Episode 43 – “How Many Games Do You Have Today?” The Burnout of Busy Family Life

Description

It’s the question every parent hears at least once a weekend:

“So… how many games do you have today?”


And honestly? I never know how to answer.


Between three kids, five soccer games, two tennis matches, diving practice, and coaching toddler soccer it’s a full-time job just keeping track of who’s playing where.


This weekend alone, we had seven games, two practices, and about a hundred snack breaks in between. 😅


In this episode of Struggle & Strength: Moms Balancing It All with Nikki, I’m talking about the beautiful chaos of being a sports parent and the real burnout that comes with it.


💛 Inside, I share:




  • The endless weekend routine of games, matches, and practices




  • How our kids are starting to notice the toll it takes on us




  • When to ask the hard question: “Are we doing too much?”




  • And why saying no sometimes teaches our kids more than saying yes ever could




Because the truth is, we all want our kids to succeed but not at the cost of their joy (or our sanity).
