You’re doing everything you can—books, prayers, redirection, deep breaths—and your child is still melting down, spiraling, or exploding over the smallest things. And now? You’re emotionally drained, spiritually depleted, and wondering if anything will ever work.

In this episode, we’re talking about the kind of parenting burnout no one warns you about—and what to do when all your effort still leaves you feeling stuck. If you're walking on eggshells and parenting on empty, this one's for you.

Inside this episode:

  • Why traditional parenting advice often backfires with emotionally intense kids
  • The silent toll of “always being on”—and how to start refueling
  • The truth about effort vs. effectiveness when your child needs more
  • What your child really needs in their hardest moments (and how to offer it)
  • How the Calm Connection Parent Coaching Program helps you move from burnout to breakthrough

If you're tired of trying harder and still getting nowhere… take a deep breath, friend. You’re not failing. You're parenting a uniquely wired child who needs something different—and there’s help available.
