Ep. 36: Stop Living Like a Parent Martyr: Your Kids Need the Real You
Description
đ„ Ever feel like you're parenting on empty? This episode of the webe PĂ€rents podcast might just shake you awake. Drs. Matt and Alona dive deep into the silent epidemic of parental burnout â not from neglect, but from over-devotion. If youâve ever felt like your identity is swallowed by your kidâs schedule, or your marriage feels more like a carpooling contract, this one hits hard.
đš Youâll hear:
- A mom who cheered at every gameâuntil a panic attack in the parking lot forced her to face the truth.
- A dad who gave his son âeverythingââuntil both of them started to hate it.
- A couple who rediscovered their marriage with a hotel room and a âno dance talkâ rule.
𧚠The challenge? Your kids donât need everything. They need you â present, resourced, and fully alive. Saying no isnât neglect, itâs wisdom. Prioritizing your needs isnât selfish, itâs modeling.
