🥱 The Real Reason You’re Still Exhausted (Even When You “Rest”)
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:
​ No wonder collapsing on the couch doesn’t fix it. ​ Because when your mind is still spinning, your body might stop—but your nervous system doesn’t. So what does real rest look like?​ It’s less about doing nothing and more about what makes you feel seen, safe, and satisfied. ​ Here are 3 things that can actually start to refill your tank: 1. Name the drain. Take 5 minutes to write down everything that’s weighing on your mind. You can’t release what you haven’t acknowledged. Throw out the trash… toss the things that are occupying space in your mind without serving any purpose. Those worries and what if’s. 2. Feel something real. Put on music that moves you. Cry. Laugh. Shake it out. Emotional energy needs movement to shift. 3. Say no early and often. Start with one small thing today. Protect your peace like it’s your most precious asset—because it is. You don’t need a spa day. You need space to feel like you again. If you’re craving more moments that actually restore you—not just get you through—keep an eye out. I’ve got something coming that’s built for parents like us. ​ P.S. Want me to share more of these micro-recharge tools? Hit reply and say “yes” so I know to include them in upcoming emails. ​ |

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. Parenting is exhausting when every little thing feels like a battle—power struggles, setting rules that actually stick, and figuring out discipline without feeling like the bad guy. But here’s the thing: change is possible. That’s exactly why I created the Path to...
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...
