Parenting wasn’t supposed to feel like this.
We thought exhaustion would pass once we could sleep through the night. But instead, it showed up in different ways: chaotic mornings, endless chores, never-ending screen battles, and guilt that made us feel like we weren’t enough.

The truth? We had fallen into the parent burnout spiral.

It started with tired mornings, which led to rushed routines. Rushed routines led to skipped meals, more screen time for the kids, and more guilt for us. By the end of the day, we were drained, frustrated, and disconnected—from our kids, from each other, and from ourselves.

The spiral wasn’t just about being tired. It was about being stuck. And once we realized that, we knew something had to change.

I’ll be honest—there was a stretch of life when parenting felt like drowning.
I was exhausted, our routines were chaotic, screens ruled the house, and mealtime often ended in tears (sometimes mine). I was snappy with my kids, disconnected from my partner, and constantly surrounded by clutter that felt like it was closing in.

I would lay in bed at night scrolling through my phone, wondering: Why does everyone else seem to have it together, and I’m barely hanging on?
The guilt was crushing.

The truth hit me one night when I snapped at my child over something tiny—something that wasn’t about them at all. It was about me. I was burnt out, stretched too thin, and trying to do everything without any plan. That’s when I realized: this wasn’t working. Something had to change.
