Identifying Teen Parent Burnout and the One Strategy to Break Free
Description
In this inaugural episode, Enda Gilbert, your host and award-winning Parenting and Burnout Coach, tackles the hidden crisis of Teen Parent Burnout—a phenomenon rarely discussed but widely experienced.
After witnessing countless heart-breaking struggles and breakthrough moments in her roles as mediator, mentor, and coach, Teen Parent Burnout became the driving force behind creating this podcast. Bringing these often-silenced challenges to light can help parents realise they're not alone on this journey.
Drawing from three decades of experience working with families, this episode:
- Reveals the unique signs of burnout specific to parenting teenagers
- Explains why teen parent burnout differs from early childhood exhaustion
- Breaks down the "mental chess game" that creates an invisible load
- Offers practical, immediately applicable strategies to lighten this burden
Listen as we explore:
- The physical and emotional symptoms most parents don't recognise
- Why traditional self-care advice often falls short for parents of teens
- Cultural dimensions that can intensify burnout
- How to shift from power struggles to power-sharing
Whether you're feeling overwhelmed by your teen's push for independence or want to strengthen your connection without sacrificing your well-being, this episode provides a judgment-free sanctuary and a clear path forward.
Discover actionable steps to transform your relationship with your teen while preventing burnout because the teen years shouldn't drain your soul.
