Behind-the-Scenes: My Hardest Week as a Working Parent
I’m Not Perfect—And That’s Okay.I remember this one week that nearly broke me. My husband was on a work trip, leaving me solo with our two girls—and the schedule was brutal. Swim and track practice on the same nights. Girl Scouts on other nights. Homework, dinner, and a full-time job in between. And then the chaos really kicked in. My 10-year-old’s hormones were in overdrive, my 9-year-old’s ADHD was nonstop, and they were constantly fighting. As if that wasn’t enough, I got a call from the school nurse—my youngest had a “fever.” I was in the middle of an important meeting, but of course, I had to drop everything to go get her. By the end of the week? Exhausted didn’t even begin to cover it. I wasn’t sleeping. My carefully planned schedule had imploded. And for someone who needs structure, that was the worst part. But somehow, we got through it. And when my husband finally walked through the door, I handed over the reins, grabbed my dairy-free ice cream, and collapsed onto the couch to binge Zero Day on Netflix. Here’s what this week taught me:
To every parent balancing it all—you’re doing better than you think. And if this week is feeling like that week for you, give yourself some grace (and maybe some ice cream). How do you handle weeks like this? Hit reply—I’d love to hear your strategies. |

Why You’re Still Drained, Even After “Resting” You finally get a break. The kids are at Grandma’s. Your calendar is quiet. You even get to sit down. But somehow… you’re still exhausted. Sound familiar? Here’s the truth no one talks about: Rest isn’t just about sleep or downtime—it’s about emotional recovery. And for working parents? Emotional depletion runs deep. Every day, you’re managing not just tasks, but feelings: The guilt of missing bedtime for a work meeting The pressure to keep it...
Why Hustle Culture is a Trap for Parents More hours, more work, more stress—why are we still buying into this? You’ve heard it before: “You just have to want it more. Work harder. Sleep less.” But here’s the thing—hustle culture wasn’t built for working parents. And it’s burning you out… you’re not the Energizer Bunny. You need an off switch from time to time. Somehow, you’ve been sold the idea that productivity equals worth. That success demands sacrifice. That if you’re tired, stretched too...
You’ve read the books. You’ve sat through the webinars. You’ve taken the workshops. And sure, the advice sounds great—until you’re in the middle of a meltdown, your kid is ignoring you (again), and nothing is working. I get it.
