HEY OTHER PARENTS - S02E009: Parental Burnout is Real: How to Recharge Without the Guilt
🎙️ In This Episode:
Parenting is hard—there’s no sugarcoating it. Between sleepless nights, endless to-do lists, and the pressure to “get it all right,” burnout is real. In this episode of Hey Other Parents, we’re talking about parenting burnout: what it looks like, how to acknowledge it, and—most importantly—how to recharge.
What We Cover:
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
How to recognize burnout and admit, “Hey, I’m stressed,” to yourself and your family.
Practical strategies to hit reset, whether you’ve got 1 minute, 5 minutes, or 30 minutes.
Why it’s okay to ask for help—and why it’s not a sign of weakness.
How laughter, real talk, and community can lighten the load on tough days.
The power of modeling stress management for your kids so they can learn to handle emotions, too.
We’re normalizing the imperfect side of parenting because nobody’s life looks like a Pinterest board—and that’s okay. So take a breath, grab your favorite snack, and join us for a conversation full of tips, humor, and the reminder that you’re not in this alone.
