đ Why Overworking Isnât Love: Rethinking Sacrifice
|
You work hard because you love your kids. You want to give them the bestânice clothes, activities, vacations, all the things they get excited about. But letâs be real: do they really need more stuff, or do they just need more of you? â This weekend, my husband was out of town for work, so it was just me and the girls. I could have used the time to catch up on emails or tackle my never-ending to-do list. But instead, I chose to be with them. Friday night, I surprised them with tickets to a dine-in movie theater, and we saw Dog Man. We ordered some good food, and we giggled our way through the entire film. On Saturday, we grabbed some pizza, curled up on the couch to watch the new Henry Danger movie, and later, I set up a little spa nightâpainting their nails, putting on face masks, and lounging in bed, laughing at the silly way our faces looked. It wasnât extravagant. It wasnât expensive. But it was everything to them. Itâs easy to fall into the mindset that working more means providing more. But at what cost? Your kids may enjoy the things you buy, but what theyâll remember are the nights you spent just being with themâfully present, fully engaged. So this week, I challenge you: donât fill your extra time with more work. Fill it with more moments. Choose connection over busyness. Because those simple, ordinary nights? Theyâre the ones that turn into lifelong memories. Whatâs one way you can be more present with your kids this week? Hit replyâIâd love to hear. â With Love, |

Why Youâre Still Drained, Even After âRestingâ You finally get a break. The kids are at Grandmaâs. Your calendar is quiet. You even get to sit down. But somehow⊠youâre still exhausted. Sound familiar? Hereâs the truth no one talks about: Rest isnât just about sleep or downtimeâitâs about emotional recovery. And for working parents? Emotional depletion runs deep.

Why Hustle Culture is a Trap for Parents More hours, more work, more stressâwhy are we still buying into this? Youâve heard it before: âYou just have to want it more. Work harder. Sleep less.â But hereâs the thingâhustle culture wasnât built for working parents. And itâs burning you out⊠youâre not the Energizer Bunny. You need an off switch from time to time.

Youâve read the books. Youâve sat through the webinars. Youâve taken the workshops. And sure, the advice sounds greatâuntil youâre in the middle of a meltdown, your kid is ignoring you (again), and nothing is working. I get it.

But hereâs the thing: change is possible. Thatâs exactly why I created the Path to...
