Ever found yourself awake at 10:47 p.m., the house finally quiet, doomscrolling your way through a spiral of “parenting tips” that somehow convince you you’re destroying your child’s future over a toothbrush?

If so, HI, you’re in good company!

I hear this all the time in sessions, and honestly, I’m in it too. We’re the first generation of parents who’ve been handed oceans of contradictory information at all hours of the day, on so many platforms.

Instead of feeling empowered, most of us feel inadequate, anxious, and convinced we’re already behind. It’s not because we’re weak. It’s because our brains were NEVER meant to process parenting through a firehose!

Our nervous system is experiencing overstimulation, and is desperately trying to protect us. It’s exhausting!

If you feel like you’re drowning in parenting content, here’s your permission to slow down, unfollow accounts that spike your anxiety, and intentionally choose what you consume. After all, YOU are your child’s expert, and you’re already a “good mom”!
