Listen "Running on Empty: Finding Space for Yourself as a Parent"
Episode Synopsis
Parenting doesn’t come with a roadmap, but sometimes it does come with wax in the drain and a pumpkin patch meltdown! Join us as we get real about juggling our own needs with the chaos of family life, from unexpected “kid experiments” to the stress of spirit days, Halloween costumes, and daily demands. We’ll talk about how we’re learning to protect our energy, embrace imperfect moments, and why showing our kids what self-care looks like can be just as valuable as any life lesson.
