Each episode explores both sides of the parenting journey: managing stress and societal expectations, and building strong, meaningful relationships with your children. We’ll talk about the tough stuff; the things people don’t want to talk about or try to hide yet everyone experiences, the moments of feeling stuck and the times when parenting doesn’t feel like the dream you imagined…the ‘hidden’ parts of parenting that results in yelling, anger & sometimes even rage.

Parenting doesn’t have to be a daily struggle. Let’s normalize the challenges, let go of shame, and discover ways to enjoy the journey while strengthening your connection with your kids.

Episode 9: More Isn’t Better: Overscheduling, Burnout, and the Power of Family Values
One of the most common decisions parents face is whether to sign their child up for yet another program, sport, or activity. It can feel like saying “yes” is the only way to be a good parent but what if the pressure to do it all is actually hurting our kids and disconnecting our families? In this episode of Parenting Through Connection, we’re talking about the hidden costs of overscheduling and how to step out of the guilt and into alignment with what really matters to your family.
If your days are starting to feel like a never-ending race and you're craving more peace, presence, and time to just be, we’ll explore how returning to your family values can guide your decisions with more clarity and less stress, and why slowing down can be the most powerful thing you do.
What you'll learn in this episode:
• Why a full calendar isn’t always a sign of success and what kids really need instead.
• The nervous system toll of go-go-go culture on both kids and parents.
• The deeper fears and guilt that often drive our over-scheduling and how to quiet them.
• How clarifying your family values makes decision-making feel easier and more aligned.
• Simple, intentional ways to build in downtime and reconnect with your child, and yourself!
