Exhaustion and burnout for parents is so common that I sometimes wonder if we realize it's not actually inevitable. Whether we wear our tiredness as a badge of honor because it shows how much we sacrifice for our kids, or we just look around and can't find a single other parent who's well-rested, it can certainly seem that being chronically exhausted is just part of what it means to have kids in this culture.
But I don't believe this has to be true. I do believe that there are going to be times when, as parents, we reach far down into our deepest reserves to give our kids, our families, and our communities. And I also believe that we can both build up those reserves so that we have more to give when the circumstances arise, and replenish even during the intense times.
We don't have to live chronically exhausted and overwhelmed, with our own needs lost in the shuffle. We can be well-cared-for as parents. And in fact, tending to our own needs allows us to show up with the energy and capacity to pour life into our kids, our family, and our community.
If you'd like some help clearing a path forward, I'd love to offer you a half hour of personal attention and guidance to help you discern what might be your next right step. You might decide to continue on with my support in some way, or you may decide have everything you need to forge ahead yourself. Either way, I'd love to help you discover less stress and more rest in your life with kids.
