"I really felt you understood our situation. I have been on other burn-out courses and this was certainly the most helpful"

Let’s be honest—parenting is one of the most rewarding journeys we can take, but it's also one of the most overwhelming.

Statistics tell us that 1 in 5 parents struggle with mental health challenges. This number is even higher among parents and carers who have children with additional needs.

In today’s fast-paced world, parental burnout is often brushed off as just part of the job. But it’s more than that. When we’re exhausted, mentally drained, and struggling to keep up, it impacts every part of our lives, including how we parent.

And still, it’s rarely discussed, and sometimes parents don't even know they are in it.

⭐Feedback from a parent that attended the workshop⭐

"Just discussing that parental burnout was a thing, explaining burnout as well as defining it; along with our own experience, was validating and relatable to how I have felt and still do."

Are you in parental burnout? Or perhaps you’re teetering on the edge of burnout. If so, I want you to know: you’re not alone.

I was always looking for the 'right' way to parent, placing huge amounts of pressure on myself to be the 'perfect parent'. Then on top of that I realised I was part of a family that needed to do things differently and that added a whole new level to the stresses and strains.

I slammed my way into burnout, without even realising what it was, or I was in it. Sometimes we know, sometimes we don't, sometimes we don't see it coming and sometimes we do but we can't avoid it, or we ignore it.

Navigating your way round burnout and through burnout is not easy and it takes time. There is no one size fits all or magic wand. BUT........... with knowledge, strategies, a plan and a back up team there is a way.

⭐Feedback from a parent that attended the workshop⭐

"Everything that you said hit home so much."

I'm going to be straight with you. Integrity is really important me.

There is no quick way or cookie cutter way out of burnout. It needs to be bespoke to you and your situation and your nervous system. What works for one doesn't work for another. But don't worry I've got your back. This is just a taster. This will start you on your way and help you decide if you would like to work with me further.

This workshop will give you:

An overview of what parental burnout is, so you can understand why it happens

What burnout might look like?

And I'll go through two strategies that made the biggest difference to me for you to try and how to begin your burnout safety plan .
