Is connected parenting accidentally leading moms to burnout?

I think a lot of us have been doing something exhausting in the name of good parenting, including myself. Today, I'm showing you the big shift that stops connection from turning into exhausting, all-day emotional labor.

You’ll Learn:

  • What intensive parenting is (and why it’s not required for connection)
  • My thoughts on the “Beta Mom” movement
  • Why you don’t have to solve every feeling
  • The most important gift you can give your kid

The exhaustion that you’re feeling doesn’t mean that you’re not doing a good job. It might just be a sign that you’re doing more emotional labor that is actually required.
