Ep #152 How to Build Parenting Capacity This Summer (Even With Goats, Sharpies & Zero Alone Time)
Manage episode 484141570 series 3515194
We’re not talking about having a better routine or stricter chore charts (though hey, no shame if those help!).
We’re talking about your capacity—your emotional, mental, physical, and energetic ability to keep showing up for your kids… even when the house is wild, everyone’s hot, and the snack requests haven’t stopped since 7:12 AM.
✨ Here’s what we explore in this episode:
- What capacity actually is (and why it's the #1 thing affecting your parenting)
- Why summer drains you faster—and what research says about stress and structure loss
- What happened the summer I lost my mind (Sharpies, goats, pink cowboy boots… you’ll see)
- The truth about yelling (spoiler: it’s not a discipline problem, it’s a capacity problem)
- How your child’s behavior is information, not evidence that you’re failing
- What Alfie Kohn, Dr. Neufeld, and Gabor Maté teach us about connection-based parenting
- Why rewards, punishments, and “perfect summers” backfire
- 5 ways to start building more parenting capacity right now
- How to shift from "survival mode mom" to the parent you actually want to be
We’ll also talk about what it looks like to create your own Summer Parent Identity—the version of you that leads with presence, play, and calm (instead of reactivity and guilt).
☀️ Because summer doesn’t need to be perfect.
It just needs you—regulated, resourced, and rooted in connection.
Join me for the No Yell Workshop, a 2-hour live class where you’ll learn the real reason parents yell and walk away with a customized plan to stop. Happening Sept 25th at noon ET (with replay included)
