Modern parenting feels overwhelming for many families today. Between social media parenting advice, impossible standards, and constant comparison, many parents feel burned out, anxious, and like they are failing.
In this episode of Fine, I’ll Talk About It, Danielle Young talks with EMDR therapist and trauma-informed parenting coach Danik Bernier about why parenting feels harder than ever and what is actually happening inside the nervous system when parents feel overwhelmed.
They discuss how social media parenting advice creates unrealistic expectations, how generational trauma shows up in parenting patterns, and why nervous system regulation matters for both parents and kids.
You will learn why gentle parenting sometimes feels impossible, why parental burnout is increasing, and what parents can do to create calmer homes without chasing perfect parenting.
