Description
Let's be real, parenting is way harder and way less fun than any of us were expecting.
Gentle parenting is a work in progress, a practice, similar to meditation, mindfulness, and self-compassion
“The kids are finally asleep. I'm exhausted, overwhelmed, and stressed out. The house is a mess. That thing for work is coming up. I didn't think life was going to be like this.”
“I lost my temper too many times, I tried so hard to be patient but I was on edge all day. I didn't think life was going to be like this.”
Feel familiar? This is parenting burnout and if you can relate, you are not alone. Burnout is giving and giving until you are exhausted and have nothing left but still feeling like it's not enough.
I help parents trapped in anger and burnout free themselves from overwhelming guilt and shame.
Here you will find:
- Quick, bite-sized strategies to reclaim your sanity and clarity of mind
- Tools to find relief from shame and mom guilt
- A game plan to shift from yelling to connecting with your children
- How to pause so you can respond rather than react in life’s toughest parenting moments
- A deep sense in your core you are not alone, and you are a good Mom
