Welcome back to The Byrds’ Nest!

This episode is for every parent or caregiver who’s found themselves barefoot at 3AM stepping on a toy, cleaning up a mess, or trying to calm a crying child while running on fumes. If your house feels loud, sticky, and full of chaos… you’re not alone—and this one’s for you.

We’re getting honest about what it really means to parent in the trenches—those raw, messy, exhausting moments that don’t make the highlight reel but shape us the most.

We don’t always get it right—and that’s okay.

Give yourself grace over guilt.

Ask for help.

Rest when you can.

And never believe that the way things are today is how they’ll always be.

Let’s keep the conversation going
