursday. Welcome to The Honest Work—where we untangle the chaos no one else can see. https://lisacovert.com/honestwork
