Season 1 | Episode 6 | Help Your Kids … by Helping Yourself | Help Your Kids Podcast

Welcome back to Help Your Kids, if you’ve been feeling stretched thin as a parent, this is the podcast for you!

In this episode, your hosts Dr. Mish Seabrook and Shelley Smith, flip the script - because sometimes, the best way to support your child is by taking care of you first!

We know parenting can be all-consuming, and putting your own needs on the backburner might feel like the norm. But what if prioritising your wellbeing actually made you a more present, calm, and connected parent?

Here’s what we explore

• Why self-care isn't selfish, it’s essential
• How kids are deeply influenced by the emotional climate around them
• Simple ways to check in with yourself (even when you're short on time or energy)
• What to do when guilt creeps in, and how to reframe it
• The impact of modelling healthy boundaries, rest, and emotional regulation for your kids.

Taking care of yourself isn’t about being perfect, it’s about being real, and giving your child the gift of a parent who’s human too.

As always, we’re right here with you - helping you build more clarity, calm, and connection, one step at a time.
