Description

Are you chasing “perfect” parenting—only to end every day feeling like you’ve failed?

The truth is, perfection isn’t only impossible, it’s exhausting… and it can actually make parenting harder.

In this episode, Emily unpacks the difference between perfect parenting and empowered parenting—and why the shift can transform your home, your relationship with your kids, and your own emotional well-being.

You’ll learn:

  • Why aiming for perfection leads to burnout (especially in neurodivergent families)
  • How the 51% Parenting Goal works—and why it’s backed by research
  • The two essential elements every child needs: connection and boundaries
  • How to repair and reconnect after you make a mistake
  • Why your imperfections can actually help your child become more resilient


If you’ve been holding yourself to an impossible standard, this conversation will give you permission to let go, tools to parent with confidence, and the freedom to enjoy your family again—without the pressure to be perfect.
