Parenting in December is the ultimate endurance event, and in this solo episode, Oli Patrick speaks directly to the tired parents living it. He acknowledges the reality behind the festive chaos: broken sleep, endless school events, family pressures, emotional overload, and the constant demands that leave mums and dads running on fumes.

Oli also breaks down why parents feel so depleted at this time of year, explaining how physical exhaustion, emotional strain, and cognitive overload collide to drain energy faster than it can be restored. Instead of offering unrealistic advice or big lifestyle overhauls, he introduces the idea of “micro replenishment”, small, meaningful moments of rest that parents can actually fit into their day.

With empathy, humour, and practicality, Oli gives parents permission to protect their limited energy, set boundaries, let go of non-essential commitments, and prioritise their own wellbeing without guilt.
