About this listen

Parenting is hard. Being kind to yourself doesn't have to be.

If you feel overwhelmed, guilty, or like you're failing more often than you'd like to admit... you're not alone. When you're stressed it can be hard to show up calmly for your child. Once you learn self-compassion, everything gets easier: your relationships, your reactions, your patience, your peace. In this book, you'll learn how to:

  • Release guilt, shame, and self-criticism that make parenting heavier.
  • Regulate your emotions in high-stress moments (meltdowns, mornings, bedtime, conflict).
  • Stop yelling and reacting out of old wounds or overwhelm.
  • Break generational cycles with gentle, mindful strategies.
  • Build resilience so you can stay grounded even on the hardest days.
  • Set compassionate boundaries with your child – and with yourself.
  • Create more connection, presence, and joy at home.

It's full of realistic examples, science-backed practices, and short reflections you can do even on chaotic days. Whether you're an overwhelmed mom, an exhausted dad, or someone who grew up without emotional support and wants to do things differently – this book is for you. If you want calmer days, softer reactions, and a deeper connection with your child... start here.
