About this listen

A refreshingly honest book for today's hard-pressed parents showing how the practice of self-compassion can transform family life.

Life is chaotic, parenting is hard and many of us know that what we're currently doing just isn't working for anyone. Most of the time we just end up feeling like we're doing a sh*t job.

But it doesn't have to be that way. Social worker, parent coach and mum Carla Naumburg presents her own experience of self-compassion to show how this simple evidence-based practice can transform the way you parent. From navigating difficult emotions and dealing with everyday stresses, You Are Not a Sh*tty Parent shows how a bit of self-compassion can lead to a more engaged style of parenting, better relationships with your kids and a lot more joy.

Carla's engaging, funny and authentic voice will help you see that there is no such thing as a sh*t parent.

I think every parent should listen to this. Carla has such a warm and funny writing style but more importantly, as someone that works in paediatric healthcare, I know that what she says is actually true! A great book.

Such a great book
