Low Demand Parenting

Burnout doesn't last forever.


Listen Later

Burnout can feel endless and all-consuming, both for children experiencing it and for the parents navigating it alongside them. In this solo episode, I’m sharing four key steps to understand and support your child’s journey out of burnout. We’ll tackle common misconceptions, unpack what burnout truly is, and explore how to create a healing cocoon of safety and love. I’ll also outline the stages of recovery and offer practical tools to meet your child where they are. Burnout is challenging, but it’s also transformative—and together, we can embrace this journey with compassion, hope, and acceptance.

 

Aligning With Yourself: Break free from 'shoulds.' Step into your power.

This innovative course about letting go of the guilt, shame, and “shoulds” that keep us stuck in an identity that no longer serves us. With insightful journaling pages, fresh mindfulness exercises, and engaging rituals, this course is for parents who are tired of performing, tired of people-pleasing, and ready to reclaim their energy, their identity, and their truth.
