Ep. 32 - Letters: Parenting on Empty


Listen Later

đŸ’„ You’re Not Just Tired — You’re Disappearing đŸ’„

😼‍💹 Ever feel like you're running a taxi service instead of living your life? This week, Matt & Alona dive into the raw truth so many parents are living: we're parenting on empty — and it’s breaking more than just our energy. This isn’t about self-care bubbles or spa days. It’s about reclaiming your identity, your marriage, and your worth before it all vanishes beneath your kid’s schedule.

đŸ”„ Panic attacks in parking lots. Marriages reduced to logistics. Parents who can’t even remember what they like anymore. These stories will hit hard because they’re real — and possibly yours:

  • Melissa had a panic attack before a soccer game and realized she'd lost herself in the carpool chaos. Her healing started with one “no” at a time.
  • Tom and Vanessa were nothing more than “Uber Parents” until they booked one night away. That micro-shift became the rhythm that saved their marriage.
  • Mark said yes to every team and clinic for his son, only to realize both of them were burning out — and his son was starting to hate it all.

Nudges: 

I don’t know who I am anymore. Every moment of my day is for my kids, and if I had free time, I honestly wouldn’t know what to do with it. That scares me.

We give our kids everything
 except us. My partner and I are running on fumes. How do we reconnect when romance and laughter feel like distant memories?

I thought saying yes to every opportunity was love. But I’m exhausted, and my kid seems to hate it too. What if love means doing less?
