I don’t actually think parenting is the hard part.

I think it’s everything around it that’s exhausting us.

In this episode, I’m talking about what it’s really like to love your kids deeply… and still feel completely overwhelmed by the logistics of daily life.

Because when I actually have time and space with my kids? I’m obsessed with them.

It’s the pickups.
The practices.
The dinners.
The appointments.
The homework.
The mental load of keeping everything moving.

That’s the part that’s draining.

And then we make it mean something about us.

We tell ourselves we’re impatient.
We’re not present enough.
We’re doing it wrong.

But what if the problem isn’t us?

What if we’ve been sold a version of parenting that was never meant to be done inside this kind of pressure, pace, and isolation?

This episode is a reminder that:

You don’t hate parenting.
You’re overwhelmed by the conditions you’re parenting in.

And that’s a very different thing.
