How to Reduce Your Stress and Be a Happier Parent
When parents are overwhelmed by all that there is to do, they may feel like they are running on empty. They may be exhausted, yet they have a hard time getting enough sleep. They may feel emotionally drained. They may feel burned out. It is hard to replenish their physical and emotional reserves. Their relationships with their loved ones, including their children, may be strained.
This 20-minute talk may help you overcome the stress. You will get some ideas on how your family life can get better.

Reduce Your Family’s Stress:
Perhaps you lie awake at night worrying how you can get everything on your to-do list done.
You are lovingly caring for your family. You are taking care of your responsibilities.
AND yet you may feel like you have too many demands on your time and energy.
Making change is hard. It does not happen overnight. It takes time. Many folks will need a step-by-step guide/blueprint of what to do to make things better. Consider when one builds a house, they need a blueprint to guide the builder on what to do. The builder hires the folks who will put in the foundation and the plumbing, paint, and put the roof on. The builder will keep track of what needs to be done and when. The builder will check to see if more supplies are needed. The blueprint alone does not build the house, though.
Just like a homebuilder, you may need a guide to help you reduce your family’s stress. I can coach you through the steps/blueprint that you can take.
You will get the support you need: more guidance, more encouragement, and less self-blame.
I will encourage you to TAKE CARE OF YOU FIRST.
Your family life will get better. You will feel better. You will find more joy.
Coaching is $75 per session.

When parents are stressed by the clock or the calendar, sometimes they might procrastinate or wait to act. There are many reasons why it may be hard to take action.
Sometimes when there is too much to do, it might be hard to know where to start or when.
Procrastinating can happen. Sometimes it is not procrastination, though. It might be waiting – for good reasons.
Download this action plan with the steps you can take to overcome procrastination or to help recognize that you just might be waiting for a good reason.
My approach is one of encouragement and guidance. No judgment. No blaming.
My services are available on Zoom, on the phone, or in-person.
