Solo ep - Life behind Parenthood - big goals, big anxiety, bigger lessons
This week’s solo episode is basically a debrief of the year where I thought I could “have it all”… and instead had goals bigger than my patience, sacrifices bigger than my sleep, and anxiety bigger than my to-do list.I’m spilling the truth about what I aimed for, what I learned the hard way, and why next year I will not be signing up for the Olympic sport of Overcommitting.2026 motto? Balance, baby.More calm, less chaos. More joy, fewer mental spirals.If your year was also “a little bit wow but also… why?”, this one’s for you.Follow Parenthood on Instagram @parenthoodpodWe’d love it if you could share this episode with a friend!Parenthood Podcast acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we work and live, and recognise their continuing connection to land, water and community.
