Happy New Year, friends! In this episode, I’m closing out 2025 with a big reflection on how drastically my work with parents has changed. More and more, I’m finding that parenting “strategies” don’t work—not because the strategies are wrong, but because parents are too overstretched, too exhausted, and too busy to actually implement anything.
I’m talking about lifestyle overwhelm, dual-income myths, overstimulation, screen dependence, boundary fatigue, kids in diapers at age nine because parents are too tired to night-train, and why younger moms are facing pressures I didn’t even have language for until now. I also share what’s coming in the new year—including parent interviews, in-person community vibes, online classes, and a deeper focus on helping families rebuild spaciousness, simplicity, and sanity.
If you’re starting the year burnt out, resentful, disorganized, or wondering how life got so loud… this episode is for you.
